Any similarity of characters with real world is either coincidence or intended with implied differences (Example: If I wanted to write a story on say Jasmine of Disney because she's hot, the character will similar in appearance but different physically in ways as well as psychologically). Under no circumstances should anyone under 18, or 21 (under local goverment law), or any non-Adult read this! This work contains graphic violence and acts of pornography. Regardless of description (or me simply forgetting to state it in the story), none of the characters in my stories are intended to be under eighteen years of age. With that disclaimer aside, sit back and enjoy the stories filled with sex and (gasp!) plot. On a personal note, I'd like to give a shout out to KrellSchollar in thanks for advice and inspiration. Check out his "Roger and the Lesbian Elves" series! It rocks! Also, though his stories are no longer here, I'd like to thank Jashin with the infamous "Wraith Spider" series for great inspiration as well. I can only hope to get close to his success. Lastly, want to thank my good friend Sarah for all her support and encouragement that made this shy guy able to write the story he dreamed of! Feel free to send feedback to me. Chapter 1 - The Exotic Dancer Richard Thorburn slashed his blade through the air into the imaginary foe he was now slaying. He stopped the sword at the end of the arc and held that pose thoughtfully. He wondered if he looked heroic like he had always imagined the heroes of legend must have looked. With a rueful shake of his head, he laughed for a moment and dropped to his ass on the grass below. He was exhausted after a full day of sword practice from early morning on into the hot afternoon. Wiping the sweat from his brow, the young warrior looked out from the top of the grassy hill to the expanse of the Sonel Sea stretching out into the west. A refreshing sea breeze kicked up and ruffled his simple clothing. It was a wonderful breeze on such a hot day in one of the southern most reaches of the Anlon Continent. Deciding to call it a day, Richard quickly leapt up to his feet and quickly regretted it. Aching muscles from sword practice all day and yesterday with his hand-to-hand fighting training screamed at the sudden movement. Eyes popping open wide, he groaned in pain and fell backwards. A loud thud filled the air, scattering birds into the blue sky and a plume of dust wafting up into the air. Richard lay there twitching and gritting his teeth in pain. "Next time, take it a bit more easy Blaze", he chided himself. That's what he and most of the village people called him. He'd always been small growing up, but he had always been quick and agile because of such. No bully could ever touch him or friends catch him while playing tag. Thus, his earned nickname Blaze for his speed. Getting up more slowly and carefully this time, he picked up his gear to walk the short distance to the small hut that crowned the top of the hill. Grunting with the effort, Blaze pulled up a full bucket of water out of the well. He stopped and regarded the reflection in the water. Staring back at him was a young man of twenty-three springs with short brown hair and hazel eyes full of life. The fellow wasn't too tall for a human man, only reaching up to five feet eight inches, Blaze would guess. He wasn't very muscular either like most would think of the god-like heroes in stories. Instead he was leaner and muscles toned for endurance. A warrior of moderate strength but built more for speed and agility. He wore his dark grey tunic with black pants. The fellow wasn't too bad looking either. The warrior grinned back at him before Blaze raised the bucket up over his head and dumped the contents. "AHHHHHHHHHH DAMN THAT'S COLD!" Shivering, he hugged his arms about himself and gave a small sneeze. Now that was a sure way to cool off quickly! With a grumble he dropped the bucket down into the cold watery depths. "Damn, it's getting close to dinner and mom is sure going to be pissed if I'm late again", he grumbled. Quickly strapping the two-sheath harness across his chest before whipping his twin blades into their holders crisscrossing his back, he set off for one quick stop before heading home. He halted his steps before the grave of his master, who had lived up here and trained him as an aspiring boy. It was hard to believe that a year had passed already since the old man had left. He bowed in respect as he always did before. Blaze then set off for home on the outskirts of the village Kyros, dreaming as always of becoming a great hero tales will be told about at the fireplaces in many homes. As often naught, those thoughts lead to what always brought a big ass grin to his face. Heroes always get to score with some hot princess! Hell yeah! ****************** The village of Kyros was a small fishing village along the coast of the Sonel Sea in the southwestern portion of the country Quinlinn. Most humans in the world these days lived in Quinlinn to Blaze's knowledge. He had always been told that the other races were not always so fond of humans for various reasons. But the isolation and limited knowledge he had of the world was the reason he so often dreamed of what was out there. Taking a right off the beaten path into Kyros, he took the shortcut at a quick jog until he came up to the small humble home of the Thorburns. It wasn't too big with a few rooms and only one level, but this wooden structure was home sweet home! Opening the door, he stepped inside and called out, "Mother! I'm home! What's for supper tonight?" A short woman with shoulder length brown hair and hazel eyes poked her head out of the doorway to give him a motherly smile. "The usual, son! Fish stew with freshly cut salad on the side. Proper food for our 'hero-in-training', right?" Blaze's shoulders slumped as her head popped back into the kitchen. His head dropped as he sighed. Fish, again? That was the problem living in a fishing village. You worked with fish, ate fish, and even smelled of fish. But mom was right. He did need at least some proper foods to keep strong and the fat off. Stepping into the small kitchen, he sat down at the small table and regarded his mother. For a woman getting into her middle forties, Ina Thorburn aged quite well. She still had a nice hourglass figure from her youth and he didn't see many more than but a few wrinkles that enhanced her beauty rather than mar it. In fact, he'd caught quite a few of his friends ogling her at times and even whispering how they'd like to jump her panties sometime. His buddies could be just as perverted as he could, if not worse! His mother hummed a few soft tunes as she finished up and set their dinner before them. Sitting down across from him, she smiled and regarded him for a few moments before speaking, "Something on your mind, Richard?" Startled out of his thoughts he stared down into his stew. "Well..... mother... I....," he shook his head and resolved himself, "I believe I'm ready to leave and go find adventure!" "Oh," was all Ina said as she looked at him quietly. She had always been a great mother in supporting his training, but he knew she didn't fully approve. After all, shortly after impregnating her and never finding out, his father left for adventure with promises to bring back fame and fortune for them. What he found instead was an orc spear through his gut. "Well you know you'll always have my support. It will be hard seeing my little boy leaving home, but you are a grown man now. Just please be careful, alright?" Ina looked at him with worry that he know would only fester and grow continuously unless he told her he would. "I give you my word mother. I won't end up like dad. I won't go in search of riches and possessions like he did. That only brings about the worst of troubles. My search for adventure will be in hope to pursue a quest with honorable intentions and benefits for many good people." He didn't add that scoring with some hot women would also be a great benefit! That perverted grin again made its appearance on his face as he was lost in sexy thoughts. That was until he saw his mother watching him suspiciously with a raised eyebrow. Oh shit! The grin vanished as quickly as a bride's virginity on her wedding night. "I... I think I'll head out in two days. I'll start packing a few things up tonight in my bag", he said as he thought it out. His mother smiled now and nodded, "I agree on a couple days. That should give you enough time to plan and think things over. I will get together to dried food supplies tonight. You, in the meantime, Mr. Hero need to get yourself some rest instead and pack your things tomorrow. You look exhausted." Blaze blinked and nodded. He was still very sore and tired as hell. They finished set about finishing their meal and cleaning up. His mother began to sort through their supplies as he walked into his own bedroom. He lay in his bed staring up at the ceiling for a while. The excitement of finally about being on his way kept him wide awake. He vowed he would make those he cared about proud. He also hoped to come back with a gorgeous woman. He finally fell asleep to the image of making out with a woman and his buddies standing by steaming jealously. That grin never left his face the whole night. ****************** Blaze sighed as he plopped down on the grass just beside the road. His legs and feet were killing him as he'd been walking so much. Taking his pack off and placing it next to him, he fished out some salted pork and chewed on it as his mind wandered. It had been a few weeks now since he'd left home and he'd had no luck so far. No towns in need of a warrior. No damsels in need of rescue. No mystical quests needing undertaking. Not even a single run-in with a monster to engage mortal combat in! His shoulders slumped and head dropped low while swallowing the last bit. Being a hero wasn't supposed to be this dull, he sighed. He reached into his pack for some thing more the snack on. He hummed softly to himself and closed his eyes to enjoy the cool breeze on yet another hot day. His arm dug from one side of his pack to the other while he did this. The arm paused and reversed. Upon reaching the other side again, it tensed and began moving to and fro in a blur. Blaze's eyes popped wide open. "WHAT!?" He then whipped his head over and into his pack. His eyes confirmed what his hand had been telling him. He was out of supplies! He groaned as he pulled his head out of the pack. "Can my luck get any fucking worse!?" BAM!!! He swayed around with his eyes spinning dizzily before he stopped and dropped back with a loud thud! The young warrior then lay there eyes spinning and counting the stars circling around his head. The mischievous gnome cackled at having nailed the stupid human right square in the head with the rock. It took off in a blur back into the woods, cackling the whole way. Blaze groaned and sat up rubbing his head. He could already feel the bump starting to swell pretty good. Standing up and putting his pack on, he set out for the city his mother had mentioned to him. Aidan should only be a half day away. It was near the capital of Quinlan, Adelar, in the center of the country. She said such a city as Aidan would have plenty of stores for supplies. Thankfully he had plenty of gold currency. He'd been saving up his whole life from small jobs around Kyros for this very journey. The distance turned out to be a bit more than he had been expecting, but he finally reached the city of Aidan. However, once he got within sight of the city, his aching feet were all but forgotten as his eyes damn near popped out of his skull. He stood there in amazement at the size of the place. Structures of all kinds filled this sprawling hub of humanity, many of multiple stories up to five and even six levels! He could fit ten villages the size of Kyros in Aidan and still have room to spare. All these people and white-washed buildings nestled in a cozy little valley with a lush forest on all sides. A certain buzzing started bringing him back to his senses, but too late. Standing there with his jaw hanging halfway down his chest and gawking, the fly flew right into that open cave before it. His breath caught as he suddenly choked on that doomed fly and coughed like mad until he was literally blue in the face. He sighed as it finally stopped and jumped back into the covered depths. Could it keep getting any worse? ****************** Well damn it all to hell if it couldn't! He'd been wander about the entire city for most of the afternoon. Not one inn in the entire city had an open room to take for the night. Standing in the middle of the street, all he could see was "NO VACANCY" signs spinning about him as he hopelessly wondered where he could spend the night. Seeing all the armed city guards patrolling, Blaze already guessed crashing in public areas was out of the question. "Hey you! Kid!" Blaze blinked and glanced around before seeing two guards looking at him. Oh shit! What did he do? He had just been standing there was all! He pointed towards himself and tried the most innocent 'surely not me' face he could put on. The guard waved at him impatiently, "Yeah you, kid! Get your ass over here!" Swallowing the sudden lump in his throat, he strode over to the two guards. Guards whom were much bigger than him. The guard regarded him for a moment before grinning. "Yeah, I thought so. You're new to Aidan aren't you?" Blaze scratched the back of his head and nodded with a big grin. The guard didn't look like he meant trouble thankfully. "Yes, sir. I'm from Kyros and traveling through on a journey. I came into the city to get some supplies I ran out of." The guard nodded before glancing to the night sky for a moment. "You aren't planning to be heading out again already are you? It can get nasty out in the woods after dark and I believe the guys over at the gates are shutting them by now. No one is let out and few let in with only good reason after they are closed." That would explain why most of the inns are full with travelers. Dangerous woods at night for traveling outside but safe at least inside the walls. Nice little trick to rake in commerce for the city. His shoulders slumped as he raised his arms in a helpless shrug of bafflement. "I know that, sir. That's why I've been trying to find an inn with a room available. But they're all full", he said. The other guard shook his head and looked to be mulling something over in his head. He looked like he finally made up his mind and looked at Blaze. "Go down to the Frisky Mare down that way about two city blocks. That place normally doesn't fill up because it's away from the trade section of the city. Most travelers don't even know it's there." Blaze lit up. Finally, his luck seemed to be making a turn for the better. "Thank you so much! Good evening to you!" The guard nodded with a friendly smile. "Take care of yourself kiddo!" After the young warrior disappeared from site, his companion leaned over to him while still keeping watch of their post. "Isn't that the sleazy strip club down on Whore's Lane? Why would you send the poor guy into that part of town? It's not really the safest area either at night you know!" The guard laughed and clapped his companion on the shoulder with his hand. "Relax! The guy looks like he can handle himself well enough. And I know where I sent him. Young guy looks like he needs to get his cherry popped!" The both exchanged knowing looks and burst out into howling laughter. Meanwhile, Blaze had finally reached Aidan's famed Whore's Lane without knowing what he was getting into. He started walking down the quiet and very empty street looking for this 'Frisky Mare' establishment. He rubbed his arm slightly as he grew more uncomfortable as he walked down this beaten dirt street. The buildings were not in great shape. Some in fact looked uninhabitable by being in shambles and near collapse. Why did the city let a place like this exist within its walls? After a few moments he reached part of the street that seemed more occupied, but not in any way that made him feel better. A lot of these places looked to be cheap bars and all too often a huge brawl was breaking out in the ones he passed. Then he noticed the ladies on corners and alleyways that were in groups or by themselves. The problem was they also noticed him! "Come over here honey! I'll fuck your big cock till you're sore!" "Forget that strumpet baby. Let me suck every bit of cum out of that big cock of yours!" "Over here darlin'! Check out the merchandise baby. My tits are just aching for your hands. Come give them a squeeze free of charge sweetie!" Why the hell would women degrade themselves like this? But still, some were showing him some pretty nice boobs! Oh, the temptation! Blaze almost gave in but he wanted to get to this inn before it too became full with occupants. Just then he was encased in shadow. He blinked and looked up to who had just stepped in front of him. Oh dear gods..... "Hey sweet thing, Looking for a good time tonight. I can assure you that big boy!" The voice was deep. Chest hair!? A beard!? No. No. Please, no he thought. He looked up into the face and saw without a doubt a very ugly human man with a red wig on. HUURMPHH!!! Blaze hand clamped over his mouth as he turned sickly pale before he swallowed and his face turned a sickly shade of green. The prostitute smiled, "What was that baby? You agree?" "No... I... think.. I just threw up in... my mouth......" The green-faced warrior swayed on his feet for a moment before shaking his head. "I'm sorry.... but I don't do guys." "Well that's alright my little stud, because I am a lady," the prostitute said while flicking the fake hair aside. "I'm a very pretty lady you see. Let me raise my skirt for you to see. Well pickle and eggs! There they are! But we can sti..." The prostitute's words were cut off when he looked up and all he saw was a plume of dust in front of him and a straight-line of raised dust going down the street. "Waaaaait! I have so much love to give!" Blaze finally skidded to a halt a good distance away and bent over to gasp for air as he supported himself with his hands on his knees. What the hell was wrong with this place?! How could that... that... No! He couldn't think about it as it damn near made him sick again. With a sigh he looked up and blinked in surprise at the building he was standing in front of. It was obviously in better shape than the rest of the street's buildings. It was roaring with a lot of noise, but not that of a brawl breaking out. Instead hooting laughter and cheering of occupants having a great time filled the air. He looked up to see the overhanging sign with a female horse that looked to be leaning forward and down with its ass raised up high. The Frisky Mare! He sighed in relief as he dusted himself off and made his way up the steps of this tavern. Raising his arm to push the door open, Blaze frowned when his wrist was suddenly gripped from the side. He looked aside and then he had to look up at the behemoth gripping his wrist tightly. The man was huge and built like a brick wall! Blaze guessed this was the tavern owner's protection. The bald man looked down at him with the one eye he had and frowned. "How old are you?" "I just turned twenty-three. Have I done something wrong?" The man shook his head and nodded. "You may proceed inside. Have yourself a good time and enjoy," the man said as he smiled and patted Blaze on the shoulder. Blaze grunted and rubbed his shoulder slightly with a nod to the big guy in thanks. The guy was strong as hell. He felt bad for anyone that got on the receiving end of this bouncer's fist. Blazing Glory Ch. 01 The inside of the Frisky Mare was a complete surprise. It was actually quite a nice place after all. The inside was even better looking than the outside with nicely painted walls and well lit so you could see where you were going easily. On one side of the large room was a bar with stools occupied by many patrons and a stairwell leading up to the second floor. In the middle of the room were many tables and even some booths along the walls. His eyes turned towards the other end of the room and the sight made his dick jump and throb in his pants. There was a raised stage at the end of the room. The wall behind it was covered by an expanse of purple cloth acting as curtains. The stage itself was wide enough to walk on without worry of falling off. A portion of the stage itself jutted out towards the center of the main room and had what looked to be a shiny metal poll extending from it up into the ceiling. The sight that really grabbed his attention though was the half naked brunette shaking her jiggling breasts to the hoots and hollers of the guys at the tables. In a shocked daze, Blaze moved over to an unoccupied table and sat down. He'd heard only a few of the fishermen and tradesmen of Kyros talk about places like this. It was surprising to find himself suddenly in such a place he'd always fantasized about. He couldn't help but grin and lean back in his chair to enjoy watching the brunette dancing on stage. She was much better looking than the women on the street for sure. He admired her body as he watched her sway to the beat of the band. Her breasts swayed about to the approval of the crowd that got even louder when she turned about to shake her ass towards them. "She's not bad is she?" Blaze jumped slightly when he heard the words spoken right behind him and a hand rest upon his shoulder. There was a chuckle as the owner of that hand pulled out a chair next to Blaze and sat down, "I apologize about that, kiddo. I didn't mean to make you jump out of your pants," the man said with an apologetic smile. Blaze nodded that it was all right as he took in a relaxing breath while studying this friendly newcomer. He was a man of middle-age and a big in the middle. It seemed most of his hair had vacated his head and moved south to give the man a full rich beard. Even though the old man had crows feet on the edges of his eyes, a bright youthful light was still evident in those eyes. The man was now watching the dancer before noticing that Blaze was looking at him. "Forgive me. It seems I've forgotten my manners and have not yet introduced myself. I am the owner of the Frisky Mare. For the sake of protecting my household as well as the ladies here, I won't give you my true name and hope you understand. You may call me 'Big Papa' as most of the locals and the ladies have come to call me. Sometimes, I wonder why they call me that," he said with a big roaring laugh. Blaze managed a smile before nodding in understanding that making so much money, thieves could be after the man's family for ransom. It was also kind of him to keep the security of the women in mind from stalkers and rapists. Then the thought flashed into his mind about his own journey. Heroes can make dangerous enemies. Such foes could harm his home and mother. Blaze had almost been ready to give the man his real name, but decided to play it safe. "My name's Blaze. It's a pleasure to meet you and you really have a great place here!" Blaze looked back to the dancer and did his best not to drool as she shook her ass towards him before bending over. She then reached an arm around to spread the lips of her pussy. She then winked at the open mouthed Blaze before disappearing behind the curtain. Big Papa laughed again and smiled broadly at him. "Thank you! I put a lot of elbow grease into this place and I'm glad to see you enjoying it. You're new to Aidan aren't you, Blaze?" After Blaze nodded silently, the tavern owner sighed, "Well, it's good to see new folk true enough, but I have to warn you. There have been a lot of deaths around Aidan these days. All of them have been men and range from your age on up to mine. There is no similarity between any of them other than one thing. When they are found, not only are they dead but also naked as the day they were born. The weirdest thing of all is that there is no sign of physical injury. I'm telling you this because you look like a good kid. I would hate to see anything happen to you." Blaze could hardly hold back his excitement at this news. This was the break he was looking for! A monster could be doing this or maybe it was something deeper. Something bigger! He decided then he would stick around Aidan and investigate this. Firstly though, there was the matter of why he was originally here. "Would you happen to have any rooms available?" Big Papa sat back in his chair and looked to be running a few thoughts through his mind before nodding, "Sure do, Blaze! I have just a couple left. I'll make sure to keep one available for you. Since you're a first timer to the Frisky Mare, I'll make sure it's one of the best here!" The bearded man laughed and clapped Blaze on the shoulder before rising out of his chair to his feet. Big Papa then stopped and looked across the room. Blaze looked to where he was staring and saw he was looking at the band finishing their break and getting ready for the next song. But something was different. A man was urgently cleaning the stage to make sure it was spotless and another was snuffing out numerous candles in the room to dim the light a bit. Most of the patrons had quieted down. The air was full of hushed anticipation. What the heck was going on? He looked up to Big Papa with a confused look. Big Papa looked down to him with a knowing smile. "Looks like you've arrived at the perfect time. You're going to meet the lady who's been the biggest reason I've been able to make the Frisky Mare this clean and successful. Just don't go falling in love with her like the rest of these poor saps here have." With another bark of laughter, Big Papa strode away as the band began to play. ****************** The stage was set and all was quiet. Every single eye was focused on the stage intently on the stage when the drum musician began to hit his drum with an alternating pattern of palm and fist. The slow beat with a deep base filled the silent room to where all present could hear and feel the rhythm. Then the curtain swayed aside as the figure stepped out into the light. The very sight literally took Blaze's breath away. Perfection! That was the only word Blaze could think of that could come close to describing the woman that stood before him now. She was quite tall in comparison to the other women of Aidan, only an inch short of his own height. She was tanned so perfectly that the women of his seaside village could only dream of such as they lay on the beach trying. Her skin was the softest brown like that of toasted almonds and looked truly natural on her. Long soft hair the color of light vanilla cream spilled down her back to caress her butt. The rest of her long hair split at her shoulders with the hair on her front side cascading down to her full breasts as dual long swaths of silken hair. Soft bangs reached down her forehead and at some points past her eyes helping to frame a beautiful face that every goddess existing must be jealous of. Her eyebrows and soft lips were of the same color to complete the dazzling contrast to her darker skin. Perfection! What nearly stopped his heart as well as his breath were those eyes. Bright, intense emerald green eyes stared out at them. He couldn't control the shiver running down his spine when those eyes reached him as she looked around the room. Those eyes could make a man's dick explode in his pants in an instant while melting his heart at the same time. Her body was not to be ignored either. She wore a sleeveless leather vest that stopped a little bit below her breasts, leaving her smooth brown belly for all to see. The crisscross of ties down the center of the vest strained to hold in her D-cup breasts as it displayed the beginning curves and cleavage beautifully. Black leather pants encased her firm shapely ass and long legs that seems to go on forever until they reached her black high-heeled boots. Then another beat of a lighter drum took up to match the deep base. At that moment, her hips began to sway in the beginning of the dance he would never forget for the rest of his life. Her hips swayed suggestively to and fro with the beat as she lowered her head. Her arms lifted up over her head to draw those full breasts taunt against the straining vest before her arms began to sway in a dance of their own. Then those twirling arms slowly descended as her hips rolled about sensually to the beat. Her eyes closed as her descending hands ran through her silken hair and lifted her mane of bright hair. There was no hooting and hollering as every being in the room was entranced by the dancer losing herself to the beat of the band. Her hands began to descend slowly, fingertips gently grazing her slender neck down to her shoulders before reaching her full breasts. Hands cupping full breasts through the vest, her hips continued their enticing motions. Then an intake of breath from anticipation filled the rooms as dancer's fingers undid a few laces to her vest. The garment loosened to reveal more flesh of those high rising mounds until her hands dropped away, leaving the vest still covering her. She spun around with arms extended before coming to a stop facing away from everyone. Her hips continued to roll about but with everyone now having full view of her leather-encased ass. Fingertips now caressed her sides before gliding down to her hips. Her ass stopped swaying about whilst fingertips delved into the waistline of her pants. Another intake of breath filled the entire room as the dancer slowly pushed down her pants to slowly reveal that perfect ass. Before anyone knew it, her leather pants were off in a flash revealing satin smooth legs as well as her ass with not a bit else. All eyes rested upon the soft smooth mound between her legs now revealed to them that every hard cock now ached for. The dancer rose quickly and twirled about with the beat, her hair fanning out about her beautifully as she discarded the pants to the stage floor. She came to a stop once again and faced her captive audience, left leg extended in front of her and right hand firmly on her hip in a pose of confidence before the mind-blowing sway began again. The dancer's hands reached up to her vest and slowly began to undo the laces of her vest teasingly. The corner of those pearly lips quirked into a small smirk as she undid the final lace but kept the vest covering her breasts as she turned around to face away. Both her hands finally reached up to rest on the back of her head, resulting in the vest dropping quickly to the floor to join the pants. She stood there before them now fully nude, with the exception of her boots, ass swaying about erotically and arms raised. The sides of those full brown breasts could be seen by all from behind her as she danced. She danced towards the back of the stage with short well-timed steps before finally turning around and dancing quickly up into full view of all. Her tits were big, round, and firm. The vest was probably held up by the breasts rather than vice versa! The high rising mounds were capped by pale nipples centered perfectly. Every woman's dream of perfect breasts was before them all. Her hands cupped her tits before sliding up to her nipples, fingers gliding over them teasing before rolling and tugging them. Her nipples quickly hardened as she played with them before everyone. The drum beat from the band began to pick up in pace with everyone else's increasing heartbeat and throbbing cocks. The dancer turned about and rolled her hips in a very suggestively forward and backward in increasing speed along with the beat. Her hands slid down to squeeze her gorgeous ass as she looked back over her shoulder to them with another small smirk. Her left hand left her ass to grasp the stage pole beside her. Leaning away, she spun around the pole before facing it and grasping with her other hand. She tossed her head back with eyes closed as her hips sensually humped towards the pole like her lover. What a man wouldn't give to be that pole right then! When her smooth pussy finally touched the cold metal of the pole, she spun around to press her back against it. Sliding slowly downward, the dancer dropped into a low crouch with her legs spread wide apart for all to see. Raising her hips forward and up, her right hand slid down her belly to give a teasing rub of her cunt as if she were going to masturbate right there in front of her audience. THUD!!!!! A few guys chuckled and whispered about a young warrior that had just caused the racket. Also the fact was that the volcano had exploded and the kid had the mother of all nosebleeds! The dancer kept on without notice as she rose to her feet with her hand seductively dancing up her perfect body. That hand finally reached up to run through her hair again as the band's song drew to an end. With a teasing wink, the dancer turned around to pick up her clothing and walk towards the back of the stage, ass swaying the whole way. The whole room erupted into applause and whistles. ****************** Blaze groaned and rose to his knees while pulling out his handkerchief. He pressed the dark cloth to his bloody nose as he stumbled to his feet and leaned back against the wall. Who was that dancer?! Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined such a woman. He glanced about to see Big Papa with a big shit-eating grin directed towards him before given him a thumbs up. Blaze nodded with a woozy grin of his own and gave a thumbs up return. He moved forward to lift the toppled chair back in place with an embarrassed feeling now. The sound of soft footfalls reached his ears and made him look up towards the source. What he saw made him freeze instantly. It was her! She was dressed the same as when she first appeared and was making her way through the tables in a path that would bring her right by him. Staring in astonishment, Blaze watched her long beautiful hair sway gently with her movements as she walked towards him. A shiver ran up his spine as she stopped right next to him. Those intense emerald eyes glanced to him for a moment. Blaze blinked and suddenly realized he was holding the bloody cloth to his nose still. Oh no! Not in front of this goddess, damn it! Her eyes gazed into his as if searching his very soul before turning down slightly to regard the bloody hanky. Those soft vanilla lips curved up as she gave him a small smile and wink before she continued on right past him. The young warrior stood there swaying as if the Frisky Mare's bouncer had socked it to him. What a woman! In a daze, he watched her walk all the way over to the stairs before stepping out of sight as she climbed them. Taking the chair, he had to sit and put his head down into his trembling hands until his breath returned to him. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath but those green eyes stared into his still even while closed. Feeling a hand suddenly on his shoulder, he looked up to see Big Papa's grinning face as he pressed a key into Blaze's hand. "You look pretty tired, kiddo. It's been an eventful night for you to be sure. Room three on the second floor is the one I booked you under. Go get some rest. Just remember my warning, alright?" Standing with a nod, Blaze took to older man's hand and shook it. "I sure will and thank you for your hospitality. Good night." Big Papa laughed with a nod and bid Blaze a good night. Blaze made his way over towards those very stairs she climbed and made his way up as well. The air about him was filled with the hint of her heavenly scent. Before he even realized it, he had opened the door to his room, closed the door and locked it behind him. The room was fairly big with a large bed, chests with drawers present. There was nice big bathtub and wash area in the corner. Setting his things down beside the bed, he quickly removed all clothing except his breeches before jumping into the bed. Damn this bed felt great! Closing his eyes, he quickly fell into a deep sleep filled with passionate dreams of the exotic dancer. Nothing would wake him from those fantasies in his dreams, not even the scream of a man in the same building later in the dark of night..... ****************** Most of the next morning was occupied with asking questions about the mysterious rash of deaths from many people of Aidan who knew some of the victims. Blaze soon found out that the best sources of information were the guards on patrol. They knew every detail of the circumstances surrounding all of the deaths through their own investigations. There were still no leads or even a clue as to who or what was killing of these males. The only common factor was finding them naked and grinning like madmen. "Hear me out, buddy. You shouldn't go sticking your nose about in this business unless you want to end up like those other corpses," Captain Barret of the guard said. The man with grey beard and many years of public servitude glared down the street towards the south city gate. "The last thing we need is another pointless death to add to an already long list." Blaze shook his head as he kicked at the dirt, "I appreciated your concern, sir. I will be cautious but I want to find out the cause of the deaths and bring peace of mind to the souls lost" Captain Barret turned that glare upon him now with a disapproving look. Even though it seemed impossible, the man's frown deepened further. "We see guys like you all the time. Supposed heroes in search of adventure and danger around every corner. Most end up dead before they realize it!" Blaze returned the glare. "While that may be true, this is my dream as it was those people. Even though they died, at least they were living their dreams! Would you deny someone like me that opportunity?" The captain sighed and took a moment thinking Blaze's words over before he shook his head, "All right, young man. The first death was located over by the stream under the grove of tamaracks. They grow just a mile southwest of the city. Just you remember that I warned you. I won't be having your death weighing on my conscience. If you find anything of importance, though, you make straight for me or one of my guards. Got it?" Blaze couldn't help but grin as shook the man's hand gratefully. "Thank you and I will make sure to do that. Good day to you, Captain!" He didn't wait moment longer before walking towards the gate on the south side of Aidan. Moving at a quick pace, he turned off the path once he exited the south gate towards the southwest. It took him quite some time to find the place in the heavily wooded area. He finally heard the gurgling of flowing water in a stream. Following that sound, he came upon the stream that had a number of large tamarack trees near the bank. It was quite the site with beams of sunlight shining through the forest canopy to light areas of lush greenery. Obviously a nice place for romance, he noted. Blaze crouched down near the base of one tree to carefully study the grass and dirt. It looked like he was right as he saw plenty of evidence of different people resting here and even some broad areas of bent grass where some had even had picnics out here. Over the next hour he searched in frustration for any clue or hint of the recent murder. He searched in the shallow stream for any discarded murder weapon or other physical evidence. The opposite bank was scoured by his eyes for any suspicious footprints, broken tree limbs of a rushed getaway, or disturbance on the ground for signs of struggle. In the end, he could find nothing! Blazing Glory Ch. 01 Sitting down and resting his back against a tree trunk, he sighed in defeat. This didn't make sense. These guys just came out here before stripping themselves naked, laying down and simply die? It didn't make sense. Rubbing his temples from the growing headache he was getting, Blaze sat there relaxing while pondering it over. "Stay the hell away from me you bastards!" His head snapped up in surprise as he heard the shout from nearby. It was soon followed by a high pitched scream that made him cringe. Leaping up to his feet quickly, Blaze ran towards the sound of trouble as fast as his legs could carry him. He damn near broke his neck as he slipped on a moss-covered rock at one point but continued to bound forward. As he grew closer to the shouting voices, he quickly slowed down and drew down into a crouch. He should attack with surprise rather than all out attack in a brave, but fatally stupid rescue attempt. As Blaze crept forward, he peered over the bush in front of him and saw the situation clearly. He was quickly in shock. It was her! The exotic dancer from the night before was there with the same clothing except she now also wore a black choker about her slender neck. Over her sleeveless vest she wore an open black leather jacket with long sleeves and the collar raised to stand upright. Damn she looked so sexy! Shaking his head clear, Blaze then noted she was surrounded by four men. The looked oddly familiar. The image came to him quickly as he remembered these four sitting at the table next to him last night! They were slowly closing in on her with lecherous grins and rubbing their crotches. "No need to scream sweety. We just want to sample the goods you advertised to us last night. I wouldn't mind having those pretty little lips around my cock," chuckled one man with a crooked nose. The biggest of all them might as well be a damn tree trunk himself as he laughed at his companion, "You can have her mouth for all I care. I just was to fuck the hell out of that sweet ass of hers!" The look of sheer terror on her face made his blood boil. Blaze could never recall a moment in his life to that point when he had ever been that pissed off. He would die before they tried to rape her! His hand quickly reached back towards one of his swords to attack with. His hand only made it halfway before what happened next absolutely confounded him. As quick as lightning strikes from the storm, her demeanor changed. Those soft vanilla lips turned up into a very wicked smirk. She even laughed softly to herself. Her four assailants experienced the same reaction as Blaze and stopped advancing. Reaching up with a slender hand, she brushed her soft bangs away from those green eyes as she looked at the men. "My, my. Aren't we such big brave men assaulting a little lady like me. Whatever am I to do?" The man with a scar down across his eye shook off his surprise finally and advanced towards her, "You're going to shut up and getting the fucking you deserve you damn cock tease!" The dancer simply laughed as that very raised arm dropped to her side. "You're all fools!" Unfortunately for the attackers, they did not see as Blaze did the long blood red whip that dropped out of her coat sleeve. Her hand seized the whip handle. In a flash she had spun herself around. The rest of the whip followed just as quickly in a wide circle before filling the air with a deafening crack. The sharp crack caused Blaze to winced and close his eyes for one moment. When his eyes opened again, he couldn't believe what he saw. In an almost graceful slow motion before his eyes, four human heads sailed upwards into the air in a rolling motion. The heads were soon follow by great fountains of blood spewing upwards from the headless shoulders. The forest around them wasn't so green anymore as the surrounding vegetation was sprayed with red blood. Both bodies and the still grinning heads fell to the ground with sickening thuds. The brutal efficiency and swiftness of the slayings surprised him. The dancer cracked her whip again to flick the blood coating it away. She shook her head in disgust as she coiled the whip at her hips and her wings flapped gently. What the fu-!? Wings? His jaw swayed gently to and fro as it hung wide open from what he saw. Bat-like wings that were black as night spread out from her lower back. Another pair of smaller bat-like wings, red as blood, donned each side of her head like a crest. He couldn't believe it! No wonder this woman was this very vision of his dreams and that of every man to see her. No wonder why she was pure seductive perfection in movement and looks. Succubus! ****************** Kendra Tansanee sighed in plain disgust down at the four corpses surrounding her in the forest clearing. These idiots had never had a chance against her. Men! Always thinking with the damn head between their legs. But then again, that was the very reason she had come to Aidan. Plenty of thoroughfare travelers to satisfy her sexual cravings and their life energy to live upon. Aidan was just big enough for plenty of prey to live upon but small enough to where the government of Quinlan wouldn't be concerned about it. Just a killer amongst the rabble of this small outlying city to them for all they cared. Kendra smirked and licked her delicate lips as she remembered the fun she had experienced last night. She always enjoyed dancing at the Frisky Mare, truthfully. Getting lost in the rhythm of the songs and shedding her clothes in a dance of pure seduction that no other race could match. All the lust that emanated from the room with those hungry eyes excited her to the point of climax many times. Then there was always one of the audience to get 'lucky' with the most famous dancer in all of Aidan. Kendra always loved a good fucking after an exhilarating dance. The poor fools had the best lay of their lives until she took the life energy she needed from them. Big Papa had been kind of enough to give her a room at his establishment for free and protect her as best he could. Her long soft hair swayed gently as she shook her head. Apparently his protection could only go so far as these dead men found her on one of her strolls in the woods. Their mistake. The city guard would be in an uproar about this mess now. Maybe she had better lay low for a few days now, she thought. Muttering a curse at these bastards for causing her trouble in the near future, she turned to go. With a startled cry, the succubus was yanked from her feet by a mass a vines she had been unaware of creeping up from behind. Other vines quickly lashed out to restrict her movements as they wrapped about her limbs and wings in a powerful hold. "What the hell!?" she cried as she found herself suddenly ten feet above the ground and facing a tree. All of the vines were coming from this one tree. The bark along the tree suddenly opened into a large glaring eye. Two thick vines whipped up to her hips and firmly yanked them halfway down her legs. Her smooth pussy and tight brown ass was now exposed to the hot afternoon air. Blinking in startlement, Kendra looked to the tree again only to see a hard two-foot long cock extending outwards and was as thick as her damn leg. "You filthy piece of shit!" she yelled at it. She had thought it was going to try and devour her, but obviously it wanted some fun first. She could kill the tree by fucking it and taking all of its life energy in the process, but that damn big cock looked like it would hurt like hell. Not to mention the splinters! That very thought entering into her mind made her eyes pop wide open in fear. Kendra began to struggle as much as she could, managing to break a few vines to. But there were always two vines ready to replace the one she broke. The two thick vines darted between her legs and rubbed themselves against her pussy, causing the succubus to moan slightly. Her fighting weakened slightly as she felt her cunt start to get wet from the vines. Still she struggled as the vines lowered her farther and farther down to that monstrous tree-cock. Her eyes opened wide with another low moan when she felt one of those green vines slide suddenly against her clit. She tried to flap her black wings but they felt as if chained in steel. SNAP! Kendra's green eyes opened as she felt herself falling now towards the ground as the sound of more snapping vines filled the air. She cringed for the harsh impact of the forest floor beneath. She felt the strong arms of someone else catch her instead. That arm then wrapped about her lower back to balance her to her feet. Opening her eyes, she looked up to the face of a man that was staring defiantly towards the tree monster. For some damn reason, he looked familiar to her. She gasped as she was suddenly dropped on her ass. Well she never! He's asking for it now. Rubbing her ass before pulling her pants above her naked rear, she shot the man a dark look. That look quickly disappeared as she saw the vines holding the struggling man up in the air. That ugly eye glared at him angrily. It was pissed of being deprived of a good forceful fuck. Why the hell was he risking his life for her? Didn't he know what she was? It didn't look like he was likely to find out as more vines encased his body. She could see he was in obvious pain as those vines slowly started to crush every bone in his body. She wondered if she should help this man for a moment. Why should she? He had obviously jumped in without thought of consequences and found himself way over his head. His problem, not hers. His legs were kicking about, but she saw now he was kicking at his right heel persistently. His raised boot finally flew off, leaving a small knife sliding out of the opening into the air. Before it dropped to the ground, the man lashed out with his left boot to kick the knife. Kendra could only watch in utter disbelief as the knife spun in its flight towards the tree. The tree monster looked just as surprised right before the blade of the knife blade sunk deeply into its eye. Either this man was a masterful fighter or the luckiest dumbass she'd ever seen! The tree shook suddenly in silent, terrible pain at the hot pain searing through it from the knife. "Look out!" a yell startled her. She looked up just in time to see the warrior hurtling toward her with eyes wide and hollering. BAM!!! ****************** Blaze groaned from the pain in his head. His head lay on something warm and soft. Was he home lying in bed, head in pillow? Had the crazy journey really been just a dream? He wouldn't be surprised. There was no way a woman that beautiful could truly exist. Opening his eyes, he found himself looking right at the succubus. No dream then! She was rubbing her head and glaring at him with one delicate brow raised. He glanced about taking in their situation after the tree had tossed him away in its blinding pain. They were a good distance away on the ground after the impact had sent them both flying away. Warm and soft? What in this forest could possibly be like that? As thoughts came together, he saw the reason behind her glare. This was no pillow! He jumped backwards in surprise, "Oh shit! I am so sorry. Believe me I was not trying to sneak a feel, please!" He stumbled further backwards. This succubus was going to kill him for sure after being on her big firm tit like that. Blaze cringed as she began to move, waiting for that quick death she seemed quite apt to dish out. Blaze remained tense as the succubus slowly (and sensually as always) rose to her feet. Those green eyes gazed into his searchingly while she remained silent a few moments. The succubus then smiled slightly at him as she said, "I know you now! You're the man who dropped out of his chair last night!" Blaze could only gape at her in shock and total humiliation as she chuckled softly, "Well, I thank you for.... 'saving' me from that monster. I guess I owe you one now." He finally regained his composure. "I can understand the need for those stalkers to be killed before they did anything to you, but you're the one behind all the other needless murders aren't you?" he said angrily as he reached for his sword now. She regarded him still with an amused smile and folded her arms beneath her large breasts. "No need to guess there, right? Yes, you are correct on one part. I am responsible for their deaths. But you're wrong in how they were needless! You know what I am. A succubus needs the sex to survive. To draw life energy into herself to exist and not wither away till death comes. I needed them to live myself. Besides, they seemed not to care after the good fucking I gave them." She winked and dropped an arm so her hand could rest upon that shapely hip. "So, do I get to know the name of my hero or not?" "The name is Blaze." "Well then, Blaze, pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm Kendra Tansanee. Now before you try to do anything, let me suggest something to you." "Go ahead, then." Her amused smile grew a little more and she glanced back in the direction of Aidan through the woods. "You come along with me back to the Frisky Mare and there we will discuss this little messy situation we find ourselves in and resolve it," she said before looking back to him with a glare that froze his breathing, "But if I even hear a whisper or even the beginning of you trying to tell anyone what I am, I'll kill you. I can easily fly away quickly while leaving you as a bloodstain for the guards to wipe up. Or, if you choose, I can kill you right now if you don't want to come along." The image of him with his head sailing off his shoulders flashed through his mind before he nodded that he would go back with her. He sighed while letting go of his blade hilt, not sure of how to get out of this sticky trouble. Her wings now folded up and disappeared to leave the gorgeous human woman standing there now. Kendra smirked a little before turning to walk back to the village with a sour-mooded warrior in tow. Little did he know how 'sticky' this mess would truly become...... ****************** True to his word, Blaze did not cause any trouble as they entered the city with the sun setting behind them. He made sure to not even make a peep of a sound so as not to set her off. Besides, he couldn't speak if he wanted to. The gentle sway of her long hair and the swing of that shapely ass as she walked was like the flute to the cobra. And the cobra was wide awake in his pants and hypnotized indeed! As they walked through the darkening streets of the city, he was amazed at how many catcalls and whistles that came their way. A few even called him the fucking luckiest bastard in the world to get some of that ass. Little did they now how unlucky his situation was or if they did, they wouldn't be hooting and hollering so much at the woman. The comments seemed to run off Kendra like water on a beaver's back. She paid no attention to anyone or thing except moving towards the Frisky Mare. She simply walked on. Simply? What the hell was he thinking? Even Kendra's walk had a seducing quality to it. The succubus was a walking aphrodisiac to every male and even many a female. After what seemed a blissful eternity of watching those cheeks rolling about, they finally reached the Frisky Mare and made their way inside. Blaze didn't miss the envious glance the bouncer gave him before they entered. Big Papa came up to Kendra with a broad smile and gave her a big fatherly hug. "Kendra, I was getting a bit worried about you. You're not gone so long normally. You like making an old man like myself worry don't you?" Surprisingly to Blaze, he saw Kendra give a small smile in return and hugged the man back. "Of course not! I just went outside the city limits for a walk in the woods. I needed some fresh air is all." "I see you've met one of our newest customers, Kendra. I believe he was quite taken with your dance last night," he said with a chuckle. Kendra glanced back to Blaze with a thoughtful look before she gestured to him with her arm. "Actually, if not for Blaze, I wouldn't be here safe and sound as I am now. Four customers from last night found me out in the woods today. They were going to rape me and more than likely kill me. But Blaze happened to be in the area and came just in time to save me. He killed those horrible men before they could even touch me." Big Papa's eyes were wide at this point in shock before looking to him gratefully. So grateful, you'd think Blaze had saved this man's very own baby girl from a terrible death. A wave of guilt washed over him. He hadn't killed those men or saved her. Kendra killed them easily and saved herself. He couldn't take credit for something he didn't do. It just wasn't right. He opened his mouth to tell the man otherwise when he saw Kendra give him a dangerous look and a small shake of her head. Blaze swallowed what he was about to say before nodding in affirmation with a forced smile. Silently he was praying his head was still firmly attached to the rest of him. The old man beamed at him and clapped him on the shoulder with a big meaty hand. "I knew you were a good lad! I can never repay you for what you've done for us, but at least let me say you can stay and eat here as long as you like, whenever you like!" Big Papa said with a joyful laugh. "You're too kind, but thank you sir," Blaze said and respectfully bowed to the tavern owner. When he rose, he saw Kendra give an approving nod before she made her way over to the stairs leading to the next floor above. "Well, I'm exhausted and going to go rest for the remainder of the night. Good eve' to you," he said to Big Papa. The old man said his partings as well before Blaze turned to quickly catch up with Kendra. He didn't want her to think he was babbling about her secret. Climbing the stairs, he reached the second floor quickly, but Kendra was nowhere to be seen in the narrow hallway. Arms of steel suddenly grabbed him and pushed him firmly against the door to his own room. Gasping for breath as he felt the strong arms press forcefully on his chest. Opening his eyes, all he could see was green eyes mere inches from his. "Now listen to me clearly, Blaze. So far this little arrangement has worked out well so far for both of us. I have a dance to do tonight. Get yourself some food and rest in your room until I am finished. I will tell you when we can meet to discuss what will happen next. But until then, don't you dare run to any guards and think screaming out what I am in the middle of my dance. Nothing will save you from me if you do. Am I clear?" Even though he felt like he was encased in iron, he managed to nod that he understood. "Don't worry. I wouldn't wish to destroy the old man's heart by revealing to him what you are. You seem to like him a bit as well. It wouldn't be right to destroy what you have." Those steely green eyes softened a bit as did her powerful grip on him. Those vanilla tiers then raised slightly in a small, genuine smile to him. She leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek that sent wonderful shivers rolling down his spine. If only his lips had been where that cheek was! She pulled back as her arms let him go. She regarded him for a few moments before she said, "I don't say this really that much to begin with, but..... thank you." And with those words, she quickly turned and hurried down the stairs to get ready for her dance. He stared after her for a few minutes as he thought about all that had happened today. A strange, scary, and wonderful day all in one. With a sigh, he opened the door into his room and await what the Fates had in store for Richard Thorburn and the succubus Kendra. ****************** Just a little over an hour later, Kendra slid into the soothing hot waters of the bathtub in her room. Big Papa had been really kind to go out of his way to give her something to relax in after dancing as much as she did. It was exquisite for a small city such as Aidan. The tub was inlaid into the marble surrounding it with a series of dainty steps leading up to the tub for ease of stepping in. It must of cost him a fortune, but he insisted that he had plenty of money still. It was his way of thanking her. Blazing Glory Ch. 01 She took a breath and dipped herself beneath the water for a few moments before rising again. Her thoughts turned to this young warrior now as she propped her feet up on the rim of the tub. Relaxing her back against the other side of the tub, she brushed wet locks of her bright hair away from her eyes. This Blaze didn't seem like too bad a fellow. Most men she had met were always chauvinist pigs only interested in a quick fuck for their own gratification. That was why she had no problem killing such scum. But there was something different about Blaze she couldn't quite figure out. He had surprised her in his own little ways numerous times. First of all, the fact he acted to save a succubus was in itself unheard of. He could just as easily sat back and whacked off to the show. Then with him laying on her tit like he did, he pulled away quickly and apologized rather than start groping. And lastly, he understood the father-daughter like relationship that she and the tavern owner had formed and gave his word to not threaten it. A respectful man? An honorable man? Never could she think one could have ever existed or ever would. But perhaps... There was a small knock at the door at the door that brought her out of the sea of thoughts. Looks like the waitress had told Blaze she was ready to see him as she had requested. "Come in, Blaze!" The door opened and the young man stepped inside before closing the door silently behind him. He was a cute man to be sure. She then noticed his face was suddenly turning a bit red as he looked at her in shock. But why? Blinking her eyes, she looked back to herself to see if something was wrong. With her feet up on the rim, her long tanned legs were clearly visible. Her wet hair draped about her face still framing her beautiful features. Her full breasts rose like islands above the water, firm and glistening softly in the candlelight with wetness. BANG!!!! Looking back to Blaze, she saw him sitting back against the door quite passed out with another big nosebleed. Her lips quirked into a smirk. Guess she did present a rather intense sexual scene to the poor man. She couldn't help but chuckle darkly. She'd made up her mind now. This was going to be fun..... ****************** Blaze slowly opened his eyes and looked about. He remembered the glorious sight he beheld of Kendra before suddenly passing out from the loss of blood from his brain. Upon sight of her, all blood either went out his nose or straight to the biggest hardon he'd ever had in his life. A man could only lose so much blood, but damn what a woman! He looked about his surroundings and found himself lying on a large bed. "Glad to see you've finally come to, Blaze." He looked up to see her over by the window. Kendra looked at him with that smirk of hers as she sat upon the windowsill. She wore a simple, creamy nightgown of very thin material. It was low cut to show ample cleavage and short enough on the bottom to ride up her shapely hips. Her hair swayed gently from the gentle breeze coming through the open window. The full moonlight created a breath-taking effect of light and shadows upon her already gorgeous physique. Blaze saw those bright green eyes something that both scared him and made his cock tent his trousers. Hunger. Soft lips still smirking, she rose from the windowsill. Kendra slowly walked towards the bed he lay upon with her hips swaying sexily more than ever. Oh shit, he was fucked! In both ways of the word! She had reached to foot of the bed and slowly crawled on it towards him. He saw her wings appear and unfold from her back, tearing through the nightgown, as well as her head. She was in full succubus form now. Fear for his life flashed through his mind. He pushed himself back away from her as she reached his legs. She must have seen the look of fear in his eyes as she revealed perfect white teeth in a sex-hungry smile to him. "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. I fed not too long ago. Time to get your reward for saving me, my strong hero!" Though still uncertain, her words made him feel better. Like it mattered if she was lying. Either get the greatest fuck of your life or get whipped into tiny pieces. Blaze chose the former. Kendra had now crawled over him and gazed down hungrily at him. She lowered her head quickly and pressed her lips against his hungrily. Fireworks exploded in his head! Bells thundered as this man had died and gone to heaven! His arms wrapped about her winged body and pulled her firmly against him as he returned the kiss. She groaned hungrily in approval. Their mouths opened simultaneously so their tongues met in a passionate dance. He literally melted in her mouth as her tongue caressed his. Melt in her mouth, he thought. He couldn't wait for her hands! Kendra broke the kiss to his frustration as she straddled his hips with her legs. She gazed down at him with green eyes beneath those vanilla locks and sexy smile. He couldn't resist any longer! Blaze sat up quickly as his right hand pushed up her night gown. Her tits popped out and bounced in their freedom before being captured by his mouth. His lips kissed and nipped her tit all over, eliciting lusty groans of approval above him. His mouth encompassed her rapidly hardening nipple and he sucked like a man starved for nourishment. His left hand was not to be left out as it fondled and squeezed her other brown mountain of softness. Kendra was pleased by his eager acceptance to commence their fucking. She gasped then as she felt his teeth clamp down on that nipple as he suckled. Another sensual groan escaped her as he teasingly tugged with his teeth while sucking on the sensitive bud. His hand on her other very sensitive tit was driving her to new heights with pleasure. Most men just mauled her tits, but Blaze was worshiping them instead. "Oh yes, suck on my tits! Oh fuck yes!" she growled as her back wings spread and she raised her arms over her head. He switched to her other breasts and gave the big jug equal treatment. Kendra just continued in a low moan as she let the pleasure wash through her. Blaze nipped at her nipple teasingly to draw a small gasp from the succubus before he suddenly felt himself pushed flat onto his back. He looked up to her, wondering what she was doing. He saw her hands moving with frantic lustful need as she grabbed the bottom of his shirt and forcefully pulled it over his head. Tossing it aside, her delicate hands worked expertly to undo his belt and trousers before they were tugged off to join his shirt wherever it was. She smirked wickedly down to him as she looked down at his naked form. Not bad, Kendra thought. He wasn't all big muscle like some dumb behemoths but lean and well-honed for speed and endurance. Her eyes locked hungrily on the fully erect cock standing straight up. She hummed in satisfaction. His cock looked to be right between seven and eight inches with a nice girth about it. He was above average of normal guys but not gigantic to the point of pain. Most idiots thought women enjoyed huge cocks, but those brainless dolts didn't realize that those sizes could hurt like hell instead giving pleasure. Blaze looked to be just the right long length for her. Humming in self-satisfaction, the succubus grabbed her nightgown she wore and ripped it away from her perfect body easily. Tossing the shredded rags away, Kendra kneeled between his spread legs and gazed yearningly at the hunk of man meat before her. Best take care of him now so he can last longer for later. Blaze watched her the whole time before his world suddenly turned white again. And he thought her lips on his felt wonderful? He had had no fucking clue! He groaned as his head felt back into the pillow as she teasingly kissed the head of his cock a few times. She dipped her head to run her soft tongue up the shaft in slow, repeated strokes. He heard her chuckled softly before she spat upon the head of his cock and rubbed the wetness up and down his shaft with her hand. Precum slowly began to ooze out the slit of that big cock. She dipped her tongue to slide across the top of that sensitive head and taste his sweetness. His hands gripped the sheets as the assault of her tongue on his cock as she now twirled it about the sensitive spongy head was driving him crazy. "Yes, damn! Please suck it baby! Fucking hell, suck my cock," he cried out. She could only smirk as she then took the cock into her mouth. He moaned his approval as she sucked the sensitive spot as her tongue teased and probed his slit. She then dipped her head forward and took more of that hard cock into her mouth. The suction she was giving was beyond incredible and forced loud groans from him. She bobbed her head up and down up him in sweet long sucking strokes as her eyes gazed up to him lustily. The intense pleasure he was now receiving and those green eyes he was starting to like more and more was just too much. "I'm gonna cum! Damn it Kendra here I fucking cuummm!!" he cried out as his erection jerked inside her mouth. She groaned and kept that cock in her mouth as sweet creamy cum erupted into her mouth and the back of her throat. She swallowed his seed hungrily as if it were the sweet nectar of the gods. Her eyes then opened wide as he kept giving her spurts of his thick cum. She gulped rapidly down his cum to keep up before he finally ended. Swallowing a good mouthful of his cum, she gazed at him wondering what other secrets he held other than cumming more than normal men do. Pulling her mouth off his cock with a loud, wet pop that filled the room. She was glad to see his cock was still raging hard and ready for more action. Oh how she loved youthful men and their stamina! Blaze laid there in the soft bed in a daze. Nothing in the world had ever felt so good as cumming into her mouth did. He laid there and listened to her swallow the rest of his cum noisily before she moved up him again. Gazing down at him with a confident smirk, she winked to him. "I see you loved that little bit of fun. Do I meet my hero's stamp of approval?" she said coyly. He looked up at her before he laughed, "More than you can ever imagine!" She crooned her appreciation of his satisfaction. "Well the best is yet to come, my dear Blaze. The main course is about to be served! Are you 'up' for it?" His eyes lit up as his arms suddenly seized her sides. She gave a spirited laugh as he rolled her onto her back. The succubus's wings spread out beneath to extend out past the edges of the bed as he positioned himself on top of her. They both held their breath as he placed the head of his hard and ready member at the entrance to her wet pussy. He pressed forward and soon both groaned in pleasure as the head popped into her tight cunt. Kendra moaned loudly as she felt that hard cock slide deeper into her cunt. "Ooooooh yes! .... That's it! Slide that big rod deeper!" Blaze wasn't about to disagree, but she was so tight that his cock was slowly but surely delving deeper into her hot cunt. Sweat beaded on his forehead as her cunt muscles worked him as he pushed forward into her tightness. He felt a slight resistance before pushing forward and past it until his hips were firmly pressed against hers. Kendra's eyes opened wide as his long cock pushed past her crevix and into her womb. "Fuck!... Yes!... Fuck me, now! Please dear pits of the Abyss FUCK ME NOW!!!" she cried as her legs wrapped about him. Blaze winced as he felt her nails dig into the flesh of his back, but he grinned nonetheless has he heard the succubus crying for more. And more he gave her! Sliding back to where the head almost came out of her wet pussy, he slammed that rod right back into her. He repeated this slow but hard thrusting repeatedly. Kendra gasped with every hard pounding thrust. She groaned loudly when she felt him start to pick up the tempo of his thrusts. He had only just started to fuck her tight pussy faster when she gasped and crooned long and sensually. "Oooooh fuuuck!!!" Her whole body tensed and locked him into her as she had a mind-blowing orgasm. Then it was his turn to gasp as Kendra's cunt spasmed all about his pounding cock until he could barely move. She was going to make him cum at this rate! Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes and tried to ride out her orgasm as best he could. When he felt her start to relax, he heard a lusty growl of satisfaction escape her lips. Opening his eyes, he saw Kendra laying there with her eyes closed and the biggest post-cum grin on her face. Her tongue ran sexily across her lips as she savored the feeling before her eyes darted open and looked right up at him. "MORE!!!!" she cried and literally threw him off her. Blaze was flat on his back before he knew it. Looking up, his eyes popped open wide as he saw the succubus crouched on her feet with the most voracious look on her face as she stared at him. He then realized he'd just given the starving lion its first bite of meat and it already wanted more. "You're mine! You're going to fuck me brainless with that glorious cock NOW!!!" The lioness roared in ravenous madness as she pounced her prey! Kendra landed squarely on him with her hands pinning his arms to the bed. She squatted over his hard cock staring readily right up towards her waiting cunt. The succubus lowered herself and slowly he entered her. She moaned softly and her eyes closed as she sank all the way down that steel hard cock. Blaze gazed in wonder at this perfect sexual demon sat straddling his cock in all her naked glory. He couldn't help but grunt in pleasure as the woman began to slowly rock her hips back and forth. His hands grasped her hips as she flapped her wings gently with her grind fucking with his hardness jerking inside her. Sweat was now covering her body with the sexual exertion, her tanned body glistening with the wetness. Kendra changed her movement to grind her hips into his with fast circular motions. She humped his cock for the next several minutes, eyes closed and panting deeply with passion. Kendra couldn't believe he was driving her this crazy with lust. Pleasure filled every single part of her and only continued to grow further as she experienced multiple small orgasms as she rode that big cock stuffing her tight pussy. She squeezed her sensitive big tits with her hands as waves of pleasure continued to wash through her. "Yeeesss! Oh fucking hell yesss!" she groaned fervently before she raised her wings and beat them up and down. Matching the rhythm, the succubus began to ride that cock up and down now with her hips. She no longer held back and screamed out her carnal pleasure as it drove in and out of her. She fucked herself upon him as hard and fast as she could. Her wings only helped to strengthen the hard riding as she lost herself in the mindless pleasure. The pleasure of her tight cunt squeezing him hungrily with every stroke was driving Blaze closer to the point of no return. The sight of her long hair swaying wildly about in her passion and those full breasts bobbing provocatively up and down with each bounce was beyond incredible. His hands reached up to fondle those huge, bouncing jugs. He felt himself responding and thrusting his cock as hard as he could up into her. She felt him matching her downward strokes with his upraising hips. Stars exploded before her eyes as she went through the roof. "Yes yes yes yes!!!! Fuck me you son of a bitch! FUCK MY DAMN BRAINS OUT! OH FUCK! YES! YES! YEEESSS!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. The loud wets slaps of their lustful motions filled the room along with her passionate screams. They were both in full sprint bodies meeting each other with wet resounding smacks as they fucked each other mutually as hard and fast as they could. Finally they both hit the breaking point (thankfully before the bed did). Kendra began thrashing about on his cock and simply filled the air with a wordless scream as her cunt flooded his hard pole with her hot juices. "OH FUCK!" Blaze cried out as her pussy milked his cock for all she was worth. There was no resisting this time and he was lost to the rip tide of her animalistic passion. "HERE I CUM KENDRA!" he roared as his cock dutifully erupted deeply inside her hot snatch. He held his hips up as he filled her sweet pussy full of cum. Kendra's closed eyes bolted wide open as she suddenly exploded into another mind-numbing orgasm. She leered sexily down at him as they both climaxed together. "That's it, Blaze! Fuck my cunt! Fill my pussy full of your cum you sweet fucking bastard!" she groaned as she shook in ecstacy. Finally, both their orgasms subsided to leave them both sweaty and exhausted. Kendra simply collapsed forward against his laying body, panting heavily. That was the best fuck she'd ever had. Then the thought occurred to her that they were going to go their separate ways tomorrow. No! There was no way she was letting this man leave her. He was hers now and hers alone. No man had ever driven her to such ecstasy in sex. The sex alone was wonderful enough to feed her without any need for life energy for weeks! He was her toy now whether he knew it or not. She wasn't going to let him go. Blaze meanwhile opened his eyes in surprise. He was still alive! She really had kept her word. He wondered if it had really been a dream that he had just fucked the most perfect woman on the continent senseless. He looked down to the sweaty succubus and she looked up to him with a fucked-me-good smirk. That answered that! "I suppose you already know Blaze is probably not my real name." After all, she had given him her real name and it was only fair she new his, even if she ended up killing him. He waited until she nodded to speak again. "Richard Thorburn is my name and I use to my alias to protect my family and home." She smiled slightly and nodded in understanding before he fell into in exhausted sleep. She rolled off of him and lay next to him for a while, gazing at his face. She would go wherever this adventurer would go. That thought drew a grin from her. This was going to be fun......... ****************** Red eyes stared out of the pitch black darkness, watching the orb that showed the young man and succubus fall asleep together. And interesting event that had never happened before. A strange man and a succubus that was slightly different than the others of her race as well. This could be a fun distraction from the plans that were being laid out. "My goddess Koas, I am here as you summoned." Those red eyes turned to regard the woman in the light by the door kneeling before her. Lexiss Makora, her personal avatar and assistant looked up to her goddess for whatever she wanted to do. Koas studied her assistant with appreciative eyes. "Lexiss, it is time for you to go to your task that I had planned for you. Make sure you do whatever they want to convince them to join me. And I mean anything. Am I clear, shadow mistress?" Those red eyes glared commandingly towards her. "Yes, as you command my goddess," the woman said before darkness engulfed her form. The shadows quickly retreated and Lexiss was no longer there. Those red eyes turned back to the orb. Toying with these two would be fun. All the while her plans had begun that would lead the world into what she craved the most. Glorious chaos!

Chapter 2 - Rapturous Song Blaze's eyes opened up to stare upward at the wood ceiling. The bright light of the morning sun beamed through the open window with the air full of the happy chirping of birds. Damn birds were what woke him up! But that wasn't the only factor in his arousal from sleep. Something didn't feel right as he lay there. There was a pressure against his left side and on top of his chest. It was warm too! Raising his head, Blaze glanced down to see a woman there sleeping soundly with her head resting on his chest. Oddly enough, her arms seemed wrapped around him almost possessively. What the hell? Then it all came rushing back to him. The bloody and violent meeting in the forest. The trip following her back to Aidan. He walked in on her taking a bath. The night together having the most intense sex he swore any mortal could only dream to have. She was a succubus. She was Kendra Tansanee. As he recalled the whole passionate experience, he was thankful to still be alive. He had never heard of a trustworthy demon, but he felt that he could trust her for some odd reason. His thoughts turned to what was next and it wasn't pleasant to think about. He was going to have to leave her. He had his adventure still waiting and she had her place here with Big Papa. She had settled here to survive. There was no way she would give that up to come along with him. For some odd reason, that very thought pained him. What the hell was wrong with him? Why did he want to be accompanied by a demon? Why did he care for a woman he barely knew? He sighed when he realized that he just did. Simple as that. The rise of his chest as he sighed caused Kendra to stir. Blaze watched her awaken and rub her eyes before those breath-taking emeralds looked up to him. Soft vanilla-colored lips curved upwards as she smiled to him. Her slender brown hand reached up to brush some hair away from her eyes as she slowly rose to sit beside him. "Well good morning, my young stallion," she said still smiling, "I trust you enjoyed our endeavor last night?" He groaned as he sat up and laughed to her, "Simply 'enjoyed' would be the understatement of the Ages!" That made her smile all the more as her hand on his leg slid up to his crotch and gave his cock a soft squeeze. "Good. It was wonderful for me too. There will be more from where that came from in the near future, Richard," She said with such a hungered look in her eyes that his cock jumped in her hand in agreement. She gave him a sly smile before leaning forward to kiss his cheek softly. "You can stay here as long as you wish to and fuck me as much as you want, Richard." He suddenly felt uncomfortable, but it had to be brought up. "About that Kendra," he said slowly at first, "I..... can't stay here with you forever. Believe me, I would absolutely love to! But I'm on a personal quest to find adventure and besides, my mother would worry herself gray if I disappeared without ever returning." Blaze swallowed as he finished speaking. As he had said those words, he had watched her small smile slowly fade away into nothingness. She now regarded him silently and coolly. He cursed himself for putting himself in a dangerous situation. He cursed himself more in fear of having hurt her. Kendra suddenly shook her head as she looked away silently. She finally spoke after a few uncomfortable seconds. "You can do whatever you please, Blaze. I will do the same. However, I suggest you give yourself a little more time to think it over. We can talk more about this later, but I have some errands I need to attend to for the Frisky Mare," she said as she slid smoothly off the bed. Landing lightly on her bare feet, Blaze couldn't help but find himself gazing dreamily as her naked body. Absolute perfection! He watched her dress herself into her leather clothing she had worn yesterday. Sliding her arm through the sleeve of her leather jacket, Kendra looked back to him thoughtfully. That small smile returned. She walked around the bed to him and leaned down to kiss him fully on the lips. From the lips, the shocking electricity spread through the rest of him. He kissed her soft lips in return. The kiss seemed to last a blissful eternity when, in actuality, it was just a few seconds before she broke it. Leaning back away from him, she hummed softly in satisfaction. Kendra gave him a wink before turning to leave. He watched her close the door behind her as he touched his lip. Damn that woman could very persuasive! ******************* Blaze sighed as he walked down the main market street of Aidan. His pack was full of supplies for his journey. The weight in his pack though contradicted the lightness of the money pouch at his hip. This city didn't sell cheap! Most of these supplies combined had cost him a few gold, some silver, and plenty of copper coins. If he was going to keep at this hero business, he'd better find something resulting in a big reward soon or he'd be a penniless, starving adventurer! He stopped in front of a stand that sold a variety of fresh and dried fruits. His thoughts turned to Kendra again as it had many times already. It always led to the same result in his mind. He couldn't make up his damn mind! His dream of adventuring on one hand or the most beautiful woman in the entire world wanting him to stay. Giving up either was going to be extremely difficult no matter how you cut it. What the hell was he to do? Grumbling to himself, he handed some copper coins to the grinning merchant for some dried apricots and apple slices. He prayed silently to whatever good there was in the world that he could have both. A fool's hope, but hope nonetheless. Maybe he could ask her to come along. He knew she would have her reservations, but maybe he could still convince her. Hope grew more inside him as he thought about such. Feeling much more cheerful, he handed a few more coins to the merchant before grabbing a fresh green apple. Humming to himself, he turned away from the stand to leave but stopped before he could take another step. Sitting against the wall of the alley right by the stand was an old man. The old man looked to be in pretty rough shape. He wore rags that looked like they might as well be a shredded potato sack. He was bone-thin with his shaggy white hair and beard filthy with dirt and soot. He just sat there as if he was simply waiting to die. Frowning to himself, Blaze looked down to the apple he was about bite into. He shook his head and walked over to the old beggar. "Hey, old man," he said kneeling before the beggar, "Here. Have this." He gave the apple a small toss and was surprised by the old man snatching it right out of midair instantly. Weary blue eyes looked up to regard him silently before a tired smile crept up that wrinkly face. "Bless you, young man," the old man said before taking a bite out of the apple. He leaned back and obviously relished the sweet taste of the apple. Swallowing that treasured nourishment, the beggar's smile grew more as he looked up to Blaze. "It's good to see there are good men in this world still. They say the ideals of chivalry and honor are long since dead. I laugh at that now for I see it burning in your eyes." Those words took Blaze by surprise and he couldn't help but laugh a little. He shook his head. "I am honored that you think so, but I am not such a man truly. I have my own faults and dark side. I'm not so perfect as you make it seem." "Ahh... A bit of humbleness as well?" the old man said with a knowing smile before glancing to the road, "I feel I need to repay you for your act of kindness, but I don't have much as you can see. Perhaps a bit of advice?" Blaze simply nodded, not wanting to offend the old man by objecting. The beggar looked back to him, "These old ears hear much from passing travelers while I sit here. Lately, there seems to be a lot of talk about one thing in general. Stay away from the Sonel Sea. You look to be on a journey of sorts. So I tell you to stay away from the epidemic." All the blood suddenly drained from his face as the old man's words sunk in. Sonel Sea? Kyros! His heart just about froze in his chest. Before panic could set in, he took a few deep breaths before he could speak again. "Do you know exactly what towns this plague has supposedly hit?" The old man nodded in admission, "That I do. It's spreading northward along the coastline. I heard the latest to have come down with this plague is the fishing village of Kiran." Blaze had to bite his lower lip hard as the panic almost completely seized him. Kiran was two towns south of his hometown! He wiped his brow from the cold sweat he had now. "Any other details about this, sir?" "Actually, yes there is. This is the oddest thing I've heard about it. One man who had nearly entered a cursed village saw a strange sight. All the villagers lay about in the open streets dead as you would expect, but they were all naked as the day they were born! He also said he saw many bodies along the beach with more floating just offshore. The waters are forever blighted there as the waves were red with the blood of the dead." All right, Blaze thought, PANIC! He could visualize the carnage of his home as the old man had described it in detail. He had to leave and now! He had to sprint home and warn everyone. Most importantly, he had to get his mother the hell away from there! Quickly dipping his hand into his money pouch, Blaze pulled out five gold coins. He grabbed the old man's hand and pressed the coins it. "Thank you, sir. You have no idea what you've just done for me. This is not nearly enough to repay you for it, but I hope it helps you. Take care!" With that, the young warrior was off in a flash as fast as his feet could carry him. The old man stared after him for some time before hopping to his feet like an energetic teen in his younger years. He wore a grim expression as a shadowed figure appeared behind him in the alleyway. "Are you sure he is the one, my master?" the figure spoke softly. The old man nodded before smiling broadly. "I am sure of it. True as he said that he has faults, but who doesn't? He's a good man at heart. He is the one prophecy foretold would be the key in the battle to come." "I trust you, master, on this then. But is it wise to let him be in the company of such a dangerous demoness as the succubus? She could bring everything to ruin." "No, she won't. You don't know that, while similar in some characteristics, she's different from the rest of her kind," he said. The figure sighed softly as if having trouble understanding how such a thing could be. "And what of this trouble along the coast? Should we have guided him down that path?" The old man laughed and turned to the shadowy figure with a confident smile, "You worry too much. Sure enough there is danger down that path. He'll face more in the time to come. It's out of our hands for now anyway. This 'epidemic' does concern me though. Innocent people are dying. The air is being filled with fear. This has to be her doing." The shadowy figure nodded in agreement with the frowning man. That frown quickly disappeared to be replaced by that hearty smile again. "Let's go home for now, shall we?" Both figures stepped into the darkness of the buildings to disappear with no one to know any better. By this time, Blaze was already moving up the stairs in front of the Frisky Mare two steps at a time. He remembered that Kendra told him that she would be running around today. So he didn't bother to run inside and bolt into her room. It was more than likely empty. Instead, he stopped next to the familiar bouncer next to the door. "Has Kendra arrived back here yet?" he asked while gasping for breath. "Nah she hasn't," the man said before looking at him suspiciously, "Why? Is something seriously wrong?" He silently cursed to himself. He really had been hoping she'd be there still. "Yes, but not with her. There's this epidemic spreading up along the coast towards my hometown. I have to go there quickly to warn and help everyone there. That means I have to leave Aidan today." The bouncer looked him over with an understanding gaze, "You're a braver man than I am. No way would I go anywhere near a plague-infected village." "Can you give Kendra a message for me then?" Blaze asked. When the bouncer nodded, "Great! I really appreciate it. Please tell her what's going on and the danger to my home. Also tell her I will try to return when I can." She was going to be pissed at him for sure. He could see it now. Walking into her room with open arms and smile an instant before he's whipped into a bloodstain on the opposite wall. Though he feared that would be how she would react, he doubted she'd be like that for some reason. "Got it. You be careful out there. May the mighty Stavros watch over you and your home." He nodded in thanks for the blessing in invocation of one of the most powerful gods. Saying such could only be given with honest feelings behind it. Grasping the big man's hand, he shook it, "May the mighty Stavros watch over you and your home as well. Later!" Hurrying down the steps, Blaze set out for the west gate of Aidan and the road home. Although, he couldn't help but wring his wrist with a pained grimace. Damn bouncer was strong as hell! ******************* Kendra frowned darkly as she left the Frisky Mare. He left! She had gotten the message alright and understood his plight. He could have waited for her to come back though. Ironically enough, she had come back not too long after. The bouncer had informed her as soon as she reached the door. She was shocked at first with the news that Richard was gone already. Shock turned to anger quickly until she learned the details of this supposed plague. That cooled her temper down some but not entirely. A small part of her worried that this was just some elaborate excuse just to get away from her. Apparently that hot kiss hadn't been enough to convince him if that was the case. She supposed she would have to tie him up and fuck him silly. She would send his male mind soaring to the heavens above with pleasure if that is what it took to convince him staying with her was a good thing. Kendra sighed as she mulled these thoughts over while walking to the city gates. The bouncer had told her Blaze took off towards the southwest. He also said the warrior was moving as if the hounds of the Abyss were biting at his heels. It was going to take some time to catch up with Blaze if that was true. She had stepped inside quickly to retrieve her beloved long red whip and to tell Big Papa she was going on a small trip for the next few days. Big Papa had seemed concerned about the suddenness of this news, but he didn't pry into why thankfully. Kendra came out of her thoughts as she realized she was now outside the massive gates to the city. In fact, she was standing in the very spot in the forest where she had met the young man for the first time. She smiled and spread her wings. With a jump into the air and flap of her wings, she glided towards the southwest. Her green eyes scanned the well-trodden road as she followed it. It turned out that she was right. It was taking some time to find him and she was getting frustrated at that. The man knew how to travel fast when given purpose! She remained strong in her resolve to find him. A nice little bonus of this trip was terrifying travelers below with the sight of a woman flying with bat-like wings. Their little screams from below amused her. After what seemed to be a few hours a flying, she saw a figure in the distance that was the first she had seen traveling away from Aidan. As she closed in, she chuckled to herself that it was the figure of a man jogging steadily. Her man! Agile like a hawk, she folded her wings in and dove towards her prey. At the last moment, her wings fanned out to slow the rapid decent as she pulled out of the dive. Amid the swirling dust, she landed right behind the man. Richard had stopped and was looking around in confusion. He turned around and she couldn't help but smirk at the expression on his face. Surprised he was until she saw mixing emotions of both joy and fear. She glared at him as she uncoiled her whip. "Whoa! Kendra wait! I can explain!" he yelled with his hands raised. She smirked darkly to him and lashed out with her whip at him. The hard leather wrapped about his neck tightly before he could speak another word. Kendra yanked him in one forceful pull until he stood right in front of her. She gazed coolly into his eyes for a moment before she chuckled softly to herself. "How could you, dear Richard. You left without even giving me a goodbye kiss" she growled to him before she kissed the shocked warrior full on the lips. She moaned into his mouth before she pulled away. Uncoiling the whip from his neck, she gave him a teasing wink. "Had you really scared there didn't I?" Blaze rubbed his neck with his hand now that he could breathe easier. He shook his head, "Honestly.... Yeah, I was scared out of my mind!" She simply smiled. She then gasped in surprise when his arms seized her and pulled her in for a deep passionate kiss of his own. She groaned softly as her soft vanilla lips eagerly returned the kiss with a few teasing nibbles on his lower lip. Ultimately the breathless succubus had to push him away. "Now what was that for?" she asked with a satisfied smile. Blaze just grinned. "So you came out here to drag me back to Aidan?" "Of course not. I'm coming with you. Life was getting a bit dull in Aidan. I loved the dancing of course, but tagging along with you sounds like fun," she said with a wry grin. Blaze could only shake his head as the succubus folded her wings from sight and was now just a woman walking along beside him home. ******************* In a land far west of the newfound couple, glowing red eyes like those of a hellhound watched them from afar. Across the large inlet of the Sonel Sea before once again seeing land that was Solomon. It belonged to those wretched elves. Across that land until the indomitable peaks of the Great Boaz Wall rose in their massive wall protecting the rest of the world from what lay beyond. That would be the vast expanse of smelly bogs, swamps, and dead deserts. Only the hardiest could survive these cruel environments and so the cruel did. Barak was the land in which all evil mortal races existed and waged war with each other. Further north, the single race of barbarian humans inhabited the rocky deserts with an iron fist. They too were held back from fertile lands by the great mountains. And finally, farther west to the greatest extent of the known world, volcanic ash and lava ruled the land of Nealon. Her land. Koas watched the beautiful chaos of the volcanoes from her temple. Chaos and utter destruction! How she loved it! Turning her gaze back from the only light source in the dark room, she gazed back to the orb. She was concerned that they were heading toward the seaside village. This could ruin her plans and also end up with her toys of amusement ending up dead sooner than she wanted. Her thoughts turned to her agent in the area. Perhaps there could be some fun while these two still lived. She had better warn her agent of them though. Blazing Glory Ch. 02 "Sonora Keeya," her resonated voice spoke to the orb commandingly, "Your Mistress wishes to hear your report." The orb went dark for a moment before it filled with a soft blue light like that of liquid. A pair of dreamy aquamarine eyes appeared in the orb and nothing else. Those eyes gazed up to their goddess with the utmost reverence as well as fearful respect. The voice which spoke was remarkably beautiful with a titillating quality to it, "Yes, Mistress Koas. Everything is going according as you wished. They have no idea what to do and the hills are overrun with fear as they flee." Koas hummed her pleasure at hearing this good news. "That is good to hear, my servant. I trust you are enjoying the work quite well?" "Oh yes, my mistress! I haven't had this much fun in such a very long time," Sonora said with a delighted laugh, "and I can't wait to move on to the next one. I was on my way there when you summoned me." "Which brings me to the very reason I am talking to you. Two amusing toys of mine are making their way towards one of the villages near you. One is a man that is quite cute. I think you would quite enjoy bedding him down. Be careful of his companion though. She is a demoness that could be very dangerous. Don't underestimate her, understood?" "Yes, Mistress Koas. Odd that a human should be accompanied by a demon. Do you want your toys to live through the experience?" The red eyes narrowed thoughtfully before Koas spoke, "I don't care what you do with them. If they end up dead, then a short distraction it turned out to be. Do with them as you wish. You may leave now and continue with your work." "As you command. May this everfaithful servant ask her goddess a question before I go?" "You may ask, child." The aquamarines gazed up to her curiously, "What is the name of this demoness? I know many demons and possibly could know her." "An odd question to ask, but I shall answer sweet servant of mine. Her name is Kendra Tansanee." Recognition lighted those eyes before they closed. Sonora chuckled softly before it grew until her laughter filled the air with cruelty and pure hatred. That hateful laughter slowly faded with the light from the orb before it darkened. The room was once again encased in darkness around a pleased goddess. Koas looked out her window once again as she wondered how Lexiss, her personal servant, was faring on her mission. ******************* Lexiss Makara muttered softly to herself in disgust. Here she was, in the middle of a smelly bog that reeked like a cesspool of shit and piss on her way to fulfill Koas's wishes. The shadow demon was remarkably beautiful in an exotic way. She was tall for a woman at five feet and nine inches in height. Her skin was oddly colored to be gray like that of light ash. Of all the time she spent in Nealon serving her mistress, one would think the land had turned her skin to such. But that was wrong, for grey was her natural skin tone that Koas had given her when she created Lexiss. Long, wavy black hair fell down her back and past her shapely ass. She wore a long one piece black dress that encompassed a sensual form from legs up until it ended right above full d-cup breasts. With slender shoulders and expanse of chest with cleavage exposed, she was an alluring sight to behold. The strangest feature of Lexiss was not that her eyes were purple in color, but that her pupils were slanted like that of a cat's eyes. She glanced about the bog now with those odd eyes searchingly. She knew she had to be close. Koas had given her the general area to shadow meld to. It was a quick easy way to travel. Melding and becoming one with the shadows themselves before moving through darkness to appear in shadows elsewhere. One feature Koas was quite self-satisfied with to further inflate her own ego. "Stop! Who the fuck are you?" a deep, growling voice demanded of her from the darkness. Lexis stopped and looked to where the voice came from. Out from behind the tree near in front of her stepped the large humanoid. It was an orc that towered over her with his beady little eyes. She had to restrain herself from covering her nose with her hand. The grey-green bastard stunk like he wallowed in that cesspool bog daily. He hefted his giant battle-axe in front of him as he leered over her luscious form. "Looks like I found us some evening entertainment and a nice meal!" the orc snorted with its pig-like snout. He seemed quite pleased with himself. An irritated Lexiss sighed and glared at the disgusting creature. Best to just get this over with. "I'm here to meet with your leader, General Zohar. I'm the ambassador of Koas. I'm sure that name rings a bell even to a damn idiot like you. Now back the hell away and lead me to your camp. Don't even think of messing around with me or you'll face one furious goddess." The uneasiness of the orc now confirmed that he did at least recognize the name of Koas and the danger invoked by such name. Slowly, the orc lowered his axe and gave her a small nod. It seemed that was as close to a respectful bow one could expect from a barbaric orc. He turned around and waved her to follow him with a great meaty hand. Lexiss's black lip-stick covered tiers smirked arrogantly as she followed the cowed beast. It took quite some time before she began to hear the sounds of the large camp ahead. The loud metal clangs of orc blacksmiths at work resounded loudly and small smoke plumes filled the air above the tree line. Every now and then, a loud raucous of commotion could be heard that could only be a fight breaking out. Another fight broke out at the edge of the vast camp where they entered. Lexiss watched the two hulking orcs in disgust as they bashed each other with their large fists. Couldn't orcs think of anything else but fighting? Such inferior creatures! She and her escort orc continued towards the center of the encampment. She began to wonder how big this camp really was as it seemed to take so long in getting to General Zohar. She must have passed thousands of orcs going about their business in sharpening weapons, bringing in supplies, and so on. For a bunch of stupid humanoids, they seemed remarkably in good order as a camp. Still, by all the nasty leers and vulgar comments shot her way they proved themselves only slightly better than the foul animals in this area. Finally, the orc stopped at the biggest tent in the camp and extended an arm out to halt her. "Wait here and I will go tell the commander you're here." Lexiss only answered the orc in kind with a cool stare. She waited a few moments outside the tent before the orc's head popped out of the tent flap to look at her. "He says for you to come in now." Lexiss lifted her dress hem as she stepped inside the tent. The orc stepped outside after her and closed the flap. By the little movement of his shadow, it seemed he had taken up guard post of the tent during their little meeting. Standing before her now in the large tent was General Zohar without a doubt. He was definitely taller than the other orcs in the camp and a tree trunk of massive muscle. No doubt this large orc ruled the camp with an iron fist and little challenge. "Ambassador Lexiss of the powerful Koas, it is a pleasure to meet you finally. I have been looking forward to our meeting. General Zohar that I am," the big orc said with a slightly more respectful nod of his head. She was a bit taken by surprise by Zohar. She could see his eyes belied a hidden intelligence uncommon among his kind. Perhaps this general did not command by simple fear and strength alone. "A pleasure to meet you as well, General. I assume you are aware of the desires that my goddess has of your great orc army?" The big orc nodded as he scratched one of his great tusks thoughtfully. "I am. Your mistress wants me and my army to become part of some grand scheme. I suppose this plan of hers involves causing the chaos she is widely known for. The question is, what do I and the orcs of my army have to gain from all of this?" Lexiss simply smiled darkly to Zohar, "Why fun fighting and waging war on the helpless and weak of course!" This brought a pleased smile from the orc before she continued further. "You stand to gain vast treasures and access to the fertile lands to live in. No longer will you have to live in the wastes of such bogs like this one." "That is a mighty tempting for sure. And all the pussy we want?" the general asked with a wicked grin. She was a bit taken back by the sudden and unexpected question before nodding, "Y-yes. In the cities you capture or destroy, I am sure there will be plenty of females to rape and keep as sex slaves." Zohar seemed pleased further by this answer while pondering it over in his mind. A slow, wicked grin grew on his face until he finally shook his head in agreement with her. "All right then! I agree to ally with Koas for the time being." "I am su-" "Wait a damn second sweet-cheeks" Zohar said, cutting her off. His gaze loomed up and down her body with the same lecherous quality of the rest of his men. It seemed fighting wasn't the only thing orcs thought about all the time. "I said I would join, but under one condition." The shadow mistress frowned. "What condition would that be?" The damn filthy orc continued to leer down at her as he looked over her body once more. "You service me in any way I wish for the whole day. Yeah, that is the condition." Lexiss gaped at Zohar in plain disgust. Anger quickly boiled up in her as she took a threatening step towards him. She would give this filthy fucking pig a piece of her mind before killing him horribly slow. Then she remembered the words of Koas right before she left. 'Make sure you do whatever they want to convince them to join me. And I mean anything.' Those words echoed in her mind until her shoulders slumped in defeat. She had to do whatever this perverted monster wanted or else the orcs wouldn't join up with Koas. If they didn't, Lexiss shuddered visibly at the thought of the painful punishment she would receive from the wrathful goddess. Nothing could be worse than that. Swallowing her pride, the shadow mistress nodded silently to Zohar that she would comply. The orc sneered visibly now as he undid the tie to his pants. Zohar opened the fly to his pants and let them drop to the ground. The sight drew an involuntary gasp from Lexiss. Zohar's cock was huge! It wasn't even hard yet and was easily six inches soft. He laughed at her reaction and pointed to the ground at his feet. "On your knees bitch and wrap those pretty black lips around this big green snake of mine." Lexiss groaned inwardly in disgust but obeyed sure enough. She kneeled in front of him and almost gagged from the smell. Don't these damn orcs ever take baths? Closing her eyes, she leaned forward and ran her tongue up the length of that soft cock. This time she did gag at the foul taste. She didn't want to do this, but the thought of what would await her back in Nealon filled her with fear. Fear driven, the shadow mistress wrapped her luscious black lips around the green cockhead before her and sucked the sensitive tip. Zohar grunted and put a meaty paw on her head. His large green cock began to harden in her mouth as she took more of that great length. Zohar chuckled darkly and thrust more of his cock into the unsuspecting woman's mouth. Lexiss gagged as the smelly cock was suddenly forced down her throat. She struggled to breath and was finally able to get a small bit by breathing through her nose. She glared darkly up at him, but Zohar only smirked back and he drove more of that thick cock down her throat. Lexiss could only bare the indignation of this and sucked slightly as best she could, her mouth bobbing up and down the huge orc dick. For what seemed after forever, Zohar finally withdrew the long cock from her mouth. Lexiss coughed and rubbed her pained throat with her hand as she finally could draw in full breaths. Still glaring at him, she couldn't help but notice his cock was at its maximum with a huge twelve inch length and as thick as her wrist. "You like my big cock don't you? You're a real fucking slut," Zohar laughed as he grabbed her roughly. The orc put his hand at the top of her dress and ripped it down all the way off her body forcefully. He leered over her exquisite form. Big, gray tits bounced in their newfound freedom. Her long grey legs tried to conceal what he could already see was a shaven smooth pussy mound. Lexiss struggled in his arms futilely as he held her up in the air. Zohar had an iron grip on her but her squirming began to irritate him a little. He let go with one hand and roughly pinched and pulled on the dark gray nipple centered on one of those big knockers. Lexiss cried out in pain and stopped squirming obediently. She looked totally humiliated now with her expression and he loved it. He pushed her back against one of the tent supporting poles. Lexiss simply hoped now she could make it through this alive as rough as this orc was being with her. The orc was now roughly pawing at her large grey tits. He was squeezing them painfully and even slapping them some times. The force caused her jugs bounce around to his amusement. The orc found much more delight in pulling on her nipples outwards to make her tits extend from her body until she cried out in pain. She tried to fight it, but she could already begin to feel her body's betrayal and her pussy was soon wet with arousal. The shadow mistress sighed in relief when he finally stopped abusing her sensitive orbs, but that relief was very short lived. Zohar grasped her by the hips and lifted her easily off her feet to put her directly over his cock. Lexiss looked down at the thick green foot long cock right below her ready cunt and began to struggle again in her panic. "Noooo! Don't! Please! It's too damn big!" She screamed as she struggled uselessly in his iron grip. Zohar simply grinned, "It'll fit inside your little cunny alright. And you'll be pleading for more soon enough!" Lexiss screamed out her fury at him as she felt the huge cockhead press against her smooth mound. Slowly and surely his cock penetrated her hot snatch with the head entering with a loud wet pop. The grey woman could only groan in pain. She shook her head and long black hair about as she felt the fat green rod stretch her cunt as he pushed further inside her. The orc could be heard grunting with effort as he pushed harder to get more of himself into her. Apparently she was a much tighter fuck than he'd imagined. Her scream filled the air again as she felt the cock push past her cervix and into her womb, but this scream was also filled now with some pleasure as well as pain. Try as she might, Lexiss hated herself for feeling the pleasure of this big cock splitting her apart. She couldn't fight the waves of pleasure starting to crash through her. Zohar was now covered in smelly sweat from the exertion when he finally bottomed out in this hot bitch. She was so tight and hot that it was a struggle not to pump his big load into her already. Smirking arrogantly, he drew his cock back and slammed it as hard as he could back into her. The forcefulness of his thrust drew an audible gasp from her. Taking firm hold of both sides of her hips, the orc began to fuck the slut in midair. His cocky smirk only grew more as he felt her legs wrap about him as he thrust in and out of her roughly. The harsh, wet slaps of his big sweaty balls smacking her shapely ass filled the air no doubt well past the outside of the tent into the camp. The smell of orc sweat and sex permeated the tent as the general pounded his foot long cock into her. Lexiss could only groan now lowly as the pleasure continued to grow more inside her. To Zohar's pleasure, her big tits bounced up and down on her chest with every brutal fuck stroke he gave her. His rhythm began to intensify as if on purpose to see her jugs bounce more quickly. The burning pleasure in her cunt was building until she couldn't fight it any more. Her closed eyes opened and purple eyes gazed upwards with the wordless scream escaping her as the orgasm ripped through every part of her being. The orc general blinked when he felt the woman tense and suddenly scream at the top of her lungs. He felt the hot juices of her pussy flood over his cock as she twitched in her orgasm. The cumming woman's cunt was spasming all around his cock. It was too much, even for the powerful orc. His roar filled the air as his cock unloaded thick spurts of orc cum into her. His heavy balls pressed against her ass filled her womb full of the thick cum as she thrashed about. Lexiss had finished her humiliating orgasm moments ago when the Zohar finally stopped pumping her full of his filthy cum. She remained silent and unresponsive as he drew her off his green cum covered cock. She winced when he dropped her on her ass. Glaring darkly at him, she swore to herself she would somehow make him pay for this. "Are you quite finished now you bastard?" she spat at him. "Because I'm leaving right now." She took one look at her dress that was torn apart. It looked like she would have to shadow meld to leave rather than walk naked and degraded in front of all the other camp orcs. She stood slowly and brushed the dirt off her ass. A strong hand gripped her arm suddenly to make her look up at the general shaking his head. He leered down at her. "As good a fuck you were, it wouldn't be good for a commander to not share with his own troops." He said before dragging her towards the tent flap. His words hit her hard with understanding of what he meant. She wanted to struggle and kill him, but she couldn't. No cooperation on her part meant no orcs for Koas. He dragged the naked grey woman outside to the sudden loud jeers filling the air. She looked up to see they were surrounded by a whole slew of orcs with their big green cocks out and ready. Zohar dropped her in front of the first orc she'd met earlier that was still guarding the tent. The coarse comments kept on coming until Zothar raised a hand for silence. "You still need to service me for the rest of the day. Continue your service to me and let every orc who can until tomorrow fuck you in any way they desire," Zothar said followed by the hoots and hollers of hundreds of the orcs present. They all eagerly began advancing on their afternoon fun until Zothar turned around again. The harsh commanding stare was intimidating enough that every orc stepped back in unison. "But none of you are to kill, maim, or harm her in any way or else we'll have Koas after our asses. Am I clear?!" he roared at them. They all nodded that they did. Satisfied, Zothar turned to the orc guarding the tent. "Since you found her first, you get first fuck! Have at her you ugly bastards!" A huge cheer was raised for their commander. Lexiss couldn't believe this was happening. She had to let every orc in the camp screw her until sunrise? But there were hundreds, no, thousands of orcs in this camp. They would fuck her nonstop. She was so much in shock from what was happening, she didn't realize what was going on until she felt the large orc cock slam into her pussy from behind. She was on her knees now with the guard pounding her cunt for all he was worth and she couldn't help but groan as that familiar burn started to grow again towards another climax. She looked up in time to see the big green bulbous head of another orc's rod staring her in the face. She opened her mouth to protest only to have it muffled by that cock ramming its way in and down her throat. Soon, time seemed to never move any faster and the cocks just kept on filling her one after another for the entire afternoon and night along with, to her anger and shame, her own mind-numbing orgasms. ******************* Blaze sighed in relief as he looked down upon a bustling and still very alive Kyros. The hilltop they stood upon looked over the small fishing village like many others. It was a beautiful sight to see his home once again. The sea breeze came up the hillside to them with the scent of sea. He took in a deep breath of that sweet air he grew up with. Kendra stood beside him looking over Kyros curiously with those gorgeous green eyes. Blazing Glory Ch. 02 "So this is where you grew up?" she asked looking to him. He nodded with a smile and she looked back. "It is a very simple place, but it definitely has a peaceful look to it. I can see why you care about your home so much." They both started walking down the path towards the village as he remembered the past few days on the road with Kendra. At first, she had remained a little angry with him still for his actions but finally warmed back up to him by the first night. The whole trip had been been full of pleasant conversation albeit one-sided. Kendra had picked apart every bit of his mind and memory along to way. She really wanted to get to know him better which he felt was kind of odd. He figured the succubus would eventually tire and leave him sooner or later. By the time they reached Kyros, she knew almost everything about him from his childhood growing up to his intensive training in pursuit of his dream. What bothered him was how uncomfortable she was in opening up to him when he asked her a few questions of his own. Kendra didn't seem to really want to talk about herself and would always answer with a question of her own to him. He wondered what she didn't want to discuss. Regardless, he wasn't going to press the issue. He didn't want to end up searching for his decapitated head either! "Holy shit! Richard you lucky son of a bitch!" the yell carried over them. Startled out of his thoughts, Blaze grinned broadly and waved to his three childhood friends jogging over to meet them on the outskirts of town. He saw Joren, a tall lanky guy with a shock of bright red hair on his head and bright blue eyes amid all the freckles. Then there was the wall of muscle with dark sun-burned skin and black hair was right next to Joren. Holt was the apprentice of the blacksmith in Kyros and looked the part well enough. Panting right behind them lastly was good ol' Gram. Gram was a pudgy fellow but full of good nature and humor. The heavy friend had dark brown hair and a big warm smile like a lot of the village people did. "Those are the friends you told me about?" Kendra asked. She stood there wearing an amused expression with one hand resting on her cocked hip. "Yeah. That's them all right," Blaze said looking back to his pals having almost reached them. He had told Kendra all about how they each were considered weird by the other "normal" children. Joren was always picked on for his very rare red hair while Gram for being overweight. Holt was picked on out of fear because of his large size and well-built body. Blaze had been for being the smallest kid for his age in the entire village. All of them together became best of friends and looked out for each other. He remembers well enough Holt beating the living snot out of a gang of bullies striking him and Gram with sticks. All three skidded to a halt in front of both of them with big grins. Blaze introduced all three of them to Kendra, but couldn't help but notice all three of them gawking at the woman like they'd never seen the opposite sex before. More specifically, how their eyes seemed glued to Kendra's large breasts and ample cleavage. He wasn't the only one to notice this either. A knowing smirk slowly grew on the demon's gorgeous face and she seemed to arch her back a little bit more. Her breasts strained all the more against her leather vest. It was such a sight to behold, even Blaze lost track of what he was saying and simply stared. Damn Kendra had beautiful browned tits! Shaking himself out of the drooling daze, he looked back to his friends. "And this guys, is Kendra. I met her in Aidan along my journey." Joren snapped out of his own lust-filled dreams to look to him. "You met her in Aidan? Does she have a sister? Dear gods I hope so." Kendra chuckled softly and shook her head. "While I do have plenty of sisters, none reside in Aidan, Joren. Your good friend here rescued me from a bunch of thugs wanting to rape me just outside the city walls." These words caused his friends to look to him with a proud approval that their friend had done something great. Blaze couldn't help but scratch the back of head and grin admittedly her words were true. Of course, he was that way until she spoke again. "And I made sure to 'thank' my hero in the best way a lady could," she hummed knowingly. His jaw simply dropped as all three looked to him in shock and disbelief. Holt looked back and forth between the two of them before roaring in laughter, "Richard! You scored with this vixen? Get the hell out of here! And I'm the king of the Sonel Sea with a mermaid as my wife!" Joren and Gram laughed with Holt, obviously thinking this was some joke Blaze was pulling on them. Kendra simply watched the guys laugh with a knowing smirk before a wicked look flashed in those emerald eyes. She grabbed the still gaping warrior by his shirt and pulled him in to plant a hot wet kiss right on him. The laughter cut off almost immediately as his friends took their turn to gawk in disbelief at the sight of the vanilla-haired beauty kissing their pal wantonly right before them. Blaze overcame his shock and returned the lusty kiss, both their tongues caressing each other visibly to their audience. Kendra moaned into the kiss and pressed her body up against his, her breasts scrunched into his chest and pushed upwards enticingly with more visible cleavage between them. When she eventually pulled away from him in breaking the kiss, all Blaze could do was sway there in a daze. What a kiss! He finally came to his senses to look see Kendra smiling sensually away from him. His gaze followed hers to see all three men gawking at them with their jaws hanging open in shock. Kendra's arm slipped in around his waist as she smiled to him knowingly. Clearing his throat, he looked to the village behind his friends. "Well it was really good seeing you guys again. I'll try to find you again soon so I can tell you some of the details of my trip." They simply nodded, still speechless as, arm-in-arm, he and a pleased demoness walked past them into Kyros. He couldn't help but notice the envious looks his friends had, but also the looks of being happy that he'd found a real special woman. If they only knew how special! Word spread like wildfire through the rest of the fishing village of his return and the radiant woman with him now. People he knew growing up now gazed at the both of them wonderingly. Most of the older men he respected simply smiled and gave him their nods of approval in finding such a fine woman. All the rest simply stared at Kendra drooling and undressing her with their eyes. The reactions from the women greatly varied. From warm, motherly approval of Kendra to fuming hatred that their girlhood crush was now taken. Most of the reactions were frustration from young women with tans yelling out for Kendra to give up her secret on tanning. Little did they know, her toasted-almond brown skin was hers naturally. All the while he took this in with embarrassment, the succubus simply smiled all the more as her amusement grew. She was enjoying this way too much! He didn't even want to begin to try to understand why. They were finally at the outskirts of the other side of the village and walking up the path to his home. The small house was the same as the day he left it and sure was a beautiful sight to behold again. They had barely reached the front door when it opened and Ina rushed out. His mother seized him in her arms in a mother's tearful embrace. "Richard! You're home! I was so worried about you!" Ina cried into his shoulder as she hugged him crushingly. "M-mom..... I..... can't.......... breathe," wheezed out Blaze as his face began to turn red, then blue as he squirmed in her iron embrace. Kendra covered her mouth with her hand to keep from losing it. Obviously, it was quite a struggle for her to keep her laughter subdued. He shot her a glare before Ina finally released her son. Blaze bent over and gasped for breath. Oh sweet delicious air! With a newfound appreciation for the air about him, the young warrior looked up and lost his breath again. His mother and Kendra were staring at each other. Kendra was smirking confidently as always while his Ina gazed coolly at the succubus with a mother's critical judgment. After an ageless moment of silence, Kendra broke it with a small respectful nod of her head, "I am Kendra Tansanee. Your son has told me a lot about you. You've raised a fine young man." Ina's temperament changed like a sea storm blowing quickly away inland as she now beamed proudly, "I know. You must be his girlfriend. I could tell the way you two walked together like a sweet young couple. Just like his father and I did so many years ago. Please, please! Come on in! It's dreadfully hot out here." Kendra smiled in return and followed her inside with Blaze in tow rubbing his sore ribs. "Mom, we need to get you and everyone else in Kyros away from here," he said following them into the kitchen. "There is a plague spreading up the coast from town to town towards here." Ina sat down at the table as they did, no longer beaming with happiness. "I already know about it, Richard. All the people in this town know about it too. You haven't forgotten how quickly gossip and rumors spread from village to village have you? No doubt the very rumor is what brought you back right?" "Yes. An old man told me in Aidan about it. If everyone knows, then why haven't I seen any preparations for leaving the village?" She smiled to her son. "We're not about to give up our very livelihoods that easily. We've dealt with sicknesses striking Kyros before in the past. There was an outbreak of a deadly flu a few years before you were born in fact. The village has prepared itself and is ready with provisions in case of a quarantine being announced." Blaze blinked as he considered what she said before sighing, "I guess you're right. At least everyone is prepared. Still, I would feel better if you weren't around here and in danger mom." "You're so sweet, Richard, but don't worry. I'll be fine," she said and smiled comfortingly. "You two should get some rest and sleep. It's a long trip from Aidan. We can talk more in the morning." ******************* In his dimly moonlit room, Blaze stared silently up at the ceiling once again. He couldn't rest as his thoughts ran chaotically through his mind. Wondering if Kyros was next on Death's agenda, he worried constantly. He knew every single person here and any single death would hurt deeply. The warmth of Kendra's body pressed against his side was comforting. She lay cuddled up against him, arm draped over him possessively as usual. When he wasn't thinking about Kyros, his thoughts most often turned to the succubus. Why was she so silent about her past? Why the mysterious sense she held about her like a shrouded cape warding off the sun. Most often, he wondered why she was even still here. From his understanding, her race normally always dwelt in the Abyss. They only entered this realm to cause mischief for one. The other reason he heard was to become pregnant to increase the numbers of their race. Other than that, they preferred ruling over sub-demons and lower fiends in the Abyss. So why does Kendra choose to remain here for so long? If she wanted to become pregnant, she could have done so already long before she met him. He sighed softly as he wondered about her reasons. Her body stirred slightly against him before brilliant green eyes opened up to look at him. The moonlight made her eyes reflect the light and glow breathtakingly. "You're not asleep, Richard. What's wrong?" She asked softly. She raised her head slightly to look down at him sternly, "And if you say I'm snoring I'll kick your ass!" Blaze couldn't help but chuckle as he shook his head. "Well, it's not that. But I was thinking about you. You're just so mysterious to me. There is so little I know about you and you won't open up to me. I was just wondering why you choose to stay here. I thought your race's preferred home is the wastelands of the Abyss." Her gaze turned to look out the window for a few moments as she thought his words over. After some silent seconds, she lay back down beside him and rested her head on his left shoulder. "My people don't care much for me. So I was outcast from their presence and the Abyss." "How could that be? Kendra, you're the only demon I've ever met but I bet none of them come close to being as beautiful as you. And you just seem so powerful. I feel I haven't even seen you scratch the surface of your strength. How could they do that to you? Why?" When she spoke, the profound sadness catching her voice caught him off guard. "I dared.... to care," she said softly. He remained silent and didn't push any further. For that, Kendra was grateful. They both drifted off to sleep together, her arm more tightly wrapped about him now. ******************* The young warrior woke up in the morning to the familiar sounds of movement in the kitchen and the sizzling of breakfast. His eyes bolted open in eagerness with the thought of eating his mother's home cooked breakfast. No one could cook like she could! Something didn't feel right though. His chest felt lighter than usual. Turning his head to look beside him, he saw Kendra wasn't there with her arm across him. Getting out of bed to put his clothes on, he heard two familiar voices speaking in the kitchen. Finally having laced up his boots, he stepped out of his room and into the kitchen area. "I'm curious, Ina. How far north has this wave of death spread according to the rumors?" Kendra said, leaning back against the doorframe. She winked to him as he entered, "Morning stud!" His mother smiled to him warmly, "Good morning, Richard! I'm sorry if we woke you. Kendra and I were just talking and getting to know each other. I'll have breakfast ready in a moment dear." He nodded as he ran his fingers through his hair and leaned against the wall. His mother remained oddly silent as if she hadn't heard Kendra's question. She set the table and served them the best breakfast he'd had in the longest time. But his mother still remained silent at the table during the meal until they had finished. "It's no longer rumor," Ina said with a frown as she looked down, "Everybody just heard yesterday that Kato, not far south of here, was just recently hit by this epidemic. No one knows what is spreading it. Many are killing any seagulls and rats that get close to the village. We have become even wary of tradesmen coming through to buy our fish." "All right then. I am curious about this now. I think I will go for a little look," the demoness said as she stood from the table. "You can't go there! For Stavros's sake Kendra, you'll come down with it and die!" a dismayed Ina said with wide eyes. Kendra looked back over her shoulder to Ina with a small smile, "Thank you for your concern, but I'll be fine. Diseases don't affect immortals like me." The wings of the succubus appeared and spread out behind her lower back to prove her point. Blaze saw his mother gasp in horror as the realization of what Kendra was hit her. He reached out to grab her hand firmly in an assuring manner as he looked to his mother. "Mom. don't worry. Kendra is a succubus to be sure, but she isn't evil...... At least, not entirely I should hope." Kendra glanced sideways to him with a knowing smirk, "You should hope..." The sexy demon gave him a wink. Always the tease, he thought with an audible sigh. "Kendra. At least wait until you get to the out of sight of Kyros before you fly off, will you?" She simply chuckled and nodded, quite obvious that was what she had been planning to do anyways. Hips swaying oh so tantalizingly, she walked out of the kitchen. Blaze looked back to his mother who was now looking at him in shock. He laughed in embarrassment as he tried to find the words to explain to his mother how this situation came about but couldn't. Minutes passed by long after Kendra had left and he was still trying to find the best way to explain this, but he never had the chance. In the uncomfortable silence, they both blinked as they thought they heard something. Exchanging confused glances, what they heard grew louder until they heard without a doubt what it was. Somewhere, someone was singing a song...... ******************* Kendra relished the feeling of the cool sea air flowing beneath her wings as she glided southward. The strong sea breeze along the coast helped provide her abundant lift so she didn't have to tire herself flapping them. She'd been flying only for a short time from Kyros before she could already make out another village in the distance. She had enjoyed the attention in Kyros as well as the company of Blaze's mother. Ina was a strong, kind woman. Kendra hadn't really cared too much about what happened to Kyros. Her Blaze was what only mattered to her. But now that she had seen the friendly people in Kyros, Blaze's friends, and Ina, she felt different now and didn't want them to die either. Time to find out what the heck was going on in this area. She was already almost above the village of Kato. Looking down, she faltered in her flight in her shock. The dead were everywhere. They lay all about in the streets with no sign of life. But what really stunned her was that they were all naked. Not a stitch of clothing on any of them! Kendra steadied herself in her flight again and glided down towards the odd grisly sight. What kind of plague or sickness would cause this? She had never heard or seen the like in the centuries she'd been alive. The dust wafted over the naked humans as she landed softly in the street. Walking slowly from body to body, she kneeled down to inspect many of the corpses surrounding her. Kendra was baffled. There was no sign of any kind of sickness. No boils, blisters, rotted skin, or any other disgusting evidence of a deadly sickness. All the bodies looked to be in good health. Even their eyes were clear with no narrowing of the pupils. It's like their hearts simply stopped. But why was everyone naked? Rising to stand, the succubus hid her wings as she walked to the nearest building. Stepping inside, Kendra saw she was inside the local tavern. The sight was the same as outside. Naked bodies lay dead all about on the floor and tables. Shaking her head, she stepped outside. Hours passed as she walked through the streets and buildings. Everything was the same throughout the village. That was until she reached the beach. Bodies starting to bloat under the hot day sun lay about on the beach. A few more were floating in the shallow waters. But these were different than the bodies she'd seen before. All the bodies in the village were men and women of young to middle age. These bodies were all men and every one of them were mutilated in various ways. Some bodies were missing their limbs and heads while others looked to have been skewered right through by something. The waves and beach were red with the blood of so many men. This was just getting more and more bizarre. Kato reeked of death and she was wanted to get back to Blaze more than ever now. Kendra was just about ready to unfold her wings when some movement in the corner of her eye grabbed her attention. She looked to see a large group of humans making their way towards her along the beach. There looked to be just under a hundred of them and as they came closer, she saw the group was comprised of children and elderly humans. The group began to disperse some with most heading into the village while a few elderly women headed their way towards her. "Who are you and why are you here in our village?" Demanded the old woman woman who looked to be the one in charge. The two old men with long knives stood beside her protectively with glares daring her to try to do anything. Blazing Glory Ch. 02 Kendra frowned at the brazen old woman and folded her arms beneath her breasts, "My name is Kendra and I've come from Kyros to see what is going on here in Kato. We've learned that your town was hit with this strange sickness making its way up the coast." They all looked her over with some distrust, but the old woman's hard expression softened into one choked with grief. "My name is Mahari, dear child. I fear you are the lucky one of your village. What struck our village is likely hitting Kyros soon. There was no plague or sickness of any sorts." "Then what killed all these people, Mahari? How can you and the others have lived when all these people did not?" Mahari shook her head sadly. "It was a demoness, Kendra. The sick evil creature came from the sea singing some tune. It filled the air to where everyone could hear it. Then all the men and women of the village went crazy with lust. They kept having sex with each other until we started seeing them die from the exhaustion. They simply wouldn't stop. The demoness lured some men out into the see to seduce and murder them." Memories flashed through Kendra's head. The sea filled with blood. Sweet sensual singing filling the air followed by laughter. Kendra shook her head to clear her thoughts. It couldn't be.... "Then why weren't you and the others under this influence?" "Fortunately, the wicked creature didn't seem interested in the young and elderly. She had some of the villagers under her song spell gather us together and drive us away. Apparently the foul demoness doesn't have the taste for children and old folk committing sexual acts thankfully. We've come back to bury our dead and leave this now cursed place. You'd best come with us as you are lucky enough to not be in Kyros." Alarm and suspicion was quickly rising inside her, "Did you happen to see this demon? What did she look like, Mahari?" The old women thought her question over carefully before looking out to the sea filled with bodies, "Yes. I saw her. I will always remember and hate that demon with liquid blue eyes and hair like that of the sea itself. She was quite beautiful for a woman like you are. She could easily have seduced any man without need of spells." "Thanks Mahari. I'm sorry for the loss you've all suffered. I've got to go now though!" Kendra said as fury took hold of her. She spread her wings immediately and leapt up into the sky with the startled cries of the villagers. That bitch! That damn fucking bitch! She was back and this was her work without a doubt. Kendra flew towards Kyros as fast as her thrusting wings could take her. Kendra could never forgive her for what she did. And if that siren so much as laid a hand on Richard, she would rip that fucking whore limb from limb!!! ******************* As they both exchanged their confused glances, Ina and Blaze's eyes glazed over. All that mattered in the world to them at that point was the singing that filled their minds. Then the feelings began to rise. Ina's breath began to quicken as she felt herself grow horny. Her pussy began to get wet from the growing excitement she felt coursing through her. Sitting across from her, Blaze watched his mother's glazed eyes turn over to eyes filled with pure lust. His own excitement had been growing with his pants having a large tent from his hard cock. Lust filled his very being as the passion to fuck overtook him. He had to fuck now! And any woman he could! The loud bangs of the chairs being thrust back and crashing to the floor as the two rose quickly. Mother and son embraced each other and their lips met together passionately. Blaze felt the pleasure as his mother's hand greedily groped his cock through his pants as they kissed. Her tongue met his as their forbidden kiss continued. His hands seized his mother's breasts to squeeze them roughly. Hearing her moan hotly from his groping, he could feel her already hard nipples poking through her dress and kitchen apron. Ina gasps for air as she leaned back and smiled lovingly to her son. She couldn't believe the feelings she was having for her child nor the size of that big hot cock she felt and yearned for. All the years of having to satisfy herself all alone with no strong man's dick filling her left her so frustrated. All that built-up frustration and desire had been freed by the song breaking down the dam holding it all back. She needed to be fucked! She needed a cock! She needed her son to fuck the living daylights out of her! "Oh my sweet young boy has grown up to be such a strong man. I hope your cock is has big as I'm feeling cause mommy needs you to bang her cunt good!" she said smiling. "Let me see how much you've grown, Richard." Blaze smirked down to his sexy mother acting like such a slut and watched her kneel before him. She grasped his pants to forcefully yank them down to his ankles. His cock, sprung free of its confinement, stood out hard and true towards his mother's face. Her hungry eyes gazed upon the sight of her desires and made his cock twitch in eagerness. Ina's hand wrapped around his rod and began to stroke it up and down with her hand. Blaze couldn't help but moan as the hand felt great, but the realization that it was his own mother made the pleasure all the more better. "Oh dear! My boy is much bigger than I had imagined. You look so hard, Richard. Does it hurt? Want mommy to kiss it and make it feel all better?" Ina said looking up to him with mock-concern. "Yes mom. That would really make it feel better. Please..." he groaned as he eagerly arched his hips forward into her pumping hand. Ina could only smile slyly to her boy as she leaned forward to press her lips against that big cockhead in a soft kiss. The gasp of pleasure she heard above her made her smile all the more as she kissed the cock again and again. Her hand was pumping up and down that big dick now with her hand swirling to and fro in the twisting jerk off. Blaze had to lean back against the table as she felt his knees trembling from the intense pleasure she was giving him. Dear gods her son had such a beautiful cock! She flicked her tongue along the tip of his cock. Precum leaked out of the slit to be taken in by her tongue. He tasted wonderful! She had to have more! More of her boy's cock! Blaze watched in awe as his mother took the head into her mouth and began sucking on it softly. He could only moan as she took more of his rod deeper into her mouth. His and grasped her hair as she began to bob her head up and down on him, sucking with wild abandon. The air full of the passion-inducing song was soon joined by the sounds of the wet slurping sucking of a mother sucking of her son. Ina was going all out on his cock as she covered his dick with her saliva, drooling over it and herself like the cock-hungry slut she'd turned into. Oh he tasted so wonderful in her mouth! She couldn't get enough of it. Fuck what the rest of the world would think of them! She was going to suck her child off and then have the fuck of her life. Richard and her already loved each other and this was only natural they should share their feelings together in this way. Moaning hungrily for his cum, she bobbed her head up and down faster on his hard dick and sucked for all she was worth. His eyes closed with the pleasure going through the roof as his mother went to town sucking his cock. He was so close and was quickly feeling himself moving to blowing his load. Holding on for all he was worth, he savored the feeling and the sight of her licking his cock all over with her tongue before taking it back into her mouth to work it like a pro. She was like a woman possessed with a mission. Well she succeeded as he felt himself give in to her coaxing mouth. "Oh mom... I'm going to cum!" he cried out as his cock jerked in her mouth and cum erupted from it. Ina swallowed her son's first few spurts with relish. He tasted better than she was hoping but she also wanted something else. She removed her mouth from his cumming rod with a wet pop. His cum hit her face then with loud splats as she let him squirt his jizz all over her. She felt like such a tramp and fucking loved it! Her son groaned in pleasure as he stopped cumming on her but her hand kept him hard and ready by pumping it. Thick globs of the incestual cum ran slowly down her face and drip onto her clothing. Ina gasped, "Oh now look at what my bad boy has done. He's gotten my clothes all messy!" She smiled up to him and licked to jizz from her lips. Rising from her knees, the Thorburn mother untied the laces to her cum stained apron to let it fall to the floor. Smiling sweetly to her young boy as she saw the craving lust in his eyes to see her body, she grabbed the hem and slowly pulled her dress up and over her head. Her generous breasts bounced free capped with already hard buds waiting for a mouth to suck on them. Leaning back against the table, she spread her legs and crooked a finger to him. "Enough foreplay. We can do that later... Come give your mother a good fucking!" Gazing at his mother's body with lustful thoughts, he was amazed at how beautiful her body still was. She wasn't even close to Kendra, but then again who was? Ina was still a pretty woman and who was he to deny her wet and ready pussy the hard pounding she desired. He quickly stepped forward into her waiting arms. Ina kissed him hotly as he felt her wrap her legs around his wait. They both held their breath in preparation as he felt the head of his dick press up against his mom's wet pussy. Both moaned softly as his hips pressed forward, his cock sinking into her hot snatch. Neither of them moved as they relished the feeling. Ina trembled in ecstasy with the feeling of being filled by a real live cock finally in all these years. She simply moaned her son's name loudly into the air. Blaze needed no further encouragement as his slid his cock out slowly and thrust back into his mother's waiting cunt. That drew a lusty gasp from her. "That's it son. By the gods you have such a wonderful cock. To think it was there in the other room ready for me all those years. Come on now you mother-fucker! Screw the hell out of me Richard!" she screamed. She looked intensely into his eyes the entire time as he began to increase the speed of his thrusts. Each resounding stroke from him sent sparks of pleasure exploding through her body. Leaning back, she totally gave herself to his fucking as her body got what it had so long been denied. Sweat beaded on her forehead as she felt herself already soaring to her climax. Biting her lip, Ina tried to hold on by it was liking fighting a rip current. She was soon lost as she wailed loud and long as her cunt flooded his pumping cock with her pent of pussy juices. Blaze simply smirked as he watched her thrash about on his cock in mindless pleasure. He kept pounding her through her orgasm as her cunt quivered all about him. Damn it felt great and was hard not to fire his load into her right then. His mom simply gazed at him in wonder as she came down from her orgasmic bliss only to be driven into another roaring climax. The air all about the small home was soon filled with non-stop screaming as he pounded her into non-stop orgasm after orgasm until she felt as if she were cumming all over his big hard cock with no end in sight. And please dear gods let there be no end to this sweet fucking cumming, she thought. She was such a slutty bitch and loved fucking her son! Unfortunately, he couldn't keep this up forever as her cunt was milking his cock for all she was worth with her multiple orgasms. Grunting with the effort of fucking her hard now as he neared his breaking point, the loud slaps of his balls smacking her ass were soon all that was heard next to her low passionate moans. Opening his eyes, he saw his mother staring at him with an encouraging smile as her tits bounced up and down wildly. He couldn't take it anymore! Roaring, he slammed his cock into her one last time before filling up his mother's womb with his white spunk! Ina screamed one last time as she felt her own boy filling her with his seed. They both tightly embraced each other until their orgasms subsided and left them shining with perspiration. But tired they were not. Instead they were ready for more as the rapturous song drove their hunger to further heights. ******************* That very song filled the air around Kendra as she neared Kyros. May the Abyss curse her to eternal suffering! She was too late! The succubus could feel the seductiveness in the singing, but it didn't affect her as she is demon of passions herself. The cries and moans of hundreds of humans were accompanying the song. Figuring hiding her true demon identity was pointless now; Kendra folded her wings in to dive down into the village. Spreading her wings to fan out, she landed smoothly in one of the streets right near Blaze's home. Her long vanilla-colored hair fanned out behind her as she ran as fast as her feet could carry her towards the small home. The demoness skidded to a halt before the door and steadied herself, hoping she wasn't too late. Opening the door, she stepped inside swiftly. The house was oddly silent other than that whore's blasted singing. "Ina? Are you here?" she called out, looking about. "Richard? Please answer me!" The red wings on her head twitched nervously. With no answers, she prepared herself for what she feared most as she walked deeper into the silent home. Glancing into the kitchen, the sight of the overturned chairs unsettled her some until she heard something. It was almost impossible to hear with the song filling the air, but no succubus could miss the distinctive sound of a passionate groan. Stepping silently towards Ina's bedroom, the sounds of pleasure most definitely grew louder as well as the wonderful smell of sex. Opening the door to Ina's bedroom, Kendra peeked inside and blinked at the sight that greeted her. Blaze's mother lay on her bed moaning very softly as one of her hands squeezed her tit. Ina's other hand was between her legs pumping two fingers in and out of her cunt frantically with loud wet slurps. But Blaze wasn't in here either. Where was that damn man!? She stepped over to peek inside Blaze's room quickly. To her frustration, she found it empty. He wasn't home and that worried her most of all. She would rather have found him home fucking Ina in the spell-casted lust than know he was out in the village in possible danger. Frowning darkly, the succubus stepped inside to tie Ina to her bed so she didn't masturbate herself to death. The woman was already too weak to resist and didn't protest. She looked very exhausted. Stepping outside of the home, Kendra looked about in surprise at the streets. In her focused haste to the house, she hadn't noticed what she saw now. Couples and groups filled the streets screwing each other in all kinds of positions in one massive orgy. Sexual energy permeated all of her surroundings. If she hadn't been worried about Blaze and the people here dying, she might have well joined in the huge debauchery and fucked herself stupid the whole day. Making her way through the streets, Kendra looked about for that young warrior among the masses of naked bodies. Stepping over a couple screwing on the street, she moved towards the nearest building she knew to be the tavern. Poking her head inside the door to glance around, she saw the waitress on her hands and knees on top of one of the tables. A customer was behind her and happily ramming his cock in and out of her young twat. The waitress's moans were muffled as she sucked on the bartender's cock down deep into her throat. A group of naked men stood all around the naked woman, jacking off their dicks to keep them hard until it was their turn in the gangbang. Some of the men couldn't hold themselves and shot their wads onto the woman. She was quickly becoming soaked in many loads of cum. But no Blaze among them. Walking down the steps into the street, she saw the smithy across the street. Remembering one of Blaze's friends was an apprentice there, she hoped that he had ended up going there. Stepping into the building, it was smoldering with heat as one would expect. All the naked bodies inside were glistening with the copious amounts of sweat covering their bodies. She spotted Holt over by the big anvil. The large man was slamming his huge cock into an older woman sitting on the anvil with tits larger than her own. The woman was groaning like a surly slut having seduced an innocent young man. "That's it Holt! Hammer my cunt with that big tool of yours like I know you've always wanted to! You're such a naughty bastard fucking your master's wife!" the older woman cooed as the metal of the anvil below her cunt was wet with her pussy juices. She threw her head back with a lusty moan as more juices splashed out of those lips to drench the anvil further. Her cumming apparently drove Holt over the edge as she panted heavily. His passionate grunts and frantic thrusts finally stopped as his cum erupted inside the big breasted blonde. Holt pulled out of her pussy in time for long thick ropes of cum to erupt upwards to splash the older woman's tits. The woman moaned as she rubbed cum all over her breasts to make them shine wetly. She turned her head to look somewhere else in the smithy out of Kendra's sight. "That's right dear husband! Screw the living shit out of that little shrew!" Stepping aside the pile of wood and coal, the demoness glanced around to see a massive man that was even bigger than Holt giving it to a young woman from behind. From the size of her tits and blonde hair, the young lady looked familiar. The woman squealed in pleasure as the massive man rocked her body hard. "Yes! Fuck me daddy! Slam that big dick of yours in me! Cum inside my cunny daddy please!" The behemoth of a man obliged the request as he grunted and soon Kendra could see the proof leaking out of the happily squealing girl's pussy. Sighing with disappointment, she realized the man she was looking for wasn't in here. Sweat now shined on her beautiful browned skin with beaded droplets rolling down her chest into her ample cleavage. Pushing the door open, Kendra couldn't help but sigh in pleasure as the cool sea breeze washed over her. Walking over to the next building, she looked up at the sign with a book on it. This must be the school for Kyros. Kendra entered with caution to walk down the narrow hallway. Glancing inside one classroom, she found a group of young women and men having sex in all kinds of positions. Apparently these students were currently taking Sex-Ed. Shaking her head, she stepped across the hallway into another classroom. The demoness' hopes were raised when she saw Blaze's other two friends, Joren and Gram. Surely Blaze would be here then! A middle-aged woman with sharp glasses and her brown hair up in a proper bun straddled Joren laying on the floor. She whimpered as she rode his young cock, her smallish tits standing out firm and perky. Gram was right behind her thrusting his rod into her butthole. "Man, Principal Shaylen! You're so damn tight! Can't believe I'm finally fucking you after all those years in school!" Joren groaned as he squeezed her tits with his hands. The woman simply kept whimpering in pleasure and cumming on their cocks in the double-penetration. Glancing about the rest of the small room, Kendra saw no one else present. Shoulders slumping in discouragement, she turned around and quickly made her way out of the building. She was near the small supply shop when she saw two clothed men guarding the door. She jogged over to them wondering all the while why they weren't naked and doing the nasty with everyone else. The men had glazed over looks in their eyes as they stood guard, arms folded across their chests. When she tried to pass and enter, both men made a grab for her to stop her. Instead, they were both on the receiving end of either of her fists in their stomachs. Both men groaned from the powerful blows from the demoness and slumped over to collapse upon the ground. Blazing Glory Ch. 02 Kendra shook her head. Some guards they were. Opening the door, she walked inside to receive a surprise in the most pleasant manner. The village elderly and children all huddled together on the floor in fear as they waited for whatever their fates had in store for them. They looked up to her entrance at first in recognition before the fear set in with the sight of her wings. She simply smiled reassuringly to them as she glanced about. He wasn't here either! Where the hell was he? "Don't worry everyone. I know who is causing this and will stop them shortly. Has anyone happened to see Richard Thorburn?" she asked the now-calmer group. An old wrinkled man nodded and pointed towards the west. "Yes, the boy was heading that way towards the sea not too long ago." Mutilated bodies lying all over the beach flashed through her mind. Blaze was there. No.... Not again! "Thank you! Everyone stay here where it's safe for now!" she said as her apprehension went to new levels and made her blood go cold. Turning swiftly on the sharp heel of her black boot, the succubus burst out of the door and into the street at a dead run for the beach. Sand sprayed upwards into the air as she slid to a stop. Looking out to the Sonel sea, she finally saw him standing in the shallow waters and he wasn't alone. Kneeling before her naked lover kneeled a woman with green hair like that of the sea grass and fair skin of powder blue. The siren wore very little clothing with a silver fish-scale bikini barely holding in her generous breasts. A silken white skirt that Kendra knew reached almost to her feet but were slit on both sides to reveal those long toned legs. She filled the air with her hypnotic singing spell but she was humming it now with quite an obvious mouthful. Her aquamarine eyes gazed up to Blaze as she bobbed her head up and down on his cock. But the succubus no longer saw that.... Kendra's vision had gone blood red..... ******************* Blaze simply moaned in blissful pleasure as the strange woman hummed around his hard dick, sending sweet vibrations through that sensitive cock. She was sucking him for all she was worth and he swore he wasn't going to last much longer. The stimulation from her humming was driving him crazy. "SONORA, YOU FUCKING WHORE!!! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MAN RIGHT NOW!!!" The woman stopped humming in surprise as both of them were shocked by the voice thundering over them. Blaze blinked. Where was he? He had been looking at his mother in their home and now he was standing knee deep in the sea. And why couldn't he move? Dazed, he watched the green-haired woman stand with an arrogant smile. She turned his motionless body around to where he could see Kendra standing not too far away on. By the way the succubae's clenched fists trembled with wrathful fury, he was surprised the water around her wasn't boiling and steaming. What the hell was going on? He struggled will all his might to move but couldn't still. He felt the woman rest her chin on his shoulder while looking at Kendra. "Well look who as crawled out from under her rock! It's so good to see you again dear Kendra!" the woman said with a sweet melodious voice. "I see you're up to your old tricks, Sonora. This is my last warning. Let him go.... now," the seething demoness said as her whip dropped from her coat sleeve. "Dear Kendra, you're never any fun are you?" Sonora said as she leaned back. Blaze's eyes opened in surprise when he suddenly felt strong fingers with sharp nails seize his neck. Kendra gasped and raised her free hand quickly, "Please, Sonora! No! Don't do it! Please not again!" she pleaded. He'd never seen Kendra like this before. No longer furious, she now looked terrified. What did she mean by "not again"? That and many other questions about this situation were screaming through his mind while struggling to move futilely. Sonora chuckled softly behind him. "I suppose you're wondering what that tramp is talking about, my dear boy. A couple decades ago, that whore came into a city on a port to satisfy her lusts. She didn't realize those where my feeding grounds. On and on she kept stealing my sailors that I would normally seduce to their dooms." Blaze grunted with effort as he felt his hand move slightly finally. He could see the burning anger slowly building in Kendra again. Her beautiful green eyes now cold with pure hatred. Demanding his body to fight more, he felt his elbows and knees start to bend obediently. Sonora laughed softly as she tightened her grip a bit more about his throat, "I eventually came to find out the succubus began to care for a certain man. Can you imagine that harlot actually fell for a man? So I lured him out to the sea to get even with her. We all stood as we do now with you in his place. Poor man. You'll share his very fate. With my bare hands, I ripped his head clear off his shoulders right before her very eyes. Oh the look on her face as his blood splashed all over her." He felt the siren lean away as she threw her head back to laugh in delight at the memory. CRACK! Sonora's laughter silenced into a startled gargle for breath. Turning his head slightly, he followed the length of Kendra's long whip coiled about the shocked siren's neck much like Kendra had done to him earlier that week. The succubus now looked like Death itself come to take another victim. With one smooth yet powerful movement, Kendra yanked the whip backwards with all her force. The claws about his neck disappeared to let him drop to his knees in the shallow water. The helpless siren now sailed through the air over him and towards the waiting winged demoness. Kendra twisted her body the other way now as she reared her right arm back and hand clenched into a fist. He saw it coming as did the helpless siren. Oh this was going to hurt! POW!!!! Blaze could only wince in small sympathy as he heard Kendra's fist slam hard into Sonora's face with reverberating force! That very force sent the siren now sailing in an arc backwards through the air until she landed with a loud splash a good distance behind him. Damn, he thought. Now THAT was a punch! Slowly pushing himself to his feet, he willed his body to stumble towards her. Kendra stepped forward to grab and support him. His legs felt like wet noodles. Damn that Sonora for whatever she did to him! But why the hell do it with him naked? A loud hateful scream filled the air now as the water erupted upwards. The siren stood now where she had fallen, her face no longer beautifully serene but full of loathing as green blood leaked out of her broken pert nose. In her hand standing next to her was a long poll with a wickedly curved blade attached to it at the top end. He knew that weapon from his training. It was a naginata! And she looked like she was well ready to use it. "I'll cut you and that stupid man to pieces!" she growled darkly. She took a step towards them before stopping and looking up to the sky. "But mistress, must I? I want to make her suffer for hurting me as she did!....... As you command, my mistress." Looking back down to them with scorn, the siren turned away and dove beneath the surface of the waters. They looked about them cautiously, but the siren never again broke the surface of the calm sea. ******************* That night, Ina and Blaze sat at the table as they listened to Kendra explain how Sonora had been behind the events along the coast and what she did. Neither Blaze nor Ina could remember what happened after they first heard the beginning of the song. The same went for the entire village. Once word got out from the witnesses of the massive orgy, many chalked it up as either wild tales from the confused, frightened and the perverted. None believed they had been having sex after waking up laying naked where they were. If they had, why hadn't they come to while still in the act of fucking? Most believed the madness had been the plague itself come upon them, but were relieved in that the village of Kyros had been strong enough to withstand it. Ina sighed with relief as she took this in. At least there would be no chaos resulting from the repercussions of this then. Still, she felt uncomfortable about something and she had a good feeling of what it probably was. "Well, at least it is over and everyone is safe. By the pounding you gave that Sonora, I doubt she'll be back or making any more trouble," Blaze said as he stood from his chair. He yelped when Kendra smacked his ass with a wicked grin, "Get your ass to bed. You have some thanking to do for me and I intend to collect tonight!" He jumped to attention and saluted her with a big grin, "Yes, ma'am!" He chuckled then as he left them both. Mother and succubus sat there in silence as they gazed down uncomfortably. "He fucked you didn't he?" Kendra asked without looking up. "Yes. He did. I know by the way I feel so good. I haven't felt like this in so many years. Don't worry though. As long as we both don't mention it to him, he'll never know the better," Ina smiled warmly, "and besides, I feel wonderful now after so many years. I really needed what only a loving son could really give." Kendra looked up to her with a look of understanding before looking thoughtfully in the direction he left. "Well, I have a 'thank you' to go collect. Good night, Ina. I'm really glad you're okay." She winked to Ina as she stood and left the kitchen. They both made a really cute couple after all. From the way she felt now, she knew Kendra was in for one wonderful night. Ina smiled and whispered softly to herself, "Go get him girl!" ******************* Koas glared out the window, the erupting volcano suiting her current mood. Sonora had failed at that village and she was not pleased about her failure. That crazy siren would have gotten herself killed by the succubus if she hadn't commanded her to stop and retreat. She would think of a proper punishment for Sonora later. Then she felt his presence. Red eyes turning to coolly regard the figure now standing in the light in front of her. "Stavros, what a surprise. What brings you to honor my home with your attendance?" The old beggar from Aidan stood before her with an unreadable expression. "I've come to tell you that whatever you plan to do, I won't allow it to occur." "Oh really, dear Stavros," the goddess laughed softly in delight, "What makes you think you can? You know we gods are bound from directly intervening with the mortals but instead can guide them as we see fit. So how are you to ever know where my agents are working for yours to always stop?" Stavros smiled grimly, "I have my ways as you have yours, Koas. You've been warned. Your desire to cause mischief in the world will bring about your downfall one of these days." Koas snorted in disbelief and glanced out the window in disgust, "Yeah right, Stavros. The world is already on the edge of chaos in so many ways. I'm just the flame to ignite the already present powder keg. Once the world descends into chaos, there is nothing you or the other gods can do to stop the neverending discord." Her glowing red eyes glanced back to the empty space she already knew was there. Always so quick to leave and never a sweet goodbye, that Stavros. Her thoughts turned to her plans once again. Sonora was a minor setback. Lexiss already had her next assignment and Aurora was already hard at work. Things were moving along quite well for the most part. She laughed softly to herself, feeling much better now.... Blazing Glory Ch. 03 This is a work of my own creation and, being so, is a parody of many races of fantasy that have been created over the past century. Any similarity of characters with real world is either coincidence or intended with implied differences (Example: If I wanted to write a story on say Jasmine of Disney because she's hot, the character will similar in appearance but different physically in ways as well as psychologically). Under no circumstances should anyone under 18, or 21 (under local government law), or any non-Adult read this! This work contains graphic violence and acts of pornography.

Answer you mistress!" the goddess's voice boomed within her castle angrily. Her red eyes narrowed darkly with growing impatience. Aurora could be such an arrogant fool at times. She was as proud as Sonora was crazy. Her orb flickered finally before dreamy grey eyes appeared within. Koas growled, "It's about time, Aurora! Why didn't you answer my summons sooner?" "I apologize, my great goddess. I was away fulfilling part of the task you have given me," Aurora's proud, haughty voice answered in return. "Fine then. I suppose I can accept that excuse this time. Make me wait like that again, though, and you'll receive punishment as I see fit. Understood?!" Her voice boomed dangerously. Aurora's eyes flinched in sudden fear. "Y-yes Koas. I understand clearly." "That's good. Tell me what you were up to." "Yes, mistress. So far I have fulfilled the part in creating suspicion and fear in the nearby villages. They are suspecting them as we hoped and their hatred is growing. Soon, like all human scum do when giving in to fear, they will form a mob and attack. Then the chaos we hold so dear to our hearts will engulf this area." Koas laughed softly, obviously no longer angry and pleased with the news of this progress The apprehension in Aurora's grey eyes eased at the improved mood. "What I just came back from was an improvision I thought you would be most pleased with. The humans hatred is near the boiling point and they're scouring the area for the culprit. I lured the humans right to one of them and they captured the little rat instead of me. Once they kill that lower trash, the rest will be in an uproar against the humans." "Wonderful Aurora! That is outstanding," Koas laughed in pure delight,"and keep it up! I'm glad you're not a failure like one of your fellow comrades. She will be dealt with her punishment soon enough." There was a soft knock at the door that drew that red gaze away from the orb. "Come!" Koas looked back to the orb with the obedient eyes of her servant waiting for anything else from her. "Continue this good work and you shall receive your due rewards, sweet Aurora. I need to attend to another matter now." The orb went dark with the sound of the door shutting. Koas now looked to the door with two figures waiting. The luscious dark figure on the left was her faithful avatar Lexiss. Stand next to the shadow mistress was the fish-out-of-water Sonora. The siren looked quite uncomfortable in the fiery heat of Nealon. She looked even more pale as she knew she was here because of her failure and it was time to receive punishment. The green-haired vixen squirmed beneath the goddess's stern gaze from the darkness and flinched visibly when she finally spoke. "Sonora, dear Sonora. Whatever were you thinking? How could you let one lone demon from the Abyss get the best of you?" Koas scolded. Sonora remained silent as she looked down in humiliation. "You have the full support of a goddess behind you even when that succubus did not. Not even Lloth or Takhisis like dealing with their foul race! Yet she would have killed you had I not ordered you to get away. One of my most powerful servants humiliated like that. I'm disgusted!" The siren remained silent still although it looked like every word she said made Sonora feel more and more insignificant. Feeling that her point was made and her servant put in her place, Koas sighed softly as she studied the woman. The failure wasn't a great folly, but if her plans were to succeed she could not afford for any more mistakes. The siren was fortunate enough that her mistake wasn't great enough to where Koas would have simply destroyed her. "Still, you've always been a good faithful servant. After your punishment, you may await my next orders for you. Lexiss. The reason I called you back was for this very reason. Sonora here will be going in your place to act as my ambassador. I want you to fill her in on the details. You two may go now." The shadow mistress brightened and gave a sigh of relief. Sonora looked confused at first from seeing Lexiss's reaction but brightened also. Apparently the thought of being an ambassador for one time didn't seem so bad to her. Both happy women bowed deeply for their mistress before leaving her presence. Oh how little the silly siren knew! **************** A long groan of relief escaped from Blaze as he sat down in the chair. The Frisky Mare was full and bustling as usual this evening. A cute blonde waitress came over to place a mug of strong ale in front of him. She gave him a small smile and wink before turning to other customers. Staring after her in shock, Blaze wondered what that was about. He silently hoped Kendra wasn't around to witness it either or else the Frisky Mare would have a new waitress position available. After seeing the pummeling Kendra gave Sonora in a fit of jealousy, he was now cautious of any woman flirting with him in the slightest. Fortunately for her, Kendra was off in the back getting ready. "Go out there, relax and enjoy the show stud! It was a long trip and you're in need of some rest," she had told him. The demoness had a point. His feet were killing him. Taking a drink from his mug, he thought back to Kyros. They had slept in late. When she said she meant to collect, she sure as the Abyss did! The succubus damn near sucked his nuts dry then rode him into sunset. Man was it great, he thought with a big grin. What he remembered the most was the surprise from his mother when they were ready to leave. They were standing just outside the front door when Ina came rushing out. "Hold on a moment you two! Kendra, darling, I want you to have these," she said as she handed the succubus a small wooden box. Kendra opened the box and let out a small gasp, "Ina. I couldn't... They're gorgeous..." Blaze glanced over his lover's shoulder to see earrings with amber teardrops and a thin white tiara with an amber pendant in the middle. The sun's rays reflected off the gemstones beautifully as they both stared in wonder. "M-mom... Where the heck did you get these? They must have cost more than a year's allowances!" Blaze said in shock. Ina simply smiled, "They are a family heirloom passed down from mother to daughter or, like in this case, to my boy's sweetheart." The demoness looked up to Ina in startlement before blushing. Blaze rubbed his eyes. Kendra? Blushing? No fucking way! But she was as she put the earrings on before placing the tiara on her head. The band was so light, it blended into her hair so perfectly that the pendant stone seemed to be in place all by itself. If it could be possible, the stones enhanced the dark skinned vixen's beauty even more. By the grace of Sharta was she gorgeous! Kendra noticed Blaze's stare and Ina's approving smile. "Thank you, Ina," she said softly while blushing greatly. He looked to her in shock wondering what happened to the succubus he knew. She must be showing a rare side of herself. They both left his home with his mother's blessings, after she finally let him go from her rib-crushing hug! "Ooof!" he wheezed when a punch to those still sore ribs brought him back to the present. Rubbing his side with a grimace, the young warrior glanced up to see Big Papa standing over him with a big grin. Blaze smiled and stood from his chair, extending his hand in greeting. "Good day, sir! How ar-.. OH SHIT!" he grunted when the big man suddenly seized him in a big friendly hug. The ribs! Dear gods lay off the ribs!!! Blaze cringed in pain as he barely managed a small smile for the laughing big man. "Blaze! Thank you, my boy!" Big Papa bellowed happily. "Thank you for bringing my dear girl back safely!" Managing a small nod, he struggled to breathe until Big Papa finally let him down. Blaze sagged down into the chair to catch his breath. "You're welcome, sir. Honestly, it wasn't all that bad in Kyros though. Kendra is one heck of a woman." A proud, fatherly smile overcame the tavern owner as he nodded. "That she is! I remember well the one night we had an unruly customer jump onto the stage and go after her. The bouncers weren't close at hand to get him. The poor sap got his ass kicked into next year by Kendra. I've never seen such moves from a fighter before!" Wow, he thought. He knew the succubus was a deadly viper with her whip, but didn't know she could fight hand-to-hand. The fighter in him eagerly hoped he could someday see the powerful demon unleashed with her fists. What a woman! Blaze laughed with the big man. The big man pulled out a chair and sat next to him at the table. They spent the next few minutes conversing with Blaze filling the older man in with what he knew happened along the Quinlan coastline. "By Stavros's might," the old man said as he leaned back into the chair, "It's horrible that so many people died because of that insane creature. The Fate's blessing it was for the two of you to arrive and stop such madness." Blaze nodded silently before taking a long swig of ale from the mug. Something in the corner of his eye caught his attention and drew his gaze towards it. Taking another appreciative drink, he glanced over the rim of his mug to see a cloaked figure sitting in a dark corner all by itself. Frowning slightly as he set his mug down, he looked back to Big Papa with a small nod over towards its direction. "Who's the lone stranger over there?" he asked. Big Papa looked over towards the same direction for a few moments before he looked back to Blaze. "Don't worry, friend. That is a magician I hired recently. Though he sticks to himself most of the time, he's a good fellow. He provides a great lighting effect with his magic during some of the dances." He nodded and relaxed a bit, trusting Big Papa's judgment in those he hired to work for him. It wasn't just that the cloaked figure made him uncomfortable, but that he had always been uneasy around magic. He'd never seen any magic before but his master had told him how it could be used in battle. A cold shiver ran up his spine as he remembered all the gory, horrible descriptions of the power magic inflicted in a fight, "Looks like it's show time, Blaze," Big Papa said looking up to the stage they sat next to. "Kendra told me she wanted to do this dance especially for you. This will be something great to witness, my friend!" The lights were once again dimmed as the band got set in their positions. The drummer slammed the beat down that was much quicker than last time. This time the whole group joined in with flutes, drums, bongos, and even a few instruments he didn't recognize. Altogether they created a fast paced beat with an exotic feel to it that made him feel as if he were in one of those famous tribal jungles he's heard the fishermen tell tales about. The second after the music began to play, he noticed the cowled figured clap his hands together and move in strange fluid gestures. He shivered as he watched the spell casting occurring. The lights dimmed further until suddenly the whole room was ablaze in color lights of red, purple and green. It was a dazzling affect that filled the room and enhanced the feel of the jungle beat. Blaze's gaze was drawn to the stage when the curtains were thrust aside. His jaw hit the table! Kendra stood there with a wild white feather headdress that went beautifully with her long vanilla hair. She wore a bikini top and bottom, but they were entirely composed of feathers as well. All along the length of her slender arms and legs the feathers ran down in one solid strip. The succubus literally strut her stuff out onto that stage barefoot with an air of pure regal confidence one would imagine a jungle queen to have. The cheers and hoots of everyone filled the room as the men drooled at the sight of the dark-skinned exotic beauty with white feathers all about her. Kendra glanced over to him, her confident smirk growing as she saw him sitting there with his mouth hanging wide open in shock. The beauty then started tapping her feet to the song's fast beat and soon her whole right leg started bouncing as she rolled her head about, flinging her hair about wildly like an amazon lost in passion. Soon she was spinning around in a flurry of feathers with her hands raised up in the air as she lost herself to the song. The dancer's hand grabbed the dancing pole to twirl around it swiftly. Both her hands gripped the pole after one spin and he watched her climbing upwards on the pole all the way up to the ceiling. What was she up to? Her legs wrapped possessively around the pole like every man present wished she could do to them and one man who already knew. That man watched his lover suddenly lean backwards to where she now hung upside down with her fair hair cascading down like a white waterfall. The exotic woman held herself there with her powerful legs and thighs as she cupped her breasts lovingly, presenting everyone with her beautiful browned cleavage. Slowly she began to slide down the pole with a small smirk until right as she neared three quarters the way down, her legs released her and she flipped backwards onto her feet with great agility. Whipping her head around, her green eyes took in the astonished audience with a pleased look as she gyrated her hips swiftly and swayed her belly about. Her hands reached behind her for a moment until she brought them forward to whip off her top, her browned breasts bouncing in their freedom. Her pale nipples already hard with excitement stood out proudly for all to see. While shaking that shapely ass to them, she cupped her breasts lovingly as a woman would giving herself pleasure privately. Her hands left her breasts and caressed her body down her slender sides and toned belly to her feather bottom. Kendra's fingers teasingly rubbed her cloth covered mound as she looked to everyone with a "please come fuck me now" look. Oh the temptation, Blaze though as he shivered in awe. Swiftly untying the string holding it, she whipped off the bottom to toss it away and reveal that sweet shaven pussy every man there desired. She winked to all present and gave her full ass a swift smack that filled the air to the hooting approval of everyone. Looking to him now, Kendra smiled in the most evil manner and crooked a finger for him to come to the stage. He was unsure though as he knew the bouncers would be on him an instant. That is, until he felt Big Papa's approving clap on the shoulder and laughing shove forward. Blaze stumbled out of his chair right up to the stage. He looked up to the feathered goddess staring down at him now with both hands on her cocked hips. Kendra smirked down to him as she swayed her hips around while slowly drawing down into a crouch. He felt her hands suddenly seize his shirt and pull his face right between her large brown tits. He was surprised and suddenly felt her press both her breasts together on each side of his face in a mind-blowing tit-to-face rub. Her breasts fell away as she dropped her hands. Blaze looked up to her in astonishment and she simply winked in return. She twisted her chest back and forth so that her full breasts bounced against his face. If he wasn't a breast man before tonight, he was now! He was only vaguely aware of the roaring applause from the other men and women. She simply laughed in delight as she bent down his ear. "I hope you enjoyed that my dear stud. Meet me upstairs after this dance because I'm going to need a good... loooong.. hard fucking," she whispered sexily into his ear. With another laugh she shoved him back lightly before rising to her feet once again. Kendra waved her hand towards the back of the stage where some bouncers now brought out a small tub. They placed it down at the end of the stage before jumping down off stage. Amongst the flickering magic lights, the succubus twirled about before stepping into the shallow tub. She lowered herself gently into a crouch and moved her hips back and forth very suggestively. Movement drew Blaze's eyes to a couple of the other female dancers walking out to her with a few buckets. Kendra now kneeled in the tub with her arms raised high as if the jungle queen were beseeching her gods for something. The first female upraised the bucket and to everyone's delight, poured shining massage oil onto the kneeling demon. The liquid splashed onto her full brown breasts and rolled down her belly to her legs. Kendra closed her eyes as her hands came down to rub the oil into her breasts, making them glisten erotically in the flickering lights. The other female raised her bucket. Kendra pulled and toyed with her hard nipples and arched her body upwards into the now pouring waterfall of oil soaking her perfect body. Kendra moaned audibly as she was completely covered and scintillating sexily from her neck on down in oil. Her hands frantically massaged her breasts as she pleasured herself in front of them all. Her right hand slid down her body to her pussy to rub it tenderly. Her moan joined the music in filling the air as she spread her outer cunt lips to where all could see her obvious arousal. With a lusty groan, she slid a finger into the wet pussy and pumped it in and out quickly. THUD! THUD! THUD! That and many more were heard as half the men in the audience dropped or fell back out of their chairs with geyser nosebleeds. Her vanilla bright lips smirked at the sight as she brought that finger up to lick her juices as the song ended. The wet demon stood and blew a kiss to the roaring applause before turning to strut to the back of the stage and disappear from sight. Blaze looked over to Big Papa who was standing and clapping himself. The older man look over to him with a grin. "I have never seen her dance as hard as that in all the time she's been here. And the oil was something else wasn't it? When she said this dance was meant for you, she wasn't kidding you lucky dog!" Big Papa said with a laugh. Blaze could only nod in a daze as most of the blood in his body was no longer in the coherent thinking area. The familiar figure of the demoness was soon visible to him as she made her way through the crowded tavern wearing only a white robe. As she passed near him, he saw her cast him a knowing glance before she moved on and soon was climbing the stairs to her room. Clearing his throat, the young warrior rose from his seat. Bowing to Big Papa, he wished the owner a good night. He turned and quickly made his way towards those rooms, knowing that the succubus was not one to be denied.... **************** The young warrior knocked on the door to Kendra's room as soon as he reached it. "Come on in, Blaze!" He heard her yell to him. Opening the door, he stepped in quickly and closed it behind him. He turned around to the room before he froze in mid-step. Deja Vu! The exotic beauty was once again relaxing in that very luxurious tub wearing only the steamy water about her body. Her eyes now held that familiar hungry look as she smiled devilishly to him. Blazing Glory Ch. 03 "Get those clothes off and come on in, my young stallion," she cooed dreamily. All blood drained from his face and went straight to his pants that now contained the raging beast within. The beast! Oh how he LOVED this woman! Kendra laughed in amusement as clothes soon filled the air with the human blur in the mad dash. Taking the small steps two at a time, Blaze then hopped into the large tub big enough for four. Kendra's laugh turned into a startled and amused squeal as she was splashed from his sudden entrance. His head poked above the surface as he looked up to her. He found the succubus smirking down to him from where she sat, water dripping from her elegant face and dampened hair. Raising a slender brow, she leaned back comfortably as those hungry eyes took him and his body in as if seeing them for the first time. "So... Did you enjoy my dance for you?" she whispered softly. That special smile spread across those full, soft vanilla lips of hers when he nodded vigorously that he did. "That is good to know, Richard. I gave it my all for you in that dance." Blaze grinned as he moved over to sit next to her, the steamy waters sloshing about. "I haven't seen too many dances so far in my life, but that was without a doubt the best one ever. I am sure all the fellows downstairs would agree wholeheartedly." Her slender hand came up out of the water to rest against his chest. "And did my performance...," she whispered as her fingers lightly danced down his chest, "make your hot for my body?" The succubus's hand waltzed below the waterline before he felt her hand grasp his rock hard cock. Her tongue slid across her lips as she looked down to what her hand felt. "So it seems that it did," she chuckled softly. Her red head wings sprung into view as she gave him a fanged smile. "Then come get me! I'm all yours!" Those hungry green eyes. Her inviting smile. The wet body just begging to be touched. How could he say no!? He turned to the eager demoness and kissed her soft lips. A lusty growl of approval answered his kiss as her tongue flickered over his lips before nibbling on them hotly. Her nails drug their way slowly up his back as they kissed each other with wild passion. The demoness was working his cock expertly with her hand beneath the water as she moved her fist about it up and down with twisting motions. She let go of it to caress the sensitive flared cockhead to his groaning pleasure. Kendra's hand was driving him crazy and he decided turnabout was fair play right now. His hands slid up out of the water to glide over her wet breasts. Squeezing the firm tits, he grinned as he heard her gasp in response. His fingers walked across the brown flesh of her breasts to her pale nipples to roll them about as they perked up in her excitement. The succubus moaned sensually against him as his fingers pinched and tugged at those sensitive buds. The demoness growled to him as the hunger grew hotter in those green emeralds, "Get your cute ass out of the water now! I want to taste you." Blaze stood up in the tub to where his cock swayed right in front of her at eye level. With a hungry groan, the sexy succubus leaned forward to run her tongue all about his cockhead in swirling motions. She relished the sweet taste of her lover as she moved her head underneath and slowly run her tongue from the base up the entire length back up to the head. She repeated these long teasing licks as her hands gently massaged and tugged on those cum-heavy balls of his. The young man's knees began to get shaky as the feelings roaring through him from her tongue and hands were mind-blowing. Smirking up to him, her green eyes stared into his as she finished another lick before taking the tip of his cock into her mouth. Sucking it gently, she even nipped gently at the tip of the rod with her teeth to draw a surprised gasp from him. Kendra chuckled as she took more of him into her mouth as she sucked. Her soft vanilla lips stretched about his girth as she bobbed her head up and down upon him with fingers still teasing his balls. Blaze could only do his best in concentrating to keep standing there as the sexual bliss Kendra was giving him was overwhelming. The most beautiful woman in all the lands kneeled before him, sucking him off for all she was worth as her large glistening wet tits bounced very slightly with her rapid bobbing. She would get him up to the point to where he was about to blow his load into her mouth so many times but she would draw her mouth off of him quickly and work him with her hands. She would always have that knowing smile as she kept him from his desired release. He was almost to the point of begging her to let him cum. Drawing off of him with a loud wet pop, the wet demoness turned about in the tub to face away from him on her knees. Leaning forward she rested her arms on the outside edge of the tub as her perfect ass stared right at him. "Mount me, Blaze. Please. Fuck me oh so hard from behind. I need your hot cock in my pussy noooow!" she crooned softly over her shoulder to him. "Damn you're so hot Kendra," he exclaimed as he moved up to her offered rear. Holding his cock in one hand, Blaze guided himself to her pussy and slowly pushed into her hot depths. Kendra gave a low scream of pleasure as he pushed his entire length slowly into her always-tight twat until he finally was fully into her. He began to slowly thrust himself in and out of her cunt, hearing her constant growls of intense ecstasy. Kendra pressed her face into her folded arms as she rocked with the thrusts. His cock felt so hot inside her. Fucking Abyss it felt so good. So perfectly full! Her cunt muscles squeezed and spasmed around his big rod. She laughed softly in delight when she heard him cry out when she did that. This encouragement only made him drive into her faster. Kendra met each of his thrusts with ones of her own back towards him. The warm water in the bath began to slosh back and forth with the fervent fucking of the couple. Above the splashing, the loud slaps of his hips smacking up against her firm ass could be heard rapidly. Both were going at it as hard and fast as they could now in a race to see who would cum first. Each were determined to hold out as long as possible as the pleasure seared their bodies to the very soul. Kendra felt the burning ecstasy within her cunt growing rapidly. She knew she had lost the race as she screamed at the top of her lungs as stars exploded into her vision. Her intense orgasm rocketed through her entire body as she coated the wonderful cock with her cum. He could only hold on for the ride as her cunt desperately clenched at him with her hot juices leaking out into the bathwater. Blaze watched Kendra pound her fist down repeatedly as multiple mini-orgasms rippled through her like aftershocks of an earthquake. Seconds passed before the succubus finally relaxed visibly but trembling in her post titanic climax exhaustion. It was then that he looked down at her perfect ass. Her round, firm butt that men would die to just grasp to take a squeeze. The idea formed into his head as an evil smile formed on his lips. This was going to be fun! Kendra struggled to regain her composure after that huge multiple orgasm as her breath steadied. Through it all, she hadn't felt him cum inside her. He still felt full hard inside her and was now slowly pulling it out. A low moan escaped from her as the cock slid back against her sensitive cunt. With a slick pop, he was out of her and leaving her feeling an aching void where he should be. Just then she felt something poke against her ass. He was still grinning like a madman as he pressed the cockhead against her small little asshole. She whipped her head back to stare at him in wide-eyed shock over her shoulder. "N-no! You can't! I've never done it there before! A succubus never takes it in the ass!" she whined pleadingly to him. A small scream escaped her as the rod, wet with her own juices, slowly pushed its head into her rear. Clenching her ass about it to prevent it, she glared back at him now. "You wouldn't! You wouldn't dare, RICHAAAARRD!" She screamed his name as he thrust himself suddenly and fully into that tight ass. Her whole body just froze in tension as her hands gripped the edge of the tub. Kendra was experiencing feelings she'd never felt before after he took her anal virginity. It certainly burned a little bit from the sudden intrusion, but it felt so different. That burning began to turn into the burning of red heated desire. Her ass muscles clenched at the intruder as she got used to it. "Oh...Oh... Oh fuck! What have you done to me, Richard?" she groaned as her ass felt even more sensitive to his cock than her own hot pussy. With a groan, she pushed herself back against him to get more of him inside her clenching ass. Blaze was sweating profusely in concentration as he desperately tried not to lose his load. Her ass was so tight and hot. It was spasming all around his cock like crazy. It felt so damn good. He heard Kendra moan softly as she pushed herself back against him. Obliging her desire, he pushed himself fully into her firm ass. With hands gripping her waist, he slowly began to pump in and out of that grasping hole that was trying to always suck him back in. Her low moans began to grow into sensual wails of bliss as the feelings exploded through her. He was fucking her ass. She couldn't believe she let him put it there but thank all the dark lords and demons of the Abyss she did. It felt so fucking goooood! "YES! FUCK MY ASS YOU WONDERFUL SON OF A BITCH! POUND IT! REAM MY ASS WITH IT! JUST FUCK MY ASS AND DON'T YOU EVER STOP!!!" Just like with her cunt, the two of them were soon meeting each other's thrusts fast and hard as her ass was finally used to the penetration. Kendra was screaming as she was cumming in nonstop orgasms as she thrust back against him, her large tits swaying back and forth just above the water. Blaze was grunting with every slam of his cock into her, giving her every bit of strength he did as he fucked her ass. But he had already been at the cliff's edge for too long and he just couldn't hold back anymore as he went over the edge. Kendra felt her lover tense as he thrust frantically into her firm butt. He was cumming! In her ass! That unbelievable thought made her scream at the very top of her lungs as she had the most mind-blowing orgasm so far this night! "RICHAAAAAARRD! CUM IN MY ASS! FILL ME FULL WITH THAT WHITE JIZZ YOU HOT FUCKING MAAAAAN!!" she screamed sensually. His body was not going to listen to him even if he told it not to. His hard pole jerked and spurt load after load up into that hungry, cock-milking asshole. Both of them cried out as they shared each other's mutual climax at the same time before they came crashing down from the mountain tops of ecstasy. Sliding out of her ass with an even louder pop than her cunt, Blaze leaned back into the water now as he closed his eyes. He soon felt her body up against his and her lips kissing him tenderly as if in thanking him. His arms wrapped about her as she laid her head exhaustedly against his chest. Together they relaxed there for a good part of the night. The following day they had once again set out on the road, heading northeast of Aidan this time. Blaze didn't know where they were going. He was simply following the path in hopes of finding more adventures to find. Kendra walked beside him, fervent as ever to not leave his side. Something odd caught his eye though as they came upon being an hour's walk from the city they left. "Kendra, are you feeling alright? You're walking kind of funny," he said looking to the succubus. BAM!!! Blaze lay there on the ground seeing stars as the dust settled. Kendra stalked onward with a bow-legged gait grumbling darkly to herself. "Fucking asshole," she growled to herself before she froze. Her hand went back to grip her shapely ass with a pained groan before moving forward again. She just had to of reminded herself....... **************** The lump on his head eventually went back down over the next few days they journeyed together. Fortunately, Kendra's temper was even shorter lived and soon she was arm-in-arm with him as they walked down the path. They were now in the northern reaches of Quinlan. The border of the kingdom of Kozue lay not far off to the north and the far east country of Shoushan laying further away. The lands they now tracked through were heavily forested with many rolling hills making the trek more difficult. These were the foothills of the great Eshkol Mountains off to the north. The bright and sunny day above did not reach the traveling companions beneath the canopy of the woods. The array of beams of light shining through into the darkness was a beautiful display of nature, but Blaze concentrated more on their surroundings. He didn't like how there were so many shadows in which someone or something could lurk within. Kendra seemed to be sense is uneasiness with understanding, her own bright emeralds glancing about as well with her sharp eyesight. But sight wasn't the sense to bring him to a halt. Kendra stopped with him, her eyes suddenly more alert and glancing about, "What is it, Blaze?" He raised his hand gently in signal to ask her to be quiet for just a moment. Straining his hearing to listen within the peaceful quiet of the woods, the young warrior stood there as still as stone. He heard nothing for a few moments until he finally heard what had initially caught his attention. A very distant but obvious wailing of someone in great distress. By the sounds of the cries, they were in pain and fear for their life. "Come on! This way!" he shouted to the demoness before taking off the path through the woods. He heard Kendra easily keeping up with his as he dashed through the woods. It was a dangerous pace he was setting through the hilly forest with roots and ruts everywhere ready to break an ankle or twist a leg with one misplaced step. So his eyes watched the ground before him before he would place any step there, relying on his hearing to keep him in the right direction as the cries grew louder with every step. Blaze slid on the slick forested floor covered with leaves as he came upon a small clearing where there were no trees. In the distance, he could see many homes with chimney's leaving wispy smoke trails leading up to the canopy. The wooded houses looked to be simple and placed so as not to obstruct the trees of the forest they resided in. A high pitched scream drew his gaze towards his right where he saw a big cage made of hard black iron. Through those thick bars, he saw the crouched form of a creature. A tiger! He'd seen a few roaming the grasslands along the coastline at home and knew them to be the fiercest of creatures when on the hunt. But why would a tiger, native only to the grasslands of Quinlan, be all the way out here in northern Quinlan? He looked closer and gasped in surprise. Since when did tigers have dark grey fur that was almost black and orange stripes? His mind reeled at the sudden reversal of coloring that shouldn't be. That is when it turned its head towards them and he saw those golden eyes brimmed with tears pleading for help. Kendra gasped herself as she saw what he did now, "A lycan!" Looking over the caged creature more carefully now, he saw the shapely figure of a woman to rival Kendra's own but covered entirely in fur. He could see the orange stripes running down her body much in the way of a tiger's since she had not a stitch of clothing on her. Her tail swayed about in frantic fright as she crouched trying to protect herself. Her fur-covered face was more feline than human. Bright, wavy orange hair cascaded down her back. He'd heard myths about the existence of lycans. Especially the attractive kind that huddled there before his eyes, a myth no longer. A catwoman! Looking around the cage in the direction she had her back turned, he finally saw the caged catwoman's source of distress. A group of teenage boys and girls gathered together ten feet from the cage. Many were throwing rocks and sticks into the cage and yelling insults at her. "You filthy animal! Take this," yelled a boy as he rocketed a large rock into the cage. A girl beside him threw her rock shortly after him screaming, "Where is he?! I want him back right now!" Most of the projectiles where striking true into the fur and hair of the catwoman, making her cry out in pain and whimpering. Seeing the poor feline creature suffering so much made his blood begin to burn hotly. How could they do this to her? He didn't know what crime the catwoman had committed, but she was helpless! There was nothing right about hurting someone like this. There was no honor in it! No honor at all! His anger burned all the more hotly as he looked to the hateful glares of the teenagers. "Blaze! No! Stay out of this. It doesn't involve us," Kendra said trying to grasp his arm in preventing what he was already doing. Her hand grasped air as he dashed forward quickly to place himself between the mob and the cage. He grunted when he felt a rock slam into his stomach, causing him to nearly double over in pain. He up righted himself and spread his arms out protectively. The throwing stopped as the teenagers looked at him in dismay that he would step in front of such a barrage. He heard the pained whimpering behind him stop. "Stop this! All of you! There is no honor is hurting someone who is helpless as she is! All of you should be ashamed!" he yelled at them with glaring anger, "How would you feel if you were in her position!?" They whispered amongst themselves for a few seconds before a small girl ran back towards the forest village. The oldest boy there turned to look back towards Blaze. "Who are you? What do you want with us here?" "Isn't that clearly obvious? I want this cruelty to stop!" he said frowning. "Well it won't! You're just a filthy animal lover aren't you?" the boy said with such pure hatred that it shocked him. The boy quickly picked up another rock and hurled it at him with all his youthful strength. Blaze didn't move one inch as that rock sailed towards his face. He would gladly take the impact to prevent more painful suffering of the female lycan behind him. The thunderous crack of a whip filled the air as he saw the whip hit the rock with such force that it simply turned to dust in midair. All the eyes of the youngsters fell upon the gorgeous woman in leather that strode up to stand beside him. All the boys stared at her with wide-eyed awe and tented pants from instant hard-ons. The rest of the girls simply stared at her jealously before a few of them slapped their boyfriends upside their heads. Kendra, seeing she was once again the center of attention, smirked with a knowing look. Blaze sighed and shook his head. By now, the girl had returned with a host of men armed with pitch-forks and clubs. His frown only grew more as the situation looked to only be worsening. He didn't want to have to kill these people to protect the defenseless lycan. Even though they greatly outnumbered them, he knew Kendra alone could finish them easily. But that path was unacceptable. A middle-aged man pushed his way through the crowd before walking up to Kendra and Blaze. In contrast to the youths, he regarded them calmly. "What do you want here? I hear from my daughter that you are trying to protect the beast," he said. Blaze nodded, his anger disappearing to allow him to calm a bit. "Yes, I was. I do not know the crime of this woman behind me, but to torture her as by stoning her half to death is unspeakable. It holds no moral grounds to do such." "I assure you I was unaware of the children's actions. But know this vile bitch is responsible for the disappearance of many men from Jolon, our village," the man said with growing anger now. Blazing Glory Ch. 03 "It's not true! I didn't do anything wrong! I'm innocent,' a light voice cried out from behind him. He looked over his shoulder to the catwoman. She gripped the bars as she looked directly into his eyes pleadingly. Those golden eyes held such bright innocence that it caused him to wonder if she could even comprehend the act of doing anything wrong. Her whiskers twitched nervously as she looked between him and the mob that just as soon would kill her. Still looking into the catwoman's eyes, he nodded, "What is your name?" She smiled a little as she wiped away a few tears with her hand, "Nadine Teigra." He returned her smile with one of is own, "I'm Blaze and this is Kendra." Looking back to the man, he smile turned upside down quickly. "You will refer to her as Nadine or Ms. Teigra. If I hear one more person call her an animal or beast... Well, let's just say you don't want to find out. Now tell me how you came to the conclusion that Nadine is guilty." The middle-aged man looked from him to Kendra. She smirked wickedly as she held her whip casually around her neck with both hands. The man swallowed visibly before looking back to Blaze. "One of the men went missing yet again a few days ago. His wife told us he was going to the Ghoul Bat Cave area to gather some of the fruits that grow in the area. We searched the area until we found his shirt on the ground. We saw tracks that led away that were his and another set of tracks that weren't human. We followed them until we came upon that be... Came upon Nadine. We demanded to know where she had been taking our friends to, but she proclaimed her innocence as she still does. So we captured her and are keeping her here until she tells us where." Nadine sobbed behind him, "But I'm telling you I don't know anything about this. I was just out for a long walk from Azami." "As you always say. That lycan filled city is full of you no good furries. Always looking down your noses at us. Always thinking you are so much better than us!" he snapped back at her. Those hateful comments seemed to sting Nadine and bring more tears to her eyes. Frowning, Blaze held up his hand to stop the tirade of insults from all the others that followed. Kendra narrowed her green eyes slightly, "But by your story, you never saw her commit the act herself correct?" The man was taken aback by Kendra's question that Blaze had been pondering himself. The man struggled to find the right words before he burst out in visible frustration, "No! We didn't. But the tracks led right to her and they were very fresh. It's the only lead we've had during this crisis!" Blaze couldn't help but sigh at this messy situation. He'd sprinted headlong right into a bad situation with no hopeful solution within sight. He glanced back to Nadine thoughtfully. Hope filled her bright golden eyes as she looked to him. He nodded to her before looking back to the leader. "Alright then. Right now I believe in Nadine. I believe her to be innocent because I have reason to doubt her guilt. The circumstances of her being in the same area could have been mere coincidence," he said to the disturbed whispers of the mob, "However, let me try and help you find out who the true culprit is. You have the right to detain her as a suspect, but I will not allow any more torture of Nadine to happen! If she really is guilty, why lower yourselves to her level?" The large group looked about uncomfortably and the youths looking especially ashamed. The man cleared his throat and nodded in agreement, "That sounds reasonable and we are truly glad to have your assistance. You are welcome in Jolon, Blaze and Kendra." "Thank you, but for now I think Kendra and I will camp out not too far from here," he said with a pleased smile. He was glad to have found a temporary truce in this situation. The leader nodded and turned around to leave, waving the others to disperse back to the village too. **************** It was a chilly night in the village of Jolon. Being much higher in elevation than most places in Quinlan, it tended to have cooler summers and harsher winters. But the cool night air didn't chill Nadine Teigra any. Her soft fur kept her warm enough even without any clothing. However, she still hugged her arms about herself shivering. The cold hatred in the eyes of all those humans chilled her to the very bones. She had always heard stories of human mobs and the terrible things they did in their hateful rampages. The catwoman sniffed and wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. Why did they have to be so cruel? Her body ached from the places those jagged rocks pelted into her body. She had done nothing to these people. Mulling these questions over in her head, she remembered that frightful moment only a few days before. Humming a light tune to herself, she was walking through the nearby woods to gather the well-known healing herbs that grew in abundance there. "There she is! Get her!" a voice cried out. Her ears perked up as she straightened up to see what was going on. Looking around, she saw herself surrounded by large men armed with pitch forks, swords, and nets. The stern looks they had made her hackles rise in fear. She dropped her basket and made to bolt. Nets filled the air, however, and caught her in their tangled web. She hissed and mewed her protests loudly as she struggled, but they didn't listen to her as they drug her back into the village. For the past few days, she had been treated cruelly verbally and physically. They fed her only a few times during the day. The problem is what they did feed her looked to be only measly scraps. She was tired, hungry, and emotionally exhausted to the point of frequent outbursts of panic and sobbing. That was until the stranger had shown up. What was his name again? It was Blaze. He was the first and only human to listen to her words. The first to treat her as a person and not as a beast. Since his warning to the villagers, she had not been harassed the rest of the day. Nadine liked him already. The catwoman's ears perked as she heard the small rustle of leaves in the quiet night. Someone was coming. Holding back her sob of fear, she quickly moved to the opposite corner. Her golden eyes were wide with fear as she watched the shadowy figure move towards the cage. "Nadine?" asked a familiar voice, "Is everything alright? You look terrified." "Blaze? Is that really you?" The figure stepped more into the dim moonlight to reveal its identity. It was him! Blaze kneeled down beside the cage before dropping back to sit there. The fear leaving her quickly, the catwoman crawled over to him with her tail swaying. She sat right next to him, looking him over with her cat eyes. For a man, he was actually pretty cute. That thought made her smile and giggle a little. "Thank you for helping me today. You didn't have to... but you put yourself in harm's way anyway. You don't even know me," she said. On the other side of the bars, Blaze simply shrugged as he leaned against the cage, "As I said before, what they were doing wasn't right. I wasn't going to stand for it and let it pass." The catwoman continued to smile as she studied the human man so close to her now. He was unlike any human she had ever met so far in her life. He seemed like such a good person. And all this time, her people had told her how humans always destroyed what they feared or failed to understand, including the lycans. But she could see how Blaze was special. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek softly through the bars. Blaze blinked and turned to look at her in startlement. Nadine simply giggle and smiled in return to him. His confused expression was soon replaced by a smile as he turned to face her more. "I have heard some things about your people, but not much. I'm still new to seeing the wonders of this world. Seeing you is amazing to me and I'm curious about you and your race. Where do you call home? What is your culture like?" Seeing the honest curiosity in his expression, Nadine couldn't help but give in to a fit of giggling. How strange yet funny this man was. So powerfully commanding earlier in her defense and now curious like a newborn child looking about the world. "Well, as you know, I am one of the 'lycans' as you humans choose to call us. I'm a catwoman," she said with a big smile, revealing sharp fangs like one would expect of a feline. He looked her over once again before nodding, "So are all lycans just like you?" Nadine blinked as he asked that question. She forgot to cover that part. "No, they're not all like I am though. There are so many others. There are lycans that resembles wolves, bears, snakes, birds and so many other normal animals. Most of us coexist peacefully together in a small land north of here." "I remember you mentioning it earlier. Azami. I've never heard of it before though." "Yes. That's because it's not very big and we reside just within the border of Kozue. We normally keep to ourselves and most people of both lands seem to accept that. The only ones that don't are the humans around these areas. They are unsure about us and because of that, they are fearful. There have also been misunderstandings from a few human hunters having killed a few deer and stag lycans that were out in the woods. So relations between us have always been very precarious. But we've always been a peaceful race with no evil intention" She sighed softly, "That's similar to what happened to me. I was out gathering herbs when they surrounded me and captured me. They accused me of this without even hearing a word of what I said in my defense!" Blaze remained silent as he thought this over. Her tail swayed side to side softly as she watched him, enjoying his friendly company. "I can understand now why they seized you on the spot then, Nadine. They rushed to judgment with their already hostile feelings against your people. They judged you guilty without even bothering to see who you even were. I don't know you that well yet Nadine, but you don't seem to be like the kind to do any mischief at all. You have to be innocent. I just need to find out who the real culprit is," he said. He looked to her, "Did you happen to hear any information from the villagers on what the kidnapper may look like?" "Yes. One man said he saw the shadow of it and that the figure had a tail," she said as she rolled her eyes. Her bushy tail flicked up through the bars to tickle his nose, "And what lycan doesn't have a tail, right?" Blaze sneezed and laughed at her jest. The sound of a snapping twig drew both their attentions away suddenly. "Damn.... They haven't killed you yet? Stupid humans are so unreliable," growled the voice as the figure stepped out from the bushes. Both Blaze and Nadine slowly rose to their feet as the stranger approached. Both quickly noticed the figure having an extended shadow that swayed behind. When the figure stepped into the light, Blaze couldn't help but stare in shock. At first, he swore he was looking at a gypsy with the elaborate colorful clothing and jeweled headscarf adorning her head. Only thing was, this gypsy had silver-colored furry tail! Nadine hissed in anger as she knew what this woman was. "Nadine... Who or what is she?" Blaze asked. "A foxwoman! Her race is one of the few that we don't associate with. They think they're the superior of all lycan races," the catwoman said in disgust. Sure enough the woman had fox ears poking hot of her short light silvery hair and fox tail waving behind her. Her face was very much human-like though as she smiled arrogantly to them. Nadine knew this foxwoman was looking down her nose at two 'inferior creatures' in her pompous attitude. "That we are you filthy furball. Honestly, look at yourself and then me. Clearly I am so much more beautiful than you are," the foxwoman said with an arrogant air about her. The catwoman hissed angrily as her fur stood out. "Who are you and what do you want?" Blaze demanded as his hand reached up to grasp the hilt of one of his blades. Her grey eyes turned to gaze in disdain to the human man. She waved her hand towards him as she chanted some words Nadine couldn't understand. The young warrior froze for an instant before his hand slowly dropped away from his swords. He was oddly silent and had a glazed look about his eye. "Blaze? Are you okay?" Nadine asked frantically. She darted in her cage over to him and reached through the bars to wave a hand in front of his face. Not even a blink! The catwoman turned and hissed angrily at the foxwoman, "You! What did you do to him!? "Same thing I did to the other humans. I cast an enamoring spell over him. And my name is Aurora Talasi, you stupid wench. Not 'you'," she growled angrily in response before regaining her haughty attitude. "It makes no difference that you know who I am or what I'm doing. They won't listen to you no matter what you say. These humans will give in to hatred soon enough and kill you. Your death will enrage the lycans to respond in kind and soon there will be a small war between the humans and your inferior cousins." Nadine could only stare at the foxwoman in horror, "But why? Why would you want to do this?" "Higher orders of course. But I also want to see it myself. Nothing like watching vermin kill each other for entertainment. This Blaze is kind of cute though for a human though. I think I will keep him. Always wanted to have a pet of my own." Aurora laughed softly as she beckoned Blaze towards her. The entranced man moved away just before Nadine could make her frantic grab for him through the bars. Together, the two of them walked off into the darkness of night, soon lost to her sight. The catwoman cried in frustration. She cried that she was being used in a ploy to destroy her own people. That she had failed to protect a newfound friend hurt even worse. All because of this damn cage and that... that... that BITCH! Nadine hiccupped in startlement through her tears. She'd never been so angry before. She had to do something but what could she do now? **************** Kendra opened her eyes from where she lay. Something wasn't right. Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes sleepily and glanced around. She knew it didn't feel right to sleep alone without her arm around her man, but this was something else. He had told her to rest for a bit before he went off to speak with that catwoman. He wanted to know more about her and the circumstances of her capture. But he had promised to be back shortly. Looking up to the sky in the clearing, she saw the moon had passed quite a bit to signify she had been asleep for a few hours. The succubus quickly stood to pull her leather coat over herself in the cool night air. She cursed herself for falling asleep so quickly like that before he returned. He better not be fucking around with that furry woman! Just the thought made her huff in anger as she stomped off towards the cage. It took her a few minutes with pushing bushes and branches out of her way to reach the area of the cage. A small cry in the distance caused her to pause. Listening quietly, she heard the cry again from the direction of the cage in front of her. The image of the catwoman butt up against the bars as her Richard rammed his cock into her from behind through the bars filled her mind. Grinding her teeth in heated anger, she quickly moved towards the cries. As she got closer, the cries became clearer to her. They weren't passionate cries of getting screwed wonderfully but desperate cries for help! And by the high pitch, it had to be that Nadine. Why didn't she hear her lover? The succubus now ran towards the cries and soon burst out into the clearing with the cage. "Help! Please somebody! Won't anyone listen to me? Please help!" Nadine yelled as she clung tightly to the bars with her hands. Her ears perked as her golden eyes turned to see Kendra approaching, "Y-you... you're that woman!" "Kendra," the succubus nodded as she reached the cage, "What's wrong? And where's Blaze?" "That's what I've been screaming about for the past few hours! She took him! That damn woman took him and I couldn't do anything," the catwoman sniffed. Not again. Curse the Fates and their obsession in trying to take him away from her. And another woman at that! She growled, "Who and how?" "A snotty, arrogant foxwoman! She cast a spell over Blaze and took him! She's behind all of this! The disappearances of the human men and using me as a scapegoat! She wants the villagers to kill me and start a war!" Kendra closed her eyes as she absorbed all this information that the catwoman threw at her as quick as lightning. Her words made sense. The villagers from earlier looked more than eager to make a pincushion out of this kitty. The succubus dropped out her whip as she glared angrily. Nadine yelped in startlement at her actions and quickly backed away from the demoness in fear. "Relax," the succubus said in cool calm emotion as she narrowed her green eyes. She whipped her long weapon over her head in a circle before he muscles tensed. With quick speed and precision, her arm jerked in several motions in various directions before halting. Multiple booming cracks of her whip filled the air before as many metal bars fell away to the ground. Their broken ends were glowing hot red as if sliced through. Nadine stared at her in complete shock with wide golden eyes. "W-what are you? I couldn't even see the whip at all!" Shaking her, head Kendra coiled her whip quickly before putting it back to where it belonged, "Right now is not the best time. Save it for later and come on. Tell me what this Aurora looks like and which direction the headed." The catwoman nodded and picked up her small pack inside the cage before hopping nimbly out through the hole in the cage. Landing upon free soil, she took off quickly into the woods in the direction they had left with the succubus right beside her. **************** Aurora couldn't believe those villagers were so unreliable. Humans were nothing but stupid beasts that loved to kill anything, even each other. She had let the humans catch a glimpse of her. She had let them give chase after her into the forest. She had led them right to the first lycan she had seen wandering the woods as usual. She had done her part perfectly. All the humans had to do was one simple part and kill that lycan. But they hadn't! The foxwoman growled low in frustration. That catwoman's death was key to everything she'd worked for so far. Taking a deep breath to steady herself and calm down, she knew those villagers would kill soon. Their hatred had been kindling for years and only a small spark would start the wildfire. Everything would fall into place and both herself and Koas would enjoy a wonderful show in the slaughter to come. She looked behind her to the human man following her. He still had that glazed eye look as his eyes never left her. Her enamoring spell made him her slave. A slave to blind love and obedience. Most of all, he was her pet forever. They had been walking now for a while and she knew they were getting close, but she was bored and tired of the silence. "What is your name, man?" she asked without looking over her shoulder. "Blaze, Lady Aurora," he said. She laughed and shook her head, "Blaze?" "Yes, Lady Aurora." "Human warriors and their desire for intimidating nicknames," she snorted as she rolled her eyes. She didn't see him shake his head in that her accusation of him was wrong, but no verbal response as she did not ask for such reasons for the name. A small wood cabin in the middle of all the abundant trees leapt into sight before her eyes. Home sweet home. As they approached, she saw a large number of men, numbering around twenty, in simple clothing approach her with clubs and wooden spears in their hands. Smirking darkly as they approached, she stood there confidently with her hand resting on her hip. These men had faces without emotion and a glazed look in their eyes. Blazing Glory Ch. 03 "Well hello my little guardians. I see you protected my home well enough," she laughed as they all kneeled before her. Aurora glanced back to her new pet with a sly foxy smile, "Here are all those villagers you wanted to find. Pity is that they, too, are under my spell. Humans really are good for only two things surprisingly. They make good guardians that are easily enslaved." The foxwoman then sighed softly, "But when it comes to foxmen, the only thing BIG about them are their egos. But human men are a different story. Mmmm. They are more than adequately equipped to handle my physical needs one, two, or even three at a time. On some nights, it is fun to let the whole group screw me all night long. I hope you are as gifted in 'equipment' as they are, my pet." She snapped her fingers quickly and the men began to disperse back into the woods to guard their mistress. Still looking at her new pet, she remembered one more rule for him. "One more thing, 'Blaze'. Do not wander too far off around here. I have.... other protection than these men lurking about. I would loathe to lose such a cute one so quickly." Blaze nodded to her in a dull haze of obedience. Signaling for him to follow her, she walked up to her cabin. Opening the door, she motioned him inside quickly. Stepping inside after him, she pulled off her head scarf and lightly tossed it aside onto the cubbard next to the door. Her humble abode had a spicy scent to the air as the fire within the fireplace illuminated the interior. Wooden furniture occupied much of the single room cabin with a table, chairs, and bed. What was different from normal in her home, though, was the walls inside. Every wall within had shelves on them occupied with all sorts of ingredients of various nature as well as bottled magic potions. Smiling to herself in high pride for her beautiful collection through all her hard work. She watched her pet glance about his new home with smug amusement. Oh how she was glad she chose to investigate her workings this night. She had caught a ripe one indeed! "Blaze! It is time for you to show your mistress your talents. Now turn around. Good boy. Now take off that tunic of yours." She hummed softly to herself in pleasure from what she saw as he took it off. This was one fit hunk of man. Licking her lips hungrily, she knew she was in for a fun night. "Be a good boy tonight and you'll enjoy it too." Blaze watched as Aurora reached behind herself as she unlaced the strings on the back of her dress. After a minute, the loosened dress clung to her body until her hands grabbed it and slowly pushed it down and off her. She tossed it quickly aside and looked back to him, smirking at his wide eyes expression. The confident foxwoman stood before him completely naked. Her tail swayed side to side in growing excitement as silvery-colored nipples poked out from her breasts. Aurora was not like Kendra at all. Her body was more slender in figure with pert teen-like breasts and slim hips. Still, the sight was strangely very erotic to him. He could never imagine a woman's body that was so slender could be so alluring. Coupled with the spell of attraction to her over him, he quickly felt arousal growing in his pants. Why had he thought about this 'Kendra'? Who was that? Confused, the image of enchanting green eyes flashed into his mind a few times. What was going on? The foxwoman couldn't help but let her gaze drop to his groin with a knowing smile. Of course he would be getting excited already when he had such beauty before him. He should be honored to have sex with a superior being such as her. "Take those pants and boots off and get over here, human," she laughed as she strode over to her bed. She hadn't been sitting on the edge of the bed for a moment before the naked man stood before her. She gazed down at his growing cock and pursed her lips in satisfaction. "Oh yes. You look to be more than adequate, my pet. More so than even all my men out there. You're just right." She growled as she felt her pussy begin to moisten in her own arousal. She couldn't take her gaze away from his erection that she needed this night. Leaning forward, she ran her tongue about that flared head of his arousal. Smirking as she heard him moan, she flicked the head with her tongue teasingly before taking him into her mouth. He tasted so wonderful. Growling more in her lust, she sucked on his cock hard as she lowered her mouth further onto him. Feeling him grow more inside her mouth, she worked harder on that cock as her tongue danced about the underside. She gasped and drew off of him when she felt his cockhead press against the back of her throat. Coughing, she rubbed her throat as she glanced up in surprise. She stared right into the raging cockhead in front of her face. She moaned at the sight of his hard rod. It was better than she had originally thought. Just the sight of it as her cunt dripping wet with arousal. She hopped back further onto the bed glared up to him with a growl, "Get your ass and that gorgeous hunk of meat up here NOW! Lay on your back!" With raging hardon standing straight out, he didn't think he could deny her spell or not. He moved onto the bed and lay there ready for her. The foxwoman moved surprisingly fast as she straddled his hips facing away from him. He had a wonderful view of her ass and tail twitching about in anticipation. Yet images flashed into his mind a full tanned ass before him with black bat like wings above upon the lower back. These images confused him yet excited him further still. Aurora was shaking with anticipation. She could care less about his feelings or thoughts right now. She wanted to get as much pleasure from this as possible. The foxwoman spread the lips of her cunt open with one hand as she gripped his rock hard cock in her other hand. With a lusty growl of satisfaction, she drove herself down upon him. She heard him cry out behind her in pleasure as she sank down upon his rod. Biting her lip until then, she now couldn't hold back her own scream as she felt him fill her like no other had. She felt her hips rest against him and realized she had taken him all the way into her. Shivering with the glorious feeling of it, Aurora couldn't help but throw her head back with a howl of satisfaction as her burning body roared quickly into her first orgasm. Her cunt squeezed about him as she coated him with her lycan cum. Gasping for breath, she glanced over her shoulder as she came down for her orgasmic high. Blaze was grimacing as he gripped the bed sheets tightly. Smirking, she knew her cunt squeezing him was driving him almost to cumming. With a sultry moan, the foxy agent began to slowly grind herself back and forth upon him. Her hands ran up her stomach to grip her pert breasts and squeeze them. Feeling that sending waves of pleasure screaming through her, she grabbed her nipples and squeezed them. That elicited another scream from her as she humped her hips back and forth faster as she rode that cock filling her so beautifully. Blaze couldn't help but groan behind her as she moved on his cock, now lewdly grinding her hips around in small circles. She screamed again as her twat spasmed and she came again. Blaze ground his teeth as he felt the hot cunt squeeze and milk his cock for all it was worth in trying to draw out his own cum. He felt himself on the brink of losing that battle when he felt her lift herself off him. Disappointment filled him as he didn't understand what she was doing. He watched the foxwoman turn around and face him, straddling him once more. He felt the hot, wet glove of her pussy engulf him once more as she dropped down with a loud howl. Aurora was now panting with the exertion of having just cum again. Who was this human really? How could a mere man all by himself drive her to three intense climaxes so quickly? She closed her eyes as she sat upon that rod, savoring the feeling as she pondered. She then felt strong, firm hands grip her breasts and squeeze them roughly. Gasping, her eyes darted open to see the human with hungry lust in his own eyes. She jerked as she felt the shock flow through her as he pulled those silvery nipples away from her body. She even yelped in relish as she felt him buck his hips, driving himself up against her of his own will and not her command. Growling, she gave in to the carnal lust and rose up before ramming herself harshly down upon him. She cried out with every thrust as he drove up into her every time she came down. The air was soon filled with the loud wet slaps of their hips meeting each other as both fucked each other at a frantic speed. Aurora was screaming nonstop as she was lost in wave after after wave of orgasm ripping through the shuddering foxwoman. "YEEESS! FUCK YES!!!! SCREW ME YOU DAMN HUMAN BEAST!!!" she howled as she focused driving her twat down on him as fast as she could, "OH!!! OH!! OOOOH!! I'M CUMMING AGAIN!" "Oh gods KENDRA!!" Blaze cried out loud as the foxwoman went screaming mad as she had the most intense orgasm of her life. So intense, she didn't even hear him call out another woman's name. But this time it was finally too much for him as her cunt worked his cock like crazy with its wet suction. His cock jerked inside her and jetted loads of thick jizm up into her. A low, growl came from her as she felt him fill her with his load. She loved the feeling and sat there upon him over the next few seconds, milking his cock for every drop of cum he had. When she felt he had finished, she panted and collapsed on top of him. He had totally lived up to her hopes. She had found her pet and would keep him with her to satisfy her desires whenever she needed him. She would kill the other men now and leave their corpses for the villagers to find. That should be enough to send them off the deep edge and kill that filthy catwoman. Meanwhile, all of Koas's plans would come together and once all was said a done, she and Blaze would be alone together forever. She smirked darkly as she ran her hand along her pet's chest as she drifted off into her exhausted sleep. Her 'pet' stayed awake, however, for a good long time after. He stared up at the ceiling but only saw those heart-melting green eyes stare back at him, even when he closed his own eyes. **************** Sonora stared straight upwards at the Great Boaz Wall. She felt truly out of place, like a fish out of water literally, as she stood at the base of the mountains on the western, desolate side. The mountains rose powerfully straight into the sky so sharply that they truly did look like a wall. She could easily imagine how high they reached into the sky as the snowline began right at the middle of them. Shivering at the sight, she knew it was intimidating to a creature knowing only the sea such as her. The siren sighed as he brushed her long hair away from her face. Standing before a small, fortified door built into the rock face she looked at the gibberish etched into the stone beside it. It was probably their warning to the world to stay out of their territory. But she was here on business. She raised her hand and pounded it upon the door. A slot in the door slid open to where beady yellow eyes peered out at her. "Who the fuck are you? Get lost bitch!" a harsh gravelly voice hollered through the door. She rolled her eyes. Typical. "I am Sonora Keeya, agent of Koas. Word was sent ahead and your king is expecting me. Now open the damn door and let me in!" she said in her melodious voice. Those yellow eyes gave her a once over look before pausing and looking over her again with a lewd look this time. She was have tempted to whip out one of her songs that would make that little brain explode inside the skull. The eyes disappeared quickly and she heard the sound of a number of bolts and locks being unlocked. Slowly the door swung outwards as the guard stepped out to her. Sonora looked down at the small disgusting looking creature. No wonder why so many races didn't like goblins! The goblin guard sneered at her lush, scantily clad body. Sonora now thought she should have worn something less revealing than her usual siren attire. Oh well, she thought. "Are you going to stop gawking and take me to your ruler?" she snapped. With a blink of those beady yellow eyes, the guard grinned knowingly as he turned around and led her inside. The goblin grabbed a torch on the wall and lit the fire. He handed it roughly to her before turning back to secure the entrance. When he was done, the goblin turned about and hastily set off down the tunnel. He didn't need the torchlight as his eyes were suited to the darkness of the underworld. Sonora followed the small creature down carefully as there were rocks here and there as well as weird rock formations on the floors and ceilings that looked like spikes. Walking behind the goblin, Sonora felt uncomfortable in this place. If felt as if she could feel the overbearing pressure of the gigantic mountains of rock over her. Taking in deep, slow breaths, she thought of the ocean and all of its freedom. That helped to ease her as they continued for hours down into the depths of the mountains. Her feet where beginning to get sore when they finally entered some tunnels that had yellow stones in the walls giving off a soft light. "Are we almost there yet?" she said, studying the pretty stones curiously. The goblin nodded without looking back to her, "We're just entering the outskirts of our main territory. The king's hall is not far away from here. We'll be there in a few minutes." Sonora could only sigh impatiently as she continued after the foul creature. She wanted to get this over with and get out of here as soon as possible. As they moved down the lit tunnels and caverns, she noticed more and more goblins wandering about. Hundreds of little beady yellow eyes stared at the hot female with little clothing wandering through. Soon, harsh catcalls and whistles were shot her way. Gritting her teeth angrily, she attempted to keep her composure. After all, why expect anything better from such disgusting things? She and the guard were gathering a following as hundreds upon hundreds of other goblins were now following them. By the sounds of the harsh little voices behind her, they wanted to know what all of this was about. Finally, the goblin guard turned right at a corner. Stepping around after him, she entered a great hall with a ceiling so high that the glowing lights couldn't reach up far enough. This hall was a giant open cavern that could easily hold a couple thousand goblins. At the very opposite end was a small throne raised above the ground with small steps leading up to it. Sitting there was a fat little goblin wearing a lot of rich jewelry about its neck and hands. Crossing the great expanse of the hall took a little more time than she thought. The siren stood before the goblin king as the guard and rest of the entourage of goblins behind her kneeled. Bowing slightly to the fat little greasy creature at first, she lifted her aquamarine gaze to meet his. "Greetings, King Vokgar. I am Sonora Keeya come from Koas as you know." She stiffened slightly as the fat goblin ogled her large breasts openly with a filthy sneer for a few silent moments before finally speaking. "So I know. Tell me. What does the Mistress of Discord want with me and my goblins?" "She, in her wisdom, knows that she needs your assistance if her plans are to succeed. She needs an open path through the Boaz Wall through your tunnels into the other side." King Vokgar leapt up his feet angrily, "Are you and Koas fucking crazy?! That means going through the lands of the dwarves and fighting their whole horde! It's bloody foolhardy!" Sonora smiled at the goblin king's anger and dismay. "Do not worry, King Vokgar. Koas assures you that her plan is divine and perfect. She offers you to join her forces and reap the rewards of the coming victories." Slowly dropping back down onto his throne, he looked to be thinking about it silently for a few moments as the goblin horde behind her muttered to each other and passed the news further back to the others. Vokgar looked at her before barking a gravely laugh. "Hell, why not? Those damn dwarves have been thwarting me for years. It would be nice to kick their asses for once. Count us in." A cry arose from all the goblins in approval of the massacre to come. The king shouted and barked for them all to shut up. Shaking his head, Vokgar looked down at the siren with an evil little grin. "However, I will not join that easily. If Koas is so confident, then I must see so myself in the abilities of one of her agents. If you can pass three tests, then we will throw every goblin at our disposal into Koas's service." Anger boiled up inside of her once again. Tests? Why did she have to do some stupid tests to prove herself and Koas? The name of her mistress should be proof enough for this little sack of grease. But the thought of her failing Koas once more filled the siren with icy cold dread. With a sigh, she nodded her head that she would comply to take these tests. Vokgar grinned evilly, "The first test is for you to fuck every single goblin in this room!" Sonora felt as if he had just sentenced her to die as the huge roar of near a thousand goblins echoed throughout the hall. She felt small hands suddenly seize her breasts as she looked down to see the guard grinning wickedly up at her. His little hands groped and squeezed her large soft tits. She wanted to kill the dirty little mongrel right then, but she couldn't. His hands clawed at her skimpy bikini and ripped it off of her roughly. Her breasts bounced about from the force of it to the hoots and hollers of the goblins that had now encircled them. Whipping out his knife, the guard sliced her skirt off of her. Surrounded by so many goblins, the powder-blue skinned woman of the sea stood completely naked before she was roughly pushed down. The circle about them quickly moved in. Sonora cried out when she felt so many hands pawing and slapping at her tits, ass, and pussy mound. Her blue-green nipples perked against her will as two little mouths took them in. She cried in disbelief that this was happening to her as she felt those sharp little teeth nip at her nipples as they were licked and sucked on. The siren felt hands seize her hips and lift them slightly off the rock floor beneath. Glancing up, she saw the guard with his dirty pants about his ankles. His little red goblin cock stood fully erect and with a wicked upward curve to it as he aimed for her fair pussy. The skinny little rod penetrated her roughly and made her scream. She struggled about but so many hands pinned her where she was as that little cock pistoned quickly in and out of her violated cunt. Nasty name-calling and disgusting descriptions of what was going to be done to her was all she could hear. She felt the goblin hump her more quickly until she felt him cum inside her pussy. She screamed again in anger only to have it choked off as a goblin thrust his red little dick into her pert little mouth. She couldn't believe she had to do this but any thought of failing her mistress terrified her more than her current situation. Choking at first, she finally gave in to them as she sucked on the goblins dirty dick and licking the underside of it. The goblin groaned gleefully and began to face fuck her with short jabbing thrusts of his hips. She felt another one ram its erection into her harshly before it fucked her slickening pussy fast and furiously. Groaning, Sonora couldn't help but feel herself growing hotter no matter how hard she fought it. The goblin in her mouth pulled out and shot its white cum all over her beautiful face and into her green hair at the same time the one in her cunt shot its load into her. This continued on for what seemed like forever as goblin after goblin violated her mouth and twat. They had long ago ceased sucking on her breasts as many stood around her jerking off their little red cocks. They had made it a game of shooting her, but with their cum! Spurt after spurt of ropey cum continued to land on her breasts and stomach until her lush body was fully covered in cum as it dripped slowly off her and pooled about her. Blazing Glory Ch. 03 Her hot body glistened wetly in the soft light as the goblins pulled her up now and sat her down straddling a smirking goblin. Moaning softly, they pushed her down hard and its cock quickly entered her with a wet pop. So much goblin cum was in her pussy already as it leaked out and down her thighs. All the while her burning pleasure kept growing and growing until she began to simply want to reach her orgasm. Nothing else mattered. The siren willingly humped her beautiful ass up and down on that rod passionately as she took another cock into her mouth as it appeared before her. Damn she was so fucking close to cumming! She heard delighted laughter behind her before she felt something poke her rear. Sonora's eyes opened wide as she felt the cock ram into her asshole, past her clenching sphincter and deeply into her hot ass. With a muffled scream, her body shook violently as she came hard as both her asshole and cunthole were fucking rapidly. Like the rushing of a tidal wave, her cum rushed out of her pussy. Sonora had always been proud to be able to have such intense orgasms that she would squirt her cum everywhere. Her pussy juices gushed out to drench the hips of both the goblins. A huge roar of the nasty display came from the surrounding goblins. The sight of her pussy flooding those goblin cocks sent many surrounding goblins jerking off over the edge. Hundreds of loads shot out into the air over her. White strands hit and clung to her hair as more landed all over her hot body in a goblin cum shower. The three goblins she was servicing lost it at the same time as well as both her holes received another injection of goblin protein. The one in her mouth pulled out and sprayed her face with his spurts. On and on the goblin gang bang of the gorgeous siren went on for hours. Sonora lost count of how many orgasms she had until they finally finished with her. She literally had screwed every goblin there. She felt so tired and sore as she lay there in a pool of sticky goblin cum and, to her own shame, a good portion of it her own juices. She weakly rolled over to rise up on her hands and knees. Feeling her legs parted to spread her pussy, she weakly glanced back to see the fat goblin king now naked behind her. She couldn't help but stare at his erection. It was just like him! It was short but incredibly fat in girth. "Time for the second test," Vokgar laughed as he sneered down at her dominantly. "Time to see how far this pussy can stretch!" Sonora gave a low scream as her well-used sensitive cunt was rapidly invaded by that fat cock. Her cunt stretched open wide painfully to try and accommodate it as he plunged in. Oh fuck! It was so damn thick. With a pleased grunt, Vokgar began to push that cock in and out of her with wet sloppy slaps. Her cunt clenched frantically at the huge invader as her legs instinctively spread further apart to grant him deeper access to her. "Yes.... please.... give me more... give me more of that big fat cock," she moaned while not believing what she just said at the same time. Vokgar was already thinking the same as his hands smacked that full beautiful ass. She cried with pain as well as pleasure from the smacks. The goblin's hips were soon moving quickly back and forth as he enjoyed the feel of her tight twat spasming all around him. His subjects cheered him on as his hips smacked against her rear. She was so damn tight about him, he felt he couldn't last much longer. Sonora sobbed softly as she felt him release a torrent amount of white goblin jizz into her already cum filled pussy. The cum oozed back over his cock to drip out of her onto the wet pool below. Vokgar pulled out of her to give his last few spurts onto her pretty ass. The siren simply moaned in utter humiliation. "Now for the final test!" the goblin king laughed. He snapped his fingers as three goblins came up. "Go get the dwarven masterpiece. You two! Put her in the position!" As the one darted away, the two goblins pushed Sonora onto her back with a small splash. Each goblin then grabbed a leg and held it straight up and leaning away. Her pussy was now visible with her legs spread in a 'V' as the third goblin finally returned with something on wheels. It looked odd and had a large metal rod sticking out of it with what looked to be a makeshift cock on the end. "This little treasure we had our enslaved dwarves make. It's a nice little machine that I am sure you'll enjoy soon enough," Vokgar cackled. She trembled slightly in apprehension as the goblin moved that fake cock to her vulnerable cunt. With a low moan, she felt it pushed into her. Goblins encircled the machine and were doing something to it she did not understand. Suddenly she heard it rumble as if it came alive and steam rose out of the top of it. Sonora gasped when she felt the fake cock inside her move forward slowly and then backwards. She squirmed about in a panic but the goblins held her weak body firm. The machine roared louder as it came to full life and the rod began to move back and forth more steadily. The cock inside her cunt was now pumping in and out with the steady rhythm as she felt shocks of pleasure fire through her body from her sensitive, used cunt. She couldn't help but moan as the thing fucked her with cold machine force. The strokes where becoming more powerful as her tits bobbed up and down on her chest with the strokes. The goblins were doing something else to it now but she could care less as she wailed with her melodious voice. She felt the pumping cock moving faster and faster inside her. "Yes! Oh please MORE! Faster! Harder! FASTER!" The machine was doing just as she wanted as it picked up in speed quite a bit as the steam poured out of the top of it now. It clicked and banged away rapidly in its mechanic design. Sonora was screaming nonstop as the heat grew in her cunt both painfully and wonderfully as it fucked her with such speed that no goblin could match. She bucked her hips against it as best she could from where she was held as her tits now moved up and down just as quickly. It was fucking her so hard. It was fucking her so blessedly fast. She couldn't take it anymore as the blur of a cock pounding her without mercy sent her singing into a titanic orgasm. Her legs flailed in their arms wildly as her cum squirted out onto the machine. Her juices sprayed everywhere as it continued plunging into her hot depths. As she came down from the orgasm and felt her consciousness slipping, the shame and humiliation of this whole experience hit her. Then she saw those green eyes. This was all that damn succubus's fault. She would pay for this. She would pay for her having to suffer because she interfered. She would kill Kendra if it was the last thing she did! That was her last thought before the cum covered siren passed out in the pool of sex juices. **************** A tall pine tree upon the hillside swayed dangerously before tumbling down. The air was filled with the loud crash as it hit the ground, sending many birds spiraling into the early morning sky in fear. Kendra ground her teeth as she shook visibly. Her first dropped back to her side after her rage and send the massive tree flying. Nadine had just finished telling her what had happened to her in her capture and then the incident with Blaze. How dare that foxwoman attack and kidnap him! That kitsune bitch is going to pay for taking her Richard away from her. Nadine blinked at her with wide golden eyes as if having never seen anyone this pissed off before. But she was right to stare, for Kendra rarely every got this angry. Her emerald green eyes flashed dangerously as she fumed there. Nadine swallowed slightly and pointed north, "Umm.. I think we should keep going that way. Her tracks are still going that direction." The infuriated succubus only nodded and followed the catwoman through the woods. They had been walking for quite some time now. Fortunately for them, the pompous foxwoman did not look to have bothered hiding their tracks through the woods. Even an amateur ranger could have followed this trail easily enough. Once she reached the end, she would take as much pleasure as she could in making Aurora suffer. If she had hurt her lover in any way.... Kendra's vision turned blood red for a moment before returning to normal. Taking her mind off the matter at hand to try and calm down some, she studied the catwoman before her. It was true that she had an odd coloring about her, but that wasn't what surprised her. For a mortal creature, Nadine's beauty startled even her. The catwoman had a perfect hourglass figure with large firm breasts and a cute round ass that just screamed for a hand to squeeze it. Her dark fur and long bright orange hair looked well-kept and so achingly soft. Kendra had thought Sonora was one of the few female's that could contend with her own body, but she saw now that the catwoman, Nadine Teigra, was honestly her true rival in looks and body. The demoness couldn't help but lick her bright lips at the thought of getting a little 'taste' of Nadine sometime. Glancing back to her, the furry woman looked unsure. "Kendra. Please just be prepared for what we might find. If I remember what my gramma once told me, these damn enamor spells are near permanent. We may not be able to get him back." "He'll come back. Blaze knows me and certainly hasn't forgotten. I know I can bring him back," Kendra said with a frown as she gazed up to the brightening forest canopy. The morning was pressing on and they still hadn't found them. They had to hurry! "I hope so," Nadine sighed as she shook her head, "Because no one in the lycan race knows how to break or counter the spell. It's never been done." Kendra huffed and folded her arms beneath her breasts as she thought it over. She would find a way to break the spell. Even if that mean dragging Blaze's ass all over the known world in search for it! They followed the tracks into a small open clearing in the woods with soft grass and sunlight cascading through the opening above. Kendra blinked as Nadine froze in front of her. Those cute cat ears perked and twitched slightly as the catwoman listened. "What is it? What's wrong?" Kendra asked, glancing about the shadowy woods. Her questions were answered just as soon as it left her mouth. Slowly, a large number of human men stalked out of the cover of the woods into open sight. Most of them carried clubs, spears, and a hateful look in their eyes. Hearing a twig snap, Kendra turned her head to peer to her side. More men were there as well. The two women were almost completely surrounded with the only opening behind them for retreating. Smirking darkly now, Kendra had no mind to retreat now. She was in a dangerous mood and this was just the kind of release she needed. This would be one bloodbath she would relish and enjoy fully. Twisting her arm slightly, she caught the handle as the rest of her whip dropped out of her sleeve. "Don't worry. I'll take care of these big, strong men," she laughed evilly. Advancing forward, the succubus stepped towards the large group of threatening men. "Wait!" Nadine yelped as she grabbed Kendra's sleeve, "Don't do it! Look at the glazed look in their eyes. They aren't even taunting or talking to us like most men would." Kendra looked back to the pleading catwoman with a dark frown. Her green eyes turned to look back to the men. Nadine had a point. The men in Aidan had constantly bantered on and on about raping her and other lewd comments. All of them had blank looks as well as they drew ever more closer. Nadine tugged on her sleeve pleadingly once more, "These have to be the missing villagers under her spell. If you kill them, then that's as good as confirming my guilt to Jolon. When they find the bodies, they'll attack us lycans in Azami. This is what Aurora wants us to do!" "So what? It's either them or us, Nadine!" "Then let me do it," she hissed as she let go of Kendra. Surprised by her words, Kendra watched her dash forward towards all of the men by herself. One spelled villager leapt forward to run at her in meeting her charge. He yelled loudly as he lifted his club up and swung it down in an arc towards her head. But the nimble cat easily stepped to the side as she rammed her open palm into his face. Blood splashed out of the immediately busted nose as he leaned back from the impact. The catwoman was already moving from the contact as she spun around in a low crouch to sweep the man's legs from beneath him. With all of his leverage gone, his feet were taken out from beneath him to fall backwards and hit his head hard upon the ground. Within the span of a few seconds, she had taken the man down and put him out cold. Kendra and even the spelled villagers stared in complete shock. But soon another man shook off the surprise and roared in challenge as he barreled forward towards the crouched lycan. The man had murder in his eyes as he thrust the sharp spear towards her. Dirt flew up into the air and away with the impact of the blade into the ground. But no blood. The man blinked as this slowly registered in his mind before seeing hands on the ground to either side of the blade. Nadine was there alright. Having pushed herself up and over the diving blade into a handstand. Never one to waste time in her actions, she was already attacking. Her body twisting as her one hand followed. The man was too late in seeing it coming as her foot swung around to connect with a harsh blow to the side of his head. Stunned from the impact, he swayed there for only a few seconds before her other foot came around to slam his face just as hard. The impact sent the man spiraling towards the ground, already unconscious long before his body hit the forest floor. Nadine let her legs drop forward over her back to hit the ground as she swung her torso up in following to stand before them. Kicking the spear right where the blade connected with the wood, it snapped off as she grabbed the shaft. Twirling that staff about her, she turned to the side into a stance. She finished with the staff held in her right hand extending across the back of her neck into her other hand in an intimidating pose. A small smile quirked her cute furry face. Two more men charged her now in blind rage and determination to bring her down with their clubs. The fast catwoman was already moving like the wind again as she spun around with the staff. A solid crack of wood on flesh and bone filled the air as it came across to strike one of the men across the head. The other man was quickly past the long defense of the staff and within reach of her. The air rushed out of him as her side kick slammed right into his stomach with such force it sent him flying backwards. Nadine blinked in surprise when she heard the roar of a huge man that had run up behind her. His spear was over his head about to skewer the furry woman when his vision went black. She had swung her long bushy tail around just in time to give him a face full of fur! She couldn't help but giggle when she heard the man sneeze from his nose being tickled. She thrust her leg behind her to slam a wicked kick into the man's crotch. As the pained man doubled over, the catwoman whipped around the ram her knee up into his downcast face. The big man tumbled to the ground in a limp heap. All the other men had enough and all charged her. It did them no good to Kendra's wide-eyed gaze of shock. In a flurry off dust and forest leaves the brawl happened as their cries filled the air along with Nadine's hissing and meows. But the agile Nadine was untouched. Even when she lost her staff taken by another man, she was a flurry of kicks, punches, and fur! Before long, all the men lay on the ground unconscious and very still alive. Standing in the middle of all that mess, Nadine looked to the amazed Kendra. Her hand darted to her mouth as she giggled behind it shyly. "Did I overdo it?" Kendra simply shook her head, "How the hell do you know the martial arts? I thought that lifestyle had died out centuries ago." Nadine smiled innocently as she carefully stepped over the bodies, "It did, but my family learned it long ago and has always passed it down to each generation of Teigra's." Kendra could only shake her head more but understood. Besides, when you looked as damn hot as Nadine did, a girl's got to protect herself. **************** Unknown to both the ladies, Aurora had more defenses than just a horde of enslaved men. Kendra blinked and stumbled when she felt the earth shudder beneath her felt. Seeing Nadine stumble as well, Kendra looked down towards the ground with a terrible feeling about this. She quickly looked back to the confused catwoman. "Nadine! Get out of here and get Blaze! I'll handle whatever this is!" "But what about you? I just can't leave you here with whatever is causing this." "Just go!' Kendra shouted. Her wings folded out and extended fully as she took her full succubus form. Nadine gaped at her in shock as realization took hold. But she nodded and quickly darted off into the woods. Slowly circling her red leather whip over her head in a circular motion, Kendra watched the ground ripple back and forth steadily. The ground gave one more heavy and bulged upwards before exploding into a shower of dirt and grass. The sight that greeted her honestly surprised her. Writhing before her was a pormantor! It was a large insect creature with the body of a centipede and it had hundreds of long feelers with small claws. Its head was much like that of a praying mantis, sharp mandibles clicking rapidly and all. Why was it here? These man-eating beasts normally hung around in dry arid desert regions. Probably one of that damn foxwoman's pets. With its beady bug eyes, it gazed down at her hungrily. Time for that much needed release. Smirking darkly, the succubus let loose with her deadly whip with such vengeance as the thunderous snaps and cracks filled the air. Silence soon followed as she stopped, staring at the beast still there before her. Her attacks hand bounced right off of it instead of cutting through easily like it normally should. Eyes narrowed, she now saw the hide of the pormantor was a thick exoskeleton of armor. She doubted now that even swords could do anything to harm it. The insect dove head first towards her with great speed that caught her off guard. She dove aside and rolled quickly to her feet, wings flapping about in frustration. The long beast righted itself to look at her. Drool dripped from its mandibles and small fanged mouth as it gazed to her. Looking over it, she saw halfway down its body protruded the fat head of a big cock. Raising a brow, she couldn't help but laugh to herself. It looked like the pormantor was hungry for her alright. Always the one to arouse and blow away the minds of men with her body, she was. That thought caused her to blink for a moment as she watched that cock extend further out of the beast to a huge, beastly length. That's it! She wasn't too fond of the idea, but it was the only option that would work. Slowly, she let that sensual smile grow as she winked. "That big thing is for me? How sweet," she said with a chuckle as she dropped her whip to the ground. Shrugging off her coat, the busty demoness stood there with her skin tight leather pants and vest. Slender fingers easily undid to laces to the vest before it dropped to the ground, her large tanned breasts springing free and swaying slightly with her movements. Cupping her soft, warm breasts, Kendra blew a kiss to the beast. The pormantor was transfixed by her and, by its ever-growing erection, it looked to be enjoying the sight of her stripping. The succubus moaned and blushed softly as she rolled her sensitive pale nipples. Pinching them, she cried out as they extended out into her fingers with the pleasure firing straight from them to her moistening pussy. Reluctantly letting go of her sensitive tits, the sensual demoness kicked off her boots with swiftness before turning her back to the creature. With a sexy smile over her shoulder to the pormantor, her hands griped her pants at the waist. She pushed them down slowly in such a teasing manner while bending over. This presented a perfect view of her gorgeous browned ass and sweet little pussy mound.

Chapter 4 - The Lonely Guardian In the northeastern reaches of the land called Quinlan, a small campfire lit the darkness just off the beaten dirt road. Very little sound was heard except the usual night life one would expect. Crickets chirped away and owls hooted softly. In the dark woods, away from the quiet forest path, were three figures surrounding the flickering flames. The fire lit Kendra's exquisite beauty enchantingly as she sat in front of it. But the warm glow upon her skin didn't match the coldness in those brilliant green eyes. Her icy glare stared over the fire to be matched by an equally frigid pair of golden eyes. The furry catwoman, Nadine, sat there silently, her tail swaying side to side and the fur along her back standing out threateningly. If fire could freeze instantly, it would have a long time ago with the bitter jealousy between the staring females. "We should have left you to rot in that cage," Kendra finally muttered. Nadine's ears perked as she heard that loud and clear. She hissed softly, "But Blaze wouldn't! You're just jealous that he wants me now instead of you." "Shut up, furball!" Kendra screamed as she leaped up to her feet in fury. The catwoman stood and shook her fist at Kendra. "Why? Don't want to hear the truth! That Blaze doesn't want a bitch from hell?" Kendra clenched her fists tightly as she trembled visibly. A part of her wanted to kill this lycan right now in the most bloody fashion. But Nadine had helped her find Richard. She had brought Richard back to her when it seemed Aurora had stolen him from her forever. Yet Nadine had to go and screw her lover when she wasn't there! Especially after Kendra freed her from that cage. How dare she! Her green eyes glanced to her side to where Blaze lay. He'd been out cold for almost a whole day still from the clobbering both she and Nadine gave him. It served him right! Share? Not a chance! He was hers and hers alone! Nadine sighed as she visibly relaxed. Her furry hand rested upon her hip as she gazed silently at the fuming demoness. "Look Kendra. Let me tell you once more. I didn't know you and him were lovers." When Kendra nodded tightly at that, Nadine continued, "I had to sleep with him to break the spell. He would have been lost to us if I hadn't!" The succubus growled and raised her fist in anger, "You didn't have to! I would have been there shortly. I would have made him remember and given him an experience he would never forget." Nadine raised her hands up, palms open defensively against the verbal assault. "How was I supposed to know you would survive whatever was coming to attack us? For all I knew, you were dead!" "You may have a point there. But that doesn't change the fact that you still want to keep him for yourself," she hissed in response. The catwoman frowned as she went silent. Kendra smirked triumphantly as she scored with that sharp barb into the furry woman. Nadine stayed quiet as she looked to be thinking deeply on that last comment over and over again. Biting her lower lip, she looked back up to Kendra, "You just don't understand. It's hard to explain." "No. Please tell, Nadine! I can't wait to hear this," laughed the succubus as she sat down. Nadine sniffed at the mocking laughter angrily as she sat down too. "In the lycan culture, we adamantly adhere to the belief of abstinence as we grow up. We stay virgins until we find our mutual mate and love. Once our virginity is taken, a sacred bond is formed between the two. In a way, it's almost like the human's 'marriage' except without all the ceremony. The two lovers then become life-long partners." Nadine looked to Kendra to see if her point was being understood so far, but continued when the leather-wearing beauty stayed silent. "You have to understand that I've been waiting for the right male. So many lycan men courted and worshiped me as I matured physically. I was even beginning to think of a certain lycan guy fondly. But then this all happened with my capture. He took my virginity, Kendra. The bond between him and I was formed. Even more, I grew fond of him as I thought about him and the time we had talked together. He was so kind, understanding, noble and good looking. I'm in love with him." Anger nearly boiled over Kendra. She managed to hold back from lashing out at Nadine. Her own intense feelings for her lover burned hotly inside as she thought the catwoman's words over. Remembering her first impression of the young warrior and their first passionate night together in bed, Kendra could easily understand how Nadine could fall so quickly for him. "Though I really hate to admit it, I understand how you feel," Kendra sighed. She ran her slender hand through her long vanilla hair with mixed emotions. Her green gaze studied her rival in love with her exotic furry beauty that would drive any man of race wild with lust. Then the idea popped into her head. Those lush soft vanilla-colored lips slowly drew up into a confident smirk. She knew there was one thing for sure she was superior at than Nadine. "How about I make a proposition then?" Nadine blinked and looked unsure as she saw Kendra's sudden appearance of confidence. She then nodded that she was listening. Kendra smiled wickedly. "A contest to see who will be his true lover. The winner will be Blaze's love for the rest of his life." "And the loser?" asked the frowning lycan. "Can continue with Blaze and the winner as a close friend. This 'friend' can even fuck him from time to time as long as she doesn't try to steal him away for herself alone." Nadine stared at her in complete shock, "You'd be willing to share him whether you win or lose?" "I am. Either way you look at it, we both get to stay with him and get some sweet loving from him at night. Just that one of us will be the one to marry, bond or whatever with him down the road. Are you not willing to share, Nadine?" To Kendra's delight, the catwoman shook her head, "No. I can share. But what will the challenge be?" Kendra smirked as she knew there was no way she could lose! "A contest of sexual domination between you and me. The first to give in to the other loses." The succubus licked her lips sensually as she gazed over the naked catwoman's voluptuous figure. She watched Nadine bite her lower lip in her usual cute way as she thought this over. She saw the catwoman's eyes look over her body and the forbidden hunger growing within them. Nadine nodded with a feral grin, "Alright then. I agree!" With suddenness that even caught the succubus off guard, the catwoman sprung right over the flames of the fire to tackle Kendra into the grassy forest ground. Feeling the air leave her lungs, the succubus could only lay there in shock for those brief seconds before she felt something pleasantly soft against her lips. Opening her eyes, she saw the furry woman kissing her hungrily. Her heart pounded as she felt Nadine's lush body press firmly against hers. Damn she was quick! Not about to let the catwoman gain dominance so quickly, she grunted as she used her demon strength to throw the catwoman up and over her head. Nadine gave a startled yelp of shock as she sailed through the air. Kendra quickly rolled up to her knees and turned around to witness the agile lycan twist in the air to land on her feet easily. "You couldn't wait for me to undress?" Kendra said with a smirk. She was impressed with Nadine's aerial display. Damn cats always landing on their feet! Smirking as the lust inside her grew hotly, she moved her slender shoulders about to yank off her leather jacket and toss it aside. The catwoman leapt into the air towards her once again, but she was ready this time. Catching Nadine in mid-air, Kendra swung her around and slammed the lycan down onto her back. Seeing her opportunity, the succubus straddled the lycan beneath her and ground her hips passionately against the soft fur. Her hand seized Nadine's large furry tits and squeezed them. They were so soft but firm! She couldn't help but go crazy with lust as those fur covered breasts excited her greatly for reasons she didn't understand. Nadine moaned softly as her firm tits were groped aggressively by the demoness. Her nipples poked up out of her fur visibly now as the pleasure coursing through her made her pussy moisten arousingly. "Oh you like that don't you?" Kendra laughed. Nadine whimpered softly and closed her eyes, "Oh damn you!" Kendra pulled on the taut nipples in response to that, making Nadine's tits stretch upwards beautifully, The lycan screamed with both pain and pleasure before she felt her nipples released. Her tits came back down and bounced about slightly as her hard red buds stood out. Kendra laughed again as she watched the lycan squirm helplessly beneath her as she held her breath to hold back more moans of pleasure. She could see the burning shame as the blissful pleasure was growing inside the catwoman. Her laughter was cut off abruptly when she felt strong hands seize her large breasts. Kendra had to now try and hold back a groan herself as her firm jugs were squeezed and fondled through the leather vest. The lycan's own furry fingers snuck in between the laces to caress the cleavage between the heaving orbs. She damn near lost it as her hardening nipples poked out against the leather for anyone to see. Nadine already had as she played with the sensitive buds and making Kendra's own cunt slicken with her arousal. Before she could even respond, the catwoman had made quick work of the laces to her vest. Without the tight cords holding the vest firmly, her hot brown tits sprung free as the vest dropped away. Pale nipples stood out prominently in the cool evening air as Nadine hungrily stared at the most perfect pair of breasts she'd ever seen. She couldn't resist! Her hands groped the beautiful firm breasts like crazy. Both women panted heavily as they grew more excited while playing with each others tits. This stalemate continued on for the next few moments as both women writhed in each others hands, their sensitive jugs sending shocks of pleasure ripping through them both. Kendra felt a crack in her confidence as she struggled to regain dominance. She knew she should be getting aroused from this, but not this hot! Nadine sat up and ran her tongue all over the mountainous flesh of her boobs. The succubus screamed in ecstasy straight upwards into the night air. Damn her to the Abyss! The lycan had a secret weapon in her tongue! She had no idea it would be slightly rough like that. She felt the burning pleasure growing inside her cunt as her sensitive melon-sized breasts were licked all over. Then, just as the thought entered her mind with dread, that very thing happened. Nadine's tongue slid slowly over her hard pale nipple in a long lick. Feeling that against her most sensitive part, Kendra's scream filled the air for miles around as she almost came right there! Her cunt wet her thighs now with their juices flowing in excitement. She was losing! Nadine smiled and purred softly to her female lover. The demoness was pressing her tits eagerly forward into her mouth as she licked the hard nubs with repeated flicks of her pink weapon. With a small push, Nadine got the demoness onto her back on the ground. The momentary absence of the licking of her breasts distracted Kendra just long enough to do what she did. Her strong hands seized the tight leather pants the succubus wore before tugging them fully off to make her fully naked and vulnerable. She watched Kendra's reaction now with a smile. The gorgeous demon's green eyes flew wide open as her mouth opened in a silent scream when Nadine ran her tongue up the smooth crack of Kendra's wet pussy mound. She felt as if lightning had struck her and stayed within her cunt with the hot burning pleasure as Nadine licked up her pussy juices. Her silent scream finally found its voice to pierce the air with its ear shattering pitch! Kendra could not stop screaming as her legs trembled with the waves of rapturous ecstasy rolling back and forth through her without ceasing. She felt that agile tongue flick around the wet entrance to her cunt. When Nadine's tongue delved inside her hot twat to rub against the sensitive flesh, she thought she would die right there from the explosion of pleasure. Kendra wailed as she thrashed about before arching her back upwards, pushing those big heaving tits away from her towards the sky. The catwoman went for the kill quickly just as she did in battles. Never let your opponent have a moment to regain control! Her pink trump card darted for Kendra's excited clit. She licked the extremely delicate bump repeatedly with unmerciful quickness! Kendra swore her heart nearly stopped beating as the explosion that ripped through her now made the last explosion of pleasure seem like a small puff of smoke in comparison. Arching her breasts even higher, she shrieked at the top of her lungs as she roared to her fiery orgasm in mere seconds! She felt Nadine purr softly in pleasure as she lapped up the nectar flowing freely out of her pussy now. With a thump, Kendra dropped back down to the ground and realized how her Richard could like Nadine so much. Nadine's tongue on his cock must drive him fucking nuts too! All the more reason to not lose him! Still holding the fire of resistance within her to win, Kendra fought out of the blissful haze. She seized the lycan female's shoulders firmly and rolled her over. Nadine yelped in surprise as she found her furry ass on her back in a flash. Kendra moved just as swiftly as Nadine had. She now lay between the catwoman's legs gazing at the furry pussy mound aching to be touched. With a savage demonic hunger to drink the sexy lycan's essence, she dived forward. "No no noooooooOOOOOOH!!!" Nadine cried before moaning in the middle of her protests. Kendra simply smiled with inward satisfaction as her own tongue now returned the assault in kind on the catwoman's highly aroused cunt. This pussycat had one hot pussy! She groaned as she licked up the flowing creamy goodness from the purring kitty. She tasted so good that Kendra wanted more and more of it! The demon's tongue attacked the wet folds savagely with a desperate hunger that drove Nadine wild. The catwoman mewed and purred nonstop as she squirmed about in pleasure. Nadine's eyes bolted wide open when she felt two fingers slide smoothly up into her tight quim. The damn succubus was now pressing forward with her domination to lick her clit with teasing flicks as she drove those fingers in and out of her. "Oh gods yessss! Meeeeooooowwwr! More! Faster....... harder..... pleeeeeeaaaassseee!" the lycan begged with a low moan as she thrust her wet mound against those intruding fingers. A knowing smile was her only response as those fingers complied with her request. The dark night air in the quiet woods were soon filled with meowing and purring and the unmistakable sound of wet squishes rapidly one after another. When the wet sounds stopped, her pleading voice sounded once again, "What are you doing?! Please don't stop! Fuck me with your fingers and tongue, Kendra!" Her green eyes looked up between those heaving fur covered mounds with bright red nipples poking skyward to Nadine's desperate gaze. The poor furry had no idea what was coming next. With her fingers in that wet pussy as far as they would go, she curled them upwards from inside. Right away she felt it and smirked as she rubbed Nadine's g-spot with the tips of her fingers as she sucked on the budding clit. Much to her own satisfaction, Nadine's high pitched scream of ecstasy filled the air just as loudly as she had screamed herself before. The combining stimulation of both areas brought Nadine into a crushing climax. She screamed nonstop as she came over and over again as Kendra drank in the sweet cum with relish. Her cum coated the succubus's fingers and tongue hotly. Kendra licked the cum from her lush vanilla colored lips as she brushed her bright hair away from her eyes. She would have to take Nadine on more often. Her cum tasted so wickedly good! She heard a pleased purr from Nadine before she heard the defiant growl. Clawed hands grabbed her head and shoved her up and backwards onto her ass. The catwoman's strength never ceased to amaze her as she sat there with wide astonished eyes and spread legs. With a triumphant cry, Nadine moved quickly to twine her legs together with her opponent's with her wet sex rubbing up against Kendra's hot cunt. Both women stared each other down. They both knew this was the final dash for dominance. They were both exhausted from the earth-shattering orgasms they had experienced. Nadine panted softly with the exertion as Kendra's mind-blowing body was covered with sweat and shined erotically in the moonlight. Respect for each other in their eyes was obvious, but the determination to win Blaze even more prominent. Both let out low sultry groans of sexual bliss as they began to rub their pussies together. Their big tits swayed in unison as they humped at each other frantically for minutes that seemed like an eternity. Gasps and moans were the only exchange between them as they grew closer towards cumming once again. Kendra growled as she lewdly ground her hips back and forth rapidly in the effort to drive Nadine over the edge. The friction against her own clit made her burn with the aching desire to just let go to the torrential current of blissful climax. Soon both women forgot all about the damn contest. They only wanted to cum! Kendra grasped her tits firmly and pinched her nipples with a pleasured cry. Nadine purred and pushed her breasts upwards enough to where she could lick the firm nipples frantically. One of them had to give in and one finally did. The beautiful female voice filled the air with a passionate defeated scream proclaiming intense orgasm of submission. The furry woman frozen in ecstasy against Kendra before Nadine trembled in her fluid release. Knowing she had won the contest that had been so close, Kendra relaxed and let herself go. With a low sultry moan, she came shortly after Nadine. The cum from her pussy flowed out to mingle with the cum pouring out of the lycan's pussy. They both then embraced each other of their own will and kissed each other lovingly. Both had a newfound respect in the other and liked each other enough to be willing to share their male lover. In the night sky, a figure hovered above the passionately kissing females as if it had been witness to the entire sexual contest. Out of the northeast, a similar dark figure flew up to the watchful one. They both stayed there as if words were being exchanged before they flew quickly back towards the northeast. ******************** A great distance away from the two female lovers, the waters flowed and splashed brightly in the moonlight. The massive fountain poured waters from five great spouts. Each symbolized the world's races of light in its own fashions. The southern spout held the stone figures of a man and woman both holding a jar in which the water poured out of in symbolization of humankind's dominance of the southern lands in the world. The northern figure was that of a fair elf with its arrow set in the bow to fire. The water poured out of that very arrow tip that aimed to the dark night sky. The elves ruled the forested lands of the north with grace and dignity. Blazing Glory Ch. 04 Facing the east was a fearsome dragon with the water pouring out of its open maw. Its stone wings spread out as if in challenge. It was truly the reflection of the winged races that resided in the mountainous terrain that ran through the east and northeast portions of the continent. Lastly, but certainly not least, stood a noble looking male lycan of the lion race. Its fanged roar like that of one would expect of the king of the animal kingdom as jets of water streamed out of each of its extended claws. The massive fountain was an impressive sight that very few were privileged to see. A more impressive sight was there as well, although one wouldn't see it as such upon first sight. A circular lip of stone went around that large fountain in which many hundreds could sit upon. But one figure sat upon it, looking so small and insignificant there by the grand piece of marble. But up close, the fountain meant nothing when any would realize they were within the presence of Stavros himself. He was an impressive sight as he wore a toga like many of the great, ancient gods did. He was a towering man of seven feet in height easily with a muscled physique to drive any woman wild with desires. His skin glowed golden as one would imagine an immortal would. He had well groomed short silvery hair and blue eyes that were full of nobility and kindness. Quite the contrast from his old beggar disguise, his usual bright smile was replaced with a concerned frown as he thought over recent events. First the slaughtering of all those villagers by the sea and now he had heard reports of high tensions between the humans and lycans. All bore the trademark goal of Koas to create mischief. What bothered him was the scale of her attempts. The dark goddess was no stranger to acting upon the mortals through her agents, but not to such a large number. The increased frequency of her attempts troubled him even further. Koas was up to something. A flutter of wings in the silent night drew him out of those troubled thoughts. The dark winged figure landed at the entrance to his gardens. In the darkness, he could not distinguish the features of the figure well. It mattered not as he knew his personal avatar well enough as she strode forward and knelt before him. The darkness of night still shrouded her from his sight. "You have something to report to me?" He asked, "It must certainly be important for you to abandon your watch of Blaze and his companions." The figure's head rose to meet his gaze before she nodded, "Yes, my lord. Nothing but the utmost importance would make me abandon that post briefly as I have. One of my scouts came to me with an important report." Stavros frowned further as he knew he wasn't going to like the sound of this, "Go ahead then, my friend." "The scout reported the sighting of a dark and unusual person in her watch. The person wore dark spiked armor that is unusual for that part of the world." "How does this person make this so important? It is probably only a traveling mercenary," he sighed as he relaxed. Still, he trusted his avatar and knew she wouldn't come to him like this needlessly. "Is there more?" The figure shivered as if fearing what would come of his reaction, but she spoke quickly still. "The armored person is making a path straight towards the ruins of Nervei..." "What!?" Stavros yelled in shock. His avatar shrank back in fear as he reacted suddenly. He regained himself quickly and saw that he had jumped up to his feet. He sat down as he shook his head in dismay. Koas was playing at a dangerous game and he didn't like it one bit. No doubt of who that person could possibly be now. "Please relax, my dear servant. You've done nothing wrong to anger me. You have done the best thing you could have done in fact." He watched her shoulders relax visibly, "Does my lord Stavros wish for us to intercept the intruder?" Stavros thought her words over carefully. Koas was moving her pieces into play strategically and now went for a bonus to give her an upper hand in this game. The idea came to him right as he thought about that. In his own way, he had pieces to play against her. The thought of using them displeased him, but he had to do it. "Where were the whereabouts of Blaze and his party when you left him?" he asked. "Only a few leagues from where the intruder was spotted, not far from Nervei." He nodded as that bright smile finally returned to his features, "Go back to watch over them, my friend. I, in the meantime, will create a little detour to nudge our friends in the right direction..." ******************** Blaze groaned as he finally came to. His head felt like a giant had dropped a mountain on top of him. Hands reaching up to rub his temples as he fought the headache, he lay there thinking about how he could have come to have such a splitting pain in his skull. He remembered women shouting angrily at each other. Then the image of the most beautiful green eyes ever and golden cat eyes popped into his head. Only thing was that both held the most furious looks he had ever seen in his life. Shortly after that came the blinding whiteness before darkness took him. With a low groan of pain, he sat up as he thought about it. Maybe that hadn't been the best joke to say at that time. He rubbed his head to feel two solid lumps that were almost gone now. How long had he been knocked out? And why did he feel like there was a draft or something? Blaze tossed the thin blanket aside and looked down. "Holy shit! Where are my clothes?" Feeling so vulnerable, he glanced about. He was in the woods still and it was night. As if the slight chill in the air wasn't enough to tell him that! What had happened since the fight? The fight! Panic seized him as he thought about Kendra or Nadine being dead from the ensuing battle. What if they were both dead? But just as that thought entered his mind, he saw them. Oh what a sight to behold. Both females sat on the other side of the fire gazing at them. The fact they sat side-by-side so closely astounded him. Kendra's hungry eyes drank in his naked body as she smirked knowingly. Nadine smiled cutely as her tail swayed back and forth behind her. Neither had a single wound on them. Not even a mark! And he could easily tell that the two most beautiful women in all the land sat there in front of him bare naked. "What's going on? Why are you two so calm with each other? Why are you both naked right next to each other?" his questions poured out as soon as they came to mind. Nadine giggled softly as Kendra brushed her soft vanilla hair from those green emeralds, "Well, my dear stud, Nadine and I have reached a truce with each other." "Sure did!" the catwoman piped in before she gave in to another fit of giggling. The words that came out of the sexy demon's mouth confounded him to no end. "A truce? Between the two of you? After she slept with me, Kendra?" "You heard me right, lover," the succubus said before licking her bright lips sensually, "We had a little discussion and then a plan to see who would be your true lover." "A great plan it was, too! We both go to know each other better. We're close friends now," Nadine giggled with a smile. When he looked to Kendra, she nodded in answer that Nadine was right, "We certainly did come to an understanding. You're still all mine, my warrior stud. But I am willing to share now as part of the agreement." Blaze thought his jaw just literally dropped into his lap, "Share?" "Oh yeah! You took my virginity, Blaze, and I want more of you. You were such an incredible lover!" Nadine purred seductively. Kendra laughed softly, "And when she isn't fucking you, dear Blaze, I will be. Or maybe when you're taking one of us, the other can join in. How do you like the sound of that?" His dick jerked instantly in enthusiastic agreement. Both the ladies eyes were drawn to the growing erection in his crotch. The demoness and lycan shared a small knowing smile with a mutual look of desire. They leaned forward and kissed each other passionately in front of him. Dear Stavros, I've died and gone to the wonderful afterlife, he thought. His cock couldn't agree more as it roared to a full raging hard-on at the lusty lesbian kiss. Both of them broke their kiss to look hungrily at his hard erection. The two moved swiftly and were soon kneeling between his legs. He groaned as he felt two hot mouths lovingly move about his cock. Kendra dipped her head to take one of his balls in her mouth and sucked it deeply. Nadine was swirling that wonderful tongue all around the flared head before she took it into her mouth. The lycan's cheeks hallowed as her head bobbed up and down on his rod. Blaze's hands gripped the blankets by his side as he felt the two hot mouths worshiping his cock. Nadine giggled and let go of him with her mouth with a wet pop. She offered the meaty length to Kendra. The sexy succubus more than happily let go of his nuts to suck him deeply into her mouth. Both women smiled softly as they traded him back and forth to suck the length of his cock. They would drive him wild at times when they both would concentrate on licking that cockhead at the same time. They seemed not to care their own tongues caught the other's at times. Then they put both their lips against each side of his cock and in unison ran their hot wet mouths up and down the length of him. This went on for a blissful eternity before Kendra whispered something to Nadine. The catwoman giggled and nodded in approval. Blaze watched them both lean upwards. Oh dear gods yes! Both women took their massive tits and pressed them against each other firmly. And his cock was in the middle! Both women moaned softly as they moved their breasts together up and down his cock. The feeling was unbelievable with the firm softness of their boobs encasing his rod. "How's it feel, baby," Kendra cooed softly to him, "being tit fucked by two perfect pairs of knockers?" "You got the best of both worlds, Blaze. Her silky skin and my soft fur," Nadine mewed sensually. The poor guy could only groan loudly in response. The world's biggest tit-fuck continued as the women bounced those jugs up and down. They were getting incredibly turned on as well by doing this as by their nipples were extending out and hardening. Those sensitive buds rubbed against each other constantly as they moved up and down his cock. "That's it Nadine. Rub those hot furry tits against me," Kendra moaned hotly. Nadine whimpered softly before she caved in and meowed loudly, "Oh yes! Your nipples are so hard!" They joined together again in another passionate kiss. The sight of them kissing and the feel of tit flesh all around his cock was simply too much. His cock jerked between their breasts as cum erupted upwards like the greatest explosion from a volcano. Kendra and Nadine both gasped in surprise before moaning in joy. Both of them bent their heads down to stick out their tongue and lap up those spurts of thick white jizz. It was too much for them though as he mostly sprayed their gorgeous faces with his cum. They moaned as they leaned forward to lick the white cream off each other's face's until they were both clean. They kissed each other, swapping his cum between their mouths with relish before swallowing. Both turned and smiled to him before looking back down to his cock. Kendra chuckles softly and smirked, "We can't have you go down already lover. Time to rise to the challenge again." With that, the demoness moved about to sit beside him. She draped her legs over him before pressing her bare cunt against the side of his dick. Nadine was quick to follow. Soon his cock was sandwiched between the steamy heat of two highly aroused and wet pussies! Just when he thought it couldn't get any better! Both women ground their pussies up and down his rod gently. The feeling was incredible! His hard-on soon started growing back to full strength. The succubus and catwoman were wailing loudly now as they spread their wetness up and down him. Their sensitive clits were constantly rubbing against his shaft and wracking their bodies with pleasure. Soon both were lewdly humping their hips up and down faster as their breasts bounced gently on their chests. The stimulation was too great for them as they both came to thrashing, screaming climax at the same time. Blaze laid back as he felt both cunts pour their nectar forth about his cock to mingle together. It was hard not to race to a quick climax himself. Soon, though, he felt a hot wetness surround his hardness. Looking up, he saw Kendra with her perfect tanned-body straddling him. She winked and smiled down to him as she rolled her hips back and forth over his cock. A shadow fell over him and drew his gaze upwards to see the furry pussy descending down to his face. "Oh Blaze! Lick my cunt! I want to cum on your face and sweet tongue. Please fuck me with that tongue!" Nadine purred. He was more than happy to oblige the lycan. His hands gripped her hips and drew her down to his mouth. His tongue delved into the searing hotness of that lycan pussy as he lapped away. He felt the catwoman's purr vibrating through her whole body as she humped her hips to grind her pussy onto his hot mouth. He felt Kendra's pace begin to pick up as she bounced up and down on him. He thrust his hips up to drive his cock into her deeper as she rode him hard. He heard her scream in approval from his thrusting. The three passionate lovers fucked each other like this over the next few minutes with lusty moans and wet slaps of flesh meeting flesh filling the night air. Blaze latched onto Nadine's clit and sucked it hard. This was too much for her and she came into his mouth with a high pitched squeal of delight. Blaze lapped up her sweet juices as he heard Kendra groan sensually. He felt her cunt clench to him tightly as she flooded him with her own cum. Nadine and Kendra both rose off of the happy man. Sitting up, he saw the catwoman get down on her hands and knees with her beautiful ass presented to him. She looked over her shoulder and smiled as she wiggled that ass to him. No words needed to be said as he quickly moved up behind her on his knees. She purred softly to him as she raised that tail up high before laying it over his left shoulder. His hand rested against that soft tail as he eased himself into her wet tunnel. Nadine groaned softly and thrust back against him as he pounded his rod into that tight twat. Kendra could clearly hear the loud slaps of his hips meeting Nadine's firm ass as she moved up behind her lover. "You took her cherry lover, but you forgot the other one," she whispered huskily into his ear before nipping it with her teeth. He heard her before the smirking succubus moved around the fucking couple. The brown-skinned sexual goddess strut to the front of Nadine and lay down. She spread those long legs wide and offered her pert pussy to Nadine with a sexy wink. The catwoman moaned and more than eagerly ran her wonderful tongue over that smooth pussy in rapid licks. The demoness gasped her groan as she leaned back and squeezed her tits roughly with her hands. Blaze pulled out of the hot pussy with his cock slick with Nadine's arousal. He aimed upwards and firmly pressed that wet head against the little star of her ass. Nadine gave a startled muffled protest into Kendra's pussy as she felt the pressure against her ass's entrance. Kendra moaned loudly as Nadine's scream vibrated her cunt when Blaze pushed that flared head into her tight little bum. The lycan's screams of dismay soon turned into screams of bliss as he pushed more of his length deeper into her ass. He grunted as he bottomed out into her ass. It was so hot and incredibly tight! He slowly began to pump in and out of her ass. She bobbed her ass up and down against his cock eagerly now after getting used to the anal intrusion. The incredible sight of her furry ass with its firm globes any woman would die for engulfing his pale cock was almost surreal if not for the heat he felt around himself. Soon they were fucking each other hard and fast as Kendra squirmed about beneath that lycan tongue assaulting her clit. Only one little spark was necessary to set the whole explosion off. With her ass clenching about his cock frantically, Blaze couldn't hold back any longer and erupted into the hot depths of Nadine's furry ass. Feeling his hot seed pour into her rear sent Nadine into a screaming orgasm as she thrust back fully against him. That scream vibrating her clit intensely made Kendra cry out as she came and poured sweet juices onto that tongue of her female lover. As all three came down from blissful climax, they wearily moved to lie together. Those orgasms had been intense and exhausted them. Blaze lay on his back as Kendra cuddled into her usual place on his left, by his heart. Nadine purred softly as she pressed her own voluptuous body against him on the right. With his arms about them like this, all three lovers fell into peaceful slumber. ******************** The following day had been slow going for them. It was an unusual day with such intense humidity that it seemed to take their breath away. Add to that the terrain they were moving through was rugged with many hills and valleys that the abundant forest covered. The beaten path they trudged up and down upon wasn't traveled much with many roots threatening to trip them. All this after a night that had physically exhausted them. So active a night it had been, they slept until mid-morning before setting out. They talked to each other most of the time throughout the day. Nadine asked about how the two of them met and about Blaze's background. They inquired Nadine further about the lycan culture and beliefs. Back and forth the conversations went, making the rough travel not as frustrating. The one thing that bugged Blaze was how it felt like he was being constantly watched. The others caught his mood and his glances about their surroundings. All of them were soon watching the surroundings as they continued talking to each other. Nothing threatened them or leaped out from the shaded woods though. As the day progressed on into afternoon and then into early evening, they felt more at ease and relaxed. The fading beams of light through the forest told him that it was close to dusk. That was when he first noticed. In an already very humid day, he felt the air become more heavily saturated but cooler. The beaten path they walked upon had taken a steep decline. From the breaks in the tree line, he could see it was leading them down into a broad valley in the middle of the mountains. Soon the surrounding mountains seemed to be getting harder to see as time passed. The forest floor was becoming shrouded in the thin white veil of a mist that was forming in the cool evening air. The more they declined in elevation the more the depth of the fog increased. Soon the fog had encased the three of them and was growing thicker with every step. "Blaze... I don't like the feel of this," Nadine whimpered nervously. He felt Kendra's hand seize his arm firmly before she pulled herself close to him. She pressed her body firmly up against him as the fog unnaturally grew thicker quickly. "Nadine! Come over here quick!" He called out. But the fog closed in quicker than she could. It became so thick that he couldn't even see his feet anymore let alone the path. "Blaze? Kendra?" the lycan called out in the fog, her voice more distant, "Where are you?" "Over this way! You're going the wrong way, Nadine," Kendra called out beside him. They heard her distant reply before a startled scream sounded from her direction. Her cry faded quickly shortly after. Both he and Kendra shared a shocked look before they both quickly moved towards that direction. Blaze feared the sight he would see. The image of Nadine's lifeless body lying on the ground with her neck broken from a fall filled his mind. A cold shiver ran up his spine as he quickly shut that image out of his mind. She had to be fine. Blazing Glory Ch. 04 "Nadine? Where are you!?" He yelled at the top of his lungs. He was about to call out when he staggered forward. What the hell? Too late he realized that he was still going forward and down. Oh shit! He tried to warn Kendra before it was too late. Her strong grip on his arm though carried her down with him as he tumbled over and over down the steep hill. So steep was the incline that he didn't crash into any trees. No trees could ever grow on it. The whole world just seemed to have turned up and over itself in a dizzying spiral that never seemed to end. Blaze grunted at every impact upon the ground as he sailed downwards and he could hear the crashing Kendra somewhere further away. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Blaze landed on his back and slid a few more feet before stopping. With a pained groan, he lay there a few minutes as he waited for the trees to stop dancing around him. After he regained his senses and vision, he sat up and checked himself. He would probably be bruised pretty well in a few places, but he saw no cuts or felt any broken bones. He hurt like crazy though! The young warrior heaved himself up to find his weapons still in place and glanced about his surroundings. "Kendra! Nadine!" he called out. Silence answered him. The unnatural fog still encased all of his surroundings but not as densely. The steep hill rose sharply behind him before disappearing in the cool mist. Ahead of him, the terrain became much more level. What was so astounding to him were the stone walls those rose up toweringly not far in front of him. Even though the walls lay in ruined rubble in many places, he could still see many portions that still rose to a massive height. If multiple versions of him could stand on their shoulders, it would take five of him just to reach the top ledge. Stepping up to the walls, he saw no distinctive writing or symbols on them. These ruins were ancient. He doubted even long faded legends spoke of this place still. It lay hidden in this vast forest that had risen around it over time and lay far off the beaten path. He looked about as hard as he could and couldn't see Kendra lying about anywhere. While part of him was worried about her, he was glad he didn't find her fatally wounded or dead. She might have gone into the ruins looking for him if she wasn't able to find him in the fog. Glancing back to those old crumbled ruins, he didn't like the look of the place. He had to search the place for Kendra and Nadine. Every step placed cautiously, the young warrior stepped through one of the gaps in the fortified wall to enter the ruins of a large ancient city. ******************** Lexiss sighed as she trudged through the mountains now for her next assignment. She was starting to get wary of doing this for her mistress as she often knew the results. They had found out what happened to Sonora shortly after she got back. She shuddered at what those goblins had done to the siren and was thankful it hadn't been her instead. The siren was okay but seemed to hold a renewed hatred for that succubus named Kendra. The shadow mistress shook her head in disgust. Such hatreds would eventually destroy the siren. Lexiss didn't want to be there and drug down with the foolish sing-song bitch. Raising a hand to cover her eyes from the bright sunlight, she saw that she was near the top of the small mountain. She wasn't used to such large amounts of light from the sun and it made her feel uncomfortable. With a sigh, she pressed herself onwards. Not too long afterwards, she finally came upon the clearing she had been told to expect. In the middle of the clearing was a gigantic round table with equally sized stone chairs about it. In those chairs she saw who she was expecting. Each chair held their representative for their race at this council. All of them had one thing in common. They were all giants! She looked at them warily as they turned to look at her. Feeling the scrutiny of their eyes, she drew herself up with a breath and strode forward. As she approached the council table, she saw all kinds of giants. There were rock giants, tree giants, mountain giants, sea giants and so on. All were remarkably human in appearance with their physical traits altered in kind with their race description. One giant let his hand down. She stepped up into the open palm before he raised her up onto the table easily. She stepped out onto the table and strut confidently to the center of the table that was as big as a gladiator arena. Lexiss stood there with her hand resting on her hip as she looked to each of them before speaking, "I am here to give you the reason the goddess known as Koas invited all of you to this council. She will give you the greatest common desire that you all hold in exchange for your services for her." "And what kind of fun would that be, agent of Koas," the mountain giant's voice boomed deeply. "Slaughter, destruction, mayhem, and all of those wonderful things," the dark woman said with a smile. The wind giant to her right leaned forward to speak, her hair swaying with the gusty breath leaving his mouth, "And what is this desire she claims to know we all hold. A desire that she can give us that we cannot obtain ourselves. Tell us this then!" Those dark lips smiled softly, "Why of course I'll tell you. It's actually part of her services. The complete extermination of all dragons." That statement brought forth booming yells of approval from many to where the very mountain itself shook. Soon all began talking to the others. Their voices were so loud that the booming talk became garbled together to where she couldn't understand. It did not matter as she had to cover her ears. They bantered on for about an hour about this, weighing the possible benefits and losses in such a venture. Eventually it all became quiet again to where she could uncover her ears. Lexiss looked to them all, "What is your answer?" The rock giant leaned forward with his gravelly voice sounding like an avalanche of boulders, "We will do as Koas wishes. In the meantime, we would also like to see you strip and make yourself cum while we watch." She rolled her eyes as she knew this was going to happen. What could you expect with a knockout figure like she had? She was thankful they weren't going to fuck her at least. That would surely kill her. All the giants already were standing and had their enormous cocks out. The smallest one there was as long and thick as a red oak! Slowly she pushed her black dress down to where her large boobs bounced in freedom. Her dark nipples began to harden shamefully at the idea of what she was about to do. Finally getting the dress completely off of her. She lay down on the table and spread her legs wide for them to see her dusky cunt lips. Her left hand pulled on her hard nipple as her other rubbed her clit. She moaned lowly as she felt her pussy getting wetter by the second as the tension began to build within her. She looked up to the giants to see their cocks drooling precum in gallons extending from the tips in long thick ropes. She licked her lips without thinking as she thrust her fingers into her pussy. Lexiss groaned shamefully as the giants began calling her all kinds of nasty names. She couldn't understand why that was turning her on even more. She panted heavily as her hot body glistened wetly with sweat at the exertion of her masturbation. Soon, the shadow mistress was humping her hips upwards against the fingers frigging her cunt rapidly. Her hand squeezed her nipple as she gave a loud husky grunt as she came hard, her juices pouring out of her open pussy lips to wet the table beneath her. In her orgasmic bliss, she didn't hear the multiple grunts around her. She gasped and swallowed thick cum as she was showered in fountains of cum from all sides. Her little body was coated instantly with sticky cum as more enormous cum shots from those massive cocks fell like waterfalls onto her. The sheer nastiness of it set her off into another screaming orgasm as she thrashed about in the pool of deep cum she now lay in. Fuck it felt so good to cum! Her eyes were wide open as another orgasm was instantly building up within her as the giants finished their massive spurts of cumming. The dark messenger of Koas frantically pushed herself to her feet and she spread her legs wide for the cheering giants there to witness. Her fingers rapidly pumped in and out of her sensitive cunt as her breaths came in sharp gasps of need to cum once again. Standing knee deep in a pool of cum, tendrils of the white creamy jizz dripped from her chin and nipples capping those large breasts in thick ropes. Lexiss was beside herself as she rubbed the cum all over her tits and body like it was the most wonderful body oil every created. The giants continued to cheer and hoot at the sight of the beauty before them rubbing her clit now furiously with her whole body glistening wet from their cum. The sheer dirtiness of being in this situation and the shame of loving every bit of it finally drove Lexiss over the edge into one of the most powerful climaxes she'd every had! "YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as her knees shook in barely supporting her stance. Pussy juices squirted from her cunt to shower to pool she stood in. Finally dropping to her knees in exhaustion, the shadow mistress could only gasp for breath heavily in making her large tits bob on her chest. With her performance, the giants were sure to become a powerful force for her goddess. That knowledge made her smile all the more. ******************** Hours seemed to have passed since Blaze first entered the empty city. He now knew it to be a vast city. He walked along the streets paved with stone as he looked about. Over half of the buildings had long since collapsed inward on themselves with only the outside walls still remaining. There were other buildings still intact along the main streets. He could see many of these being shops and even a few homes to residents long since gone. Even though most windows were missing and doors swinging freely, he dared not enter such old structures. He wouldn't be much help to the others if a building collapsed in on top of him. The fog still persisted in this city. Coupled with the fog was the darkness of night as the sun had long since set. This left the vast city with a gloomy, bone-chilling feeling. He certainly felt that he was being watched and was sure that he wouldn't see who it was. It was a haunted place to be sure. Filled with dark specters wondering who had dared enter their ancient home and envious he still had the gift of life within him. Such wondering thoughts made him shiver in fear. How could a warrior fight ghosts? Already knowing the answer to that he continued to press onward. Blaze called out the names of his lovers every now and then, but the only answer he received was his own echo. With no answer to his last call, he studied the ruin with some interest. The architecture of the city astounded him even though it was all in disrepair. No human city he had seen so far even came close to the sophistication and size of the one here. He had always known buildings could only reach up to two levels with very few towering up to three. Here, though, he saw buildings easily reaching up six to seven floors in height. He would occasionally pass small palaces that rich noble families must have resided in. The domes and tower structures he didn't know were possible being built in such a way. It was shortly after that the young warrior entered the large plaza. It was so large that he could only faintly make out what looked to be a massive temple on the other end through the fog. To the left and right of him sat rows of stone gargoyles perched in various positions. It almost felt as if each pair of gargoyle eyes turned to regard him as dinner having served itself. The ugly creatures were carved perfectly as they were both intimidating and frightening. The craftsmanship fascinated him as he walked along the row to his right. One caught his eye in particular. He moved over to look at it curiously. The gargoyle looked to have weathered nature better than its cracked and crumbling companions. He wondered why the stone workers made this one more appealing to the eye than the other fearsome statues. The gargoyle was quite obviously female and held an attractive look to her. His eyes roamed down to see her huge stone rack! Apparently some of the carvers had a perverted mind and keen eye for the female body. Nor did the carver give the female much clothing. All she wore was a low cut top showing much cleavage with only one shoulder strap. The skimpy shirt cut off shortly beneath her breasts. Other than that, all she wore was a loin cloth over her privates held up by a belt. He heard a small tumble of stone behind him that drew his attention away. He didn't see Kendra or Nadine where the sound had come from and the fog was already thickening quickly again. With a sigh, he turned back to study the female gargoyle more. POW!!!!!!! Blaze grunted as pain exploded through his jaw from underneath before the impact sent him sailing through the air. He gasped as the air was knocked out of him when he landed roughly on his back. Pain lanced through his already bruised back in protest to the rough landing. He slowly got to his feet as he struggled to regain his breath. He checked his jaw and found it sore, but not broken. "Who are you?" asked a deep, feminine voice from the fog, "And for what reason do you trespass into the forbidden Nervei?" The voice certainly wasn't either Nadine's or Kendra's. He looked back to the pedestal and saw the female gargoyle statue no longer there. Dear Stavros help him now. He murmured a small prayer as he realized what was going on. "I do not mean to trespass," he said shakily as his hand slowly reached for one of his swords, "I am seeking two friends I have lost in this fog. I suspect they are wandering in the city doing the very same themselves." "You lie... You seek the treasure of Nervei, human," the sexy voice said from behind him now. He whipped around to see it was too late as the shadowy figure had already lunged at him. He held in his breath just in time as he braced for the impact. She hit him with surprising force as she tackled him to the ground. For the third time that eve, his back felt the pain of impact as he was firmly pinned to the ground. For heaven's sake will someone give his poor back a damn break!? Her hands had an iron grip on his arms as she pinned them down. She settled her weight down on him quickly as she straddled him. He felt her tail coil about his legs to prevent him from kicking. Now that she was up close to him, Blaze could see her clearly now. He cursed himself for being concentrated too much on those big jugs of hers. The gargoyle was not stone as the fog had disguised her in the gloomy light. Her skin and wings were actually blue rather than the gray of stone. And how could he have missed her hair? The shock of hair on her head that ran down the length of her back was a blood red that contrasted with her skin tone nicely. Add in her more human like appearance and she was quite obviously one damn gorgeous female! "You will not get the treasure nor will you live another day to spread your lies, human," She said with a dark smile, revealing the elongated canines of sharp fangs. The female gargoyle towering above him shifted slightly. That movement made her big breasts sway slightly in such an eye-catching way that he couldn't help but stare. With her pinning him as she was, those large round blue orbs swung so closely to his face. Damn what a rack! He felt his cock jerk in response to his arousal. He cursed himself. This wasn't the time, but it had a mind of its own. Soon he had a full raging boner tenting his pants as he was about to be killed by this gargoyle. She growled threateningly down to him, but halted in surprise. Her eyes opened wide in shock and her mouth opened in a silent, "Oh!" He knew the source of her shock. She straddled him just right to where the tent in his pants was under the skimpy loin cloth and rubbing against that bare blue pussy of hers. He was surprised to watch her close her eyes with a soft moan as she rubbed her pussy against him. "Oh fuck.... A cock..... It's been so long..." she whispered lustily between pleased growls. Blaze could only sit there and watch in amazement as the gargoyle's demeanor changed from life threatening to passionate lust. She was moaning constantly now as her hips dry humped her cunt against him. She growled lustily as she released her grip on him. Still he didn't dare make any threatening moves. She slid back off his lap to where she gazed closely at the bulge in his trousers. Her hands made quick work of the fastenings and soon hand his pale cock wrapped in her blue hand with his leggings pushed down to his ankles. Despite his fear, he could only groan as she pumped his cock slowly within her fist. She looked up to him with a hungry look much like Kendra often had, "What's your name, human?" "It's Blaze," he moaned submissively. She was stroking his rod wonderfully. The female gargoyle leaned forward and kissed the tip of his cock head with her ruby red lips, "Mmmm.. A pleasure to meet you Blaze. I am Tyra Rohanna. If you do well enough in pleasuring me tonight, I will give you a reprieve. I will let you live and escort you out of Nervei." He felt a surge of hope and relief at the same time. She wasn't going to kill him yet and all he had to do was give her physical pleasure she so needed. "Alright, Tyra. I'll do my best for you then." "Good," she said with a smile,"But first, I want a taste of this beautiful cock. It's been so long that I've almost forgotten what it's like." Without hesitating a moment further, Tyra leaned forward to flick her tongue against his cock head a few times before kissing the head gently. The pleasure of that hot tongue against him drew a grunt from him as the precum oozed thickly out of the slit in his arousal. Tyra chuckled and slid her tongue over the flared head, taking it off and into her mouth. She closed her eyes as she tasted him with satisfied expression. Her eyes opened to turn her dark gaze up to him as she smiled. "Mmmm.. You taste sweet, Blaze," she growled softly as her hands stroked the base of his cock and balls. Her red lips parted once again to take him into her mouth. Blaze could only lay there and groan as the intense pleasure surged from his rod through the rest of his body. The beautiful gargoyle concentrated on the sensitive head inside her hot, eager mouth. Then she surprised him by sucking harder and swallowing his dick deep into her throat. He felt her shift and could feel those full, lush breasts move against his thighs. He could feel her soft warm flesh and rock hard nipples of her tits. Damn she was sucking him like there was no tomorrow! He was so deeply in her throat and she still acted as if it were nothing difficult. All this time she kept her dark gaze centered on his face as she began to bob her head up and down the entire length of him. The young warrior could only groan as he was taken along the ride of bliss as this blue beauty sucked him off expertly. He could easily hear Tyra's wet sucking of him while she coated his rod with her saliva lovingly as it repeatedly dove down deeply into her throat. At times she would draw back to nibble on the spongy cockhead teasingly before letting it slide back down her throat with a deep inhale and cheek-hollowing suck. Tyra smiled inwardly as she watched Blaze squirm about on the ground from her hot blowjob. Time to give this wonderfully hung man a taste of heaven. With one last plunge downward, she locked that big hunk of meat into her throat. She gave soft little throaty moans of pleasure with him so deep down into her. These moans made her vocal cords vibrate against that sensitive rod. Those sweet vibrations moved up the entire length of him as she moaned continuously now about him. Blazing Glory Ch. 04 Blaze lost his breath again, but for good reasons this time! Tyra was doing something to his cock when the vibrations hit him. Dear gods he'd never felt anything like it before! Every sensitive nerve inside his dick seemed to light up and go crazy. It was too much! Without any time or breath to warn her, Blaze felt cum surge forward up the length of his cock before erupting in thick white blessed spurts into her throat. The sexy blue gargoyle's eyes widened when she heard him and quickly drew back, swallowing the cum that rapidly filled her mouth. She growled hotly in satisfaction as she lapped at his spewing slit, catching gobs of his thick cum before swallowing them. What she couldn't catch, she saw fall into her full breasts and between the alluring valley of cleavage. Tyra groaned with lustful need as she rubbed that shiny cum onto the exposed expanse of her blue tits. Looking up, she was amazed to see him still so erect after cumming as hard as he did. That wet cock standing up so proudly made her pussy slicken with ravenous need. "Fuck me, Blaze! I need you to fuck me so hard and fast! It's been too long since I was taken by a male," she groaned pleadingly, not caring if she lost control of the situation. She wanted that cock! She saw her own hunger reflected in his own eyes as he gripped her shoulders firmly. He rolled her over onto her back as he rolled with her to now be the one on top. His eyes took in the sight of Tyra laying there, wings fanned out beneath her like a blanket. Her large hard nipples poked up against the thin cloth of her top. Blaze watched Tyra lift the front of her loin cloth to reveal those bare blue pussy lips so wet with arousal and need. Not one to deny a creature who could tear him apart easily in mere seconds if he did not, he positioned himself between her legs. Tyra filled the ruins with her scream of pleasure as she felt him slam that cock into her ready cunt. She quivered as her pussy spasmed about the welcome intruder. Hearing the human grunt, she could only smile a bit sadly. She knew her pussy was tight as it had been far too long since it had had a visitor down there. The foxy gargoyle lay there in bliss moaning as she felt him thrusting into her with hard rough strokes. Her twat was getting so much more wet around his cock. Her big tits bounced up and down on her chest with her very little clothing barely containing those massive blue orbs. The young warrior clenched his teeth as he tried to hold back from cumming again too quickly. Tyra's twat was not virginal like Nadine's, but it sure was milking and squeezing his cock like it was. She lay moaning beneath him in such bliss at finally having physical pleasure. He then realized that she must truly be the only one of her kind here. The loneliness of not having a companion let alone a lover. The sadness he felt for her made him determined to give her his best. With a grunt of focused mind, he slammed himself into her pussy as hard as fast as he could. Tyra wailed her approval at first before she shrieked at the top of her lungs in true gargoyle fashion. "YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!" her sexy voice screamed as her cunt tightened about him. Tyra's closed her eyes tightly as her world came crashing down. The long denied and much needed release burst through her in a raging torrent. Her clawed hands ripped long savage gouges through the solid stone at her sides as her cunt coated his pounding rod with hot gargoyle cum. Shaking in pure ecstasy, she thrust herself against him in time with his own thrusts as she rode the waves of her orgasm. Then she opened her eyes in shock as she felt something warm and wet on one of her breasts. The tempting sight of those bouncing breasts had been too much for the poor guy. Still fucking Tyra's cumming pussy, he pushed the flimsy top up with one hand. Those blue breasts sprung free and bounced about with their dark blue nipples standing up proudly. He leaned down to lick the firm nipple before taking it into his mouth to suck on it hard. Hearing her gasp in shock, he nibbled on that hard bud as his other hand groped her other mouth-free boob. His fingers rolled her other nipple about as he attacked this beautiful set of jugs that first drew him to her. Soon he heard her screaming and begging him not to stop sucking her tits. He was sucking on her tits! Tyra couldn't believe it or the feelings from those sensitive nipples. It felt so damn fucking good. She shivered beneath his mouth before screaming as he sent her into another earth-shattering climax when she hadn't even finished coming down from the first one. Her juices now coated her inner thighs as well as his as she coated that plunged cock again. He bit her nipple roughly as she felt him tense against her. With a low pleased moan, she felt his cum filling her cunt so wonderfully. She had laid there submissively as the human took free reign above her to fuck her hard, drive her to glorious climax and fill her with his hot white jizz. Tyra loved every second of it! Blaze groaned and lay down on top of Tyra. Her arms wrapped about him as both man and gargoyle lay there for minutes as they recovered from the fast, hot sex. After a few minutes, he felt Tyra grip his head firmly. Fear surged back through him as she could easily pop his head like a grape! That fear quickly disappeared when she kissed him fully and lovingly on the lips. He returned the kiss and found it wasn't unpleasant. After all, Tyra was very much human-like in appearance. Tyra broke the kiss gently and smiled up to him, "Thank you, Blaze. I really needed that. I'm sorry about earlier... because I believe you now. A true thief would have either run at first chance or killed me when I was quite obviously at their mercy as I was you." "No need to apologize for a small misunderstanding, Tyra," he said with a grin, "And it was my pleasure to give you what you wished." Tyra nodded as her hand roamed over her heaving breasts in fond reminiscing already. She looked up to him with a sad sigh, wishing he could stay her and be her lover always. But a deal was a deal. "Come, Blaze. Let's find your friends and I will help show you the way out." Seeing as they still wore most their clothing, they both dried themselves off in those areas with some clean clothes from his pack. When both were ready, they set off side by side into the foggy ruins. ******************** Nadine hugged her arms about herself was she walked in the damp ruins. Her golden eyes glanced around nervously in the dense fog. She had become separated from her friends and was completely lost. She remembered the long dangerous tumble she took down that steep hill before she rolled into the ruins. The hill was too steep to climb and had left her with the only choice to enter the ruins in hopes that one of the old roads would lead to the path she and her friends had been traveling on. It had been the wrong choice. The dark furred catwoman sniffed as despair filled her. She would be lost in these ruins forever and never find her companions. She wiped the tear from her eye as she shook that thought from her mind. She knew they wouldn't give up on finding her and so she couldn't give up either. She sat down upon an ancient stone bench by an old fountain to rest. Nadine had been wandering about for hours and felt so very tired from all the traveling. The sexy catwoman yelped in surprise when she heard a scream echo through the ruins from far away. It almost sounded feminine. Shivering in fear, she glanced about the now quiet surroundings. Then she heard the other sound that was much closer than the scream. Giving a small scream of her own, the surprised lycan leapt away from the bench and looked behind her. Her blood ran cold at what she saw creeping out of the dark alleyway. It first looked your average puma. But what set her blood on ice were the multiple tentacles that protruded from his back and swayed about threateningly. Each tentacle end held the thick bulbous head of a cock already oozing cum in evil hunger. It was a tishra beast! She had thought the creatures were long since extinct. They'd been created in one of the many legendary wars long ago by warlocks. When a female enemy agent was captured, these beasts were used to sexually torture the information out of them. Quite often the women were literally fucked to death. But they were supposed to have been wiped out by the wizards who won that war. The tishra beast stepped out of the shadows and growled hungrily towards her. Nadine's fur stood on end as she hissed warningly at it. Both felines circled each other in the street. Nadine knew there was no use in running. Her claws extending out of her fingers as she prepared to fight. The monster lunged at her quickly only to catch her foot into the side of its head. The kick sent the beast crashing down beside her, but one of those tentacles caught her at the same time with a slap across her face. The surprise attack sent her staggering backwards with the force. The dazed catwoman quickly regained her senses just in time to see another tentacle lash out low to sweep her legs. Nadine yelped and jumped high into the air and flipped over to land squarely on the beasts head. Dust rose around them from the thunderous impact of the beast's head into the ground. It seemed as if those damn tentacles had a mind of their own as another lashed out to slap her wetly with the head as another wrapped about her waist. The catwoman screamed angrily as she was lifted up helplessly into the air. More tentacles surrounded and restrained her thrashing arms and legs quickly. The two around her legs pulled them wide apart to expose her pussy lips. Feeling vulnerable, she whimpered softly as she curled her tail between her legs to cover her ass and twat. Nadine could only whimper again in frustration as another powerful tentacle forcefully pulled her tail away in an iron grip. "No.. no.. nooooo!" she wailed in frustration as he felt one of those heads press against the lips of her pussy. Her wails turned to screams as the tentacle thrust brutally forward into her. She cried as her pussy was violated fully by the thick tentacle. With torturous slowness, the tentacle began to slide in and out of her pussy. Nadine's furry tits bobbed up and down on her chest with the movements as the familiar burn began to build inside her cunt from the thrusting. In the middle of the street stood the tishra beast, looking up at the gorgeous and quite helpless catwoman bouncing up and down slightly with the vicious fuck strokes of the thick rod slamming into her furry cunt. The lycan woman soft moans soon grew louder with more passionate need as the tentacles rubbed their cum slickened heads over those furry, sensitive tits. Another thick tentacle slid into the valley between her breasts before the other ones pushed from the sides. Those furry orbs encased the slimy rod as it thrust between them in time with the one ruthlessly assaulting her wet quim. Nadine could only whimper softy as her body betrayed her. With an abrupt scream, she came furiously around the thick pole and gushed her cum all over it. She cried softly as she felt her muscles clench around it and coax it into its own orgasm as it pumped its foul loads into her. With a disgusting wet pop, it withdrew from her ravaged pussy. Her hopes of finality were dashed to pieces before they could even form when she saw another cock tentacle waiting to replace the one withdrawing. She felt something press up against her ass at the same time. Eyes opened wide, the lycan struggled mightily to no avail, "NOOOOO!!! Not both at the same time!!!" Her scream filled the air as she found out that she had guessed right. Both cocks brutally thrust into her cum-filled twat and pretty ass at the same time. Nadine arched her back and presented those large boobs to the sky as they bounced about her chest with the powerful tentacle tit fucking. It hurt, but to her own shame it hurt so good. Nadine silently felt glad her lover had taken her virginity in both pussy and ass before this beast had. She moaned helplessly as she felt herself building to another wonderful climax as the two tentacles in her alternated their thrusts. As the thick meaty protrusion in her cunt pulled out, the other was pushing into her firm butt's tight little whole. They pistoned in and out of her holes rapidly without end or mercy. The tishra beast growled as the three rods abusing her breasts jerked about wildly before matting the fur of her tits wetly with multiple spurts of thick gooey jizz. Nadine cried as her cunt squeezed tightly as another orgasm ripped through her before another soon followed. Soon she was washed away to the tide of bliss as she couldn't stop cumming. She was going to be fucked to death, but she couldn't do anything but thrust back against the tentacles with a passionate desire for more. ******************** Kendra kicked a rock in her fury. It skipped across the ground before disappearing into the mists. She was lost in these damn ruins. Her head still hurt from the blow that had knocked her out. She had tumbled down after Blaze before her head struck a tree root early in the fall. She had woken up later to find that darkness had already come and Blaze was nowhere to be found. She had found his tracks and saw that they led into the ruins. No doubt he thought she had been in there. And the damn fog was still all around her. This succubus was in one foul mood! Screams replaced the eerie silence in the ruins. They were frantic, yelping screams that sounded all too familiar. Cursed Abyss! Had Richard found Nadine already and couldn't hold himself back from fucking her? She couldn't blame him. She smirked as she thought about the catwoman's wicked tongue. But as she listened, the succubus knew these were no cries of pleasure. Rounding the corner quickly, she gasped at what she saw. Some catlike creature was had the poor lycan above it and was raping her ass and cunt. Nadine hung limply upside down as her lush body quivered and shook in continuous orgasm. The creamy nectar of her feminine body frothed about the intruder and soaked her inner thighs. Multiple free tentacles squirted what looked to be cum all over her. A part of her looked on and wanted to let it continue. It would serve the bitch right for trying to steal her man. She didn't listen to that thought as she brought out her whip quickly. Kendra had come to know and understand Nadine better. Nadine was a friend and no damn beast was going to do this to her! Fuming, Kendra walked up to the distracted beast. With one wicked lash across, her whip severed every single extension from the creature's back. The beast howled in pain as blackish blood spouted upwards everywhere. Nadine fell limply away from the beast and landed off to the side roughly. Gritting her teeth angrily, that damn howling was getting on her nerves. With a crack of her whip, the hard leather coiled about the beast's neck. She yanked firmly with her demonic strength and ripped its head right off its body. The howling silenced quickly and the body slumped forward, blackish blood pooling about it. Putting her whip away, Kendra sighed softly to herself. Oh how she had needed that. She'd been aching to kill something after hours of being so pissed off. The catwoman groaned weakly not far from her. Kneeling down beside the exhausted lycan, Kendra couldn't help but be amazed Nadine was still alive. Gripping the furry tentacles all around her friend, Kendra carefully pulled them off of her. Nadine whimpered when she pulled the dead things out of her holes. The demoness tossed the slimy things away with disgust. Her hand grasped the soft-furred shoulder and shook, "Nadine? Talk to me... Are you wounded?" A whimpering cough before she glanced upwards, "No... but... thanks" Kendra shook her head as she looked her over. The catwoman wasn't bleeding, but she was literally covered in monster cum. She grasped the lycan's arm firmly and lifted her up to her feet. Arm over her shoulder, she carried the ravaged woman over to the running fountain. "No offense, Nadine, but you need a bath badly," she smiled teasingly. That drew a small giggle from her friend. "What was that thing, though?" Nadine sighed as they reached the fountain and lowered herself into the water, "A tishra beast. I thought they were extinct." The succubi's soft vanilla lips curled upwards in an evil smirk, "They are now...." ******************** Tyra and Blaze had been wandering about the ruins for a while now as they looked about silently. The gargoyle's knowledge of her whereabouts in the ruins was impressive. Not once did they come to a dead end or go through an area they had already been before. He had to admit that this city was vast in size. Far greater than he could have imagined. So why was such greatness in ruins? He glanced to her as she walked beside him. He had been surprised at her height. Things looked different up close and on the ground as they had been. But she towered above him easily. A physically intimidating female she was most certainly. "Tyra. What is this place? You called it Nervei, but I've never heard of such a place." The gargoyle regarded him with her dark gaze as they continued to walk on, "I'm surprised you don't, actually. But it has been so long that I shouldn't be surprised the legend has faded away. This is Nervei. One of the great cities of the Natori." "The Nata-who?" he blinked. Tyra laughed softly and smiled to him, "The Natori, Blaze. The greatest empire to rule over the known world. Little is known about them except that they were far ahead of the races present today in culture, intelligence, and sophistication." Blaze felt confused as he thought about this. He gestured to the ruins about them, "If these Natori were so grand, why do their cities lie in ruins and their name is long since forgotten?" "It is true that all things must pass in time. Cities abandoned and crumble as those cultures fade into memory before disappearing entirely from the known world. One of the many things that happen as the sun and moon passes overhead in constant pursuit of each other," she said as she gazed to the heavens, "But not for the Natori. They did not give in to time, but sealed their fates through their own foolish arrogance." "How could foolish arrogance bring down an entire empire?" "It is easier than you can imagine," Tyra said as she looked back to him now with a frown, "They openly defied the gods. They said there was no need to worship them anymore as they, the Natori, had become gods themselves in their own eyes. As you can understand, this infuriated the gods to no end." Blaze shivered slightly and shook his head in dismay, "Just one god's anger chills me to the bone. They had to be crazy to infuriate all the gods." "Oh, crazy alright," she laughed, "Crazy with pride. You would think that would be enough. Though they were not gods themselves, they were highly gifted in the magic mixed with an art they referred to as 'alchemy'. The Natori created weapons in challenge to the gods. Weapons that could truly do the unthinkable." "Weapons? What kind of weapon could challenge a god?" "Weapons that could kill them," she said simply. Tyra couldn't help but laugh when he missed a step at that revelation. "So you could understand not only the fear, but the intense fury of the gods. So great that they all attacked the Natori. The gods of evil acted because of the hatred they held for the Natori. The gods of good acted to prevent such weapons being used to conquer the other peaceful mortal races. The gods of neutrality acted simply to keep the balance in the world as it should be. The destruction of the Natori was so swift and absolute with the power of the gods that is was a brutal sight to behold. In fact, the complete destruction of the Natori disturbed the gods about what they had done so much they all swore a binding oath to never directly act against the mortal world again." Blazing Glory Ch. 04 The young warrior whistled softly as he absorbed this all in. He remained silent as they continued walking and looking about for a few minutes. Questions burned in his mind and he had to ask them. "How do you know all this, Tyra? Why are you even here in these ruins?" "The past guardian gargoyles filled me in as those prior to them had done as well. I'm here to protect the treasure of Nervei. Some of the gods completely wiped some cities off the face of the earth. Others were more subtle in annihilating the Natori while leaving the cities intact. Nervei is one of those cities. The treasure it holds is one of those powerful weapons. That is why I am among one of several guardians here preventing it from falling into the wrong hands. There has always been one of my kind present. A gargoyle's purpose is to always protect something." Tyra smiled knowingly at his dazed look of astonishment with the realization of what he had stumbled into. "But don't go thinking about wanting it now, Blaze. I won't like it, but I will kill you if I have to." He nodded that he understood clearly. He wouldn't even want to touch such a thing for fear of bringing a god's wrath down upon him. Blaze slowed down and grabbed Tyra's shoulder to stop her. She frowned and looked in him in question, but he signaled for silence. The gargoyle nodded in understanding as he listened carefully. He could faintly make out the talking of voices approaching that sounded all too familiar. Looking to his left, they watched two feminine figures in the mist before appearing as a winged succubus and dark-furred catwoman. "Kendra! Nadine! Over here," he called out. They looked about before finding him and both smiled in relief as they ran over to him. Soon the poor young man was seized by both women and crushed in the twin hugs combined together. Even though he couldn't breathe, he hugged them back tightly as well. He drew back as they released him and looked down to his one arm and side being damp now. He looked to Nadine and saw her fur looked freshly washed and still damp from the water. "Nadine, why are you all wet?" he asked. The lycan looked down to the fur matting her breasts with her nipples poking out quite obviously "Oh! I ran into a beast in these ruins. It raped me and squirted its gunk all over me" she sniffed slightly but managed a small smile, "Thankfully, Kendra showed up and killed it swiftly. I was a mess and took a dip in a fountain to clean off." "It must have been one of Nervei's guardians then. This is Tyra Rohanna," he said, indicating the gargoyle that had been standing off to the side, "She is one of the guardians as well. Tyra, these are my friends. Kendra Tansanee and Nadine Teigra." Tyra nodded with a small smile and the others smiled in return. He was about to explain how they met when an ear-piercing wail filled the air all around them. All of them covered their ears until it faded away. Blaze's ears had a nasty ring in them still as he looked to the others. Nadine and Kendra looked to be just as confused at what happened. He looked to Tyra. The gargoyle had a look of pure shock as panic began to fill her expression. "What's wrong Tyra?" he asked, "And what was that horrible sound about?" 'The treasure! It's a spell to signal to the guardians someone has laid hands upon it and taken it from where it lay," she growled. No sooner had she said that then the gargoyle was thundering full speed back in the direction they had come. Blaze and the others ran after her before they were left to be lost once again. ******************** The run was a long and weary one. Sweat dripped down his face as his legs carried him in a dead run after the gargoyle. It was hard keeping up with Tyra with those long powerful legs that attributed to her height. He stole a brief glance behind him to the others. Kendra had her wings out and beat them as she flew low right behind him. Right beside her, Nadine was using her hands and feet to lope along like a great cat of the jungle does in its burst of speed. The buildings they were speeding past looked quite familiar. Blaze soon new where he was and what was to come. True to his thoughts, they burst out into the plaza and sped by the columns of stone gargoyles towards that temple he had seen in the distance. It was further away than he had realized as it took longer than expected to reach it. He and Tyra bounded up the steps towards the entrance, taking many of the steps three at a time. Following the gargoyle, they wound their way through inner chambers and hallways of the old building. As soon as he began to wonder how deeply into this building they had to go, they entered a circular room with no other exits. In the middle of the large domed room stood a marble altar with two stands on each side lighting the room with their fires. The room was not clean and had ash scattered about it in some places. Standing by the alter was a figure wearing black armor with sharp spikes about the shoulders and gauntlets. Tyra stopped to study the intruder as the rest of them stumbled to a halt right beside her. Hearing their entrance, the figure turned around to reveal itself as a woman. She had red hair as bright as the flames that fell just past her shoulders. She was an attractive woman with bold features and a confident air about her. The most unsettling feature about the woman was her eyes. They were a bright yellow like the sun and burned brightly. But they had no pupils! "Ahhh yes. More lambs come to the slaughter then?" the woman laughed as she finished tying a bundle about her and securely against her back. "Who are you?" growled Tyra. The woman's lips curled up in an evil smirk. When Kendra smirked, it held a sensual confidence to it. But this woman's smirk made his blood run cold. It was one of a heartless killer. She turned about to face them fully, and placed her hand upon her cocked hip. "Danika Savine, mighty Koas's personal enforcer of her wishes," she said with a dangerous coolness that belied dangerous deadliness. Tyra growled as she took a threatening step forward, "Put it back! There is no escape as other guardians are on their way as well. You're outnumbered." Danika smiled coldly and pointed to the ashes, "Oh you mean your friends there? Yes. There was quite a few of them. But as they say, ashes to ashes." The gargoyle's fists clenched angrily as the fiery haired woman laughed. Blaze felt something brush by him before he himself could react. Nadine moved with quick speed as she charged the enforcer of a goddess. Nadine lashed out with a kick angrily only to witness Danika block it easily. The catwoman yelped in surprise before the air whooshed right out of her. Danika's fist sunk deeply into the lycan's gut before the unnatural force finally sent Nadine flying backwards to crash into a wall. Blaze winced at the sickening thud of the impact and again when she crashed into the floor. Nadine hissed in pain as she struggled to get up. A furious cry drew his attention to see Kendra diving from above towards the powerful enforcer. Her long soft vanilla colored hair whipped about as the air rushed by from the quick dive while her arm cocked back to unleash her ready whip. Danika simply stood there with that smirk before she opened her palm towards the succubus. Blaze and Tyra staggered backwards from the force as a fountain of flames exploded from that hand towards the demoness. Kendra had no time to react from the sudden blast. He could only watch in horror as his lover was engulfed in the hot flames. The fire crashed into the nearby wall and sent large rocks and debris crashing down to the floor. Of Kendra he saw no sign. "KENDRA!!!!!!!" he yelled. She was gone! This enforcer had killed her. He trembled as the fury boiled forth and turned slowly to look at her. Danika brushed her hand smoothly with no emotion as if she had merely swatted away an annoying fly. Deep down inside him, he felt the boiling anger and anguish pressing upon him. That sight of her so cool after destroying Kendra did it. Blaze snapped. Both his swords were out and in his hands in an instant as he screamed a scream of pure primal rage. Blaze then charged forward with a roar of hatred. He was going to kill this bitch! He was going to cut that cold smirk right off her fucking face! He would tear her organs out with his bare hands! He hungered to hear her screams of anguish. He hungered for her blood! He would butcher her so much he would be bathed in her blood! His vision turned red as she turned to regard him. Danika reached to her hip and pulled out her sword. He faintly registered the broadsword she held was literally on fire. A flame sword! He slashed at her with his right sword from across. She deflected his blade with her own easily but he was already following his move with another. Spinning about, he brought his other sword from below to swipe upwards, hungry for the sight of splitting her in two from crotch right up through her skull. Danika frowned now as she now looked to be taking him more seriously than she had the others as she deflected his left sword up and away. But he had the advantage with two lighter swords than hers as his right blade swept in again. The enforcer saw the blade sweeping in on her left just barely in time to duck her head backwards. She moved quickly, but not enough as the tip sliced across her left cheek. Danika quickly backed away as the hot blood streamed out of the wicked cut. Her yellow eyes looked to him in plain shock that he had actually landed a small blow on her. He didn't care though as he already moved in for another attack. Too late he realized in his blind fury that another head-on attack wouldn't work. She was already prepared as she raised her fiery blade above her head. She was going to bring it down and split him in half. Blaze quickly brought his blades up above him and crossed them just in time. Her sword same crashing down into that notch of his swords with such force that he drove him down to his knees. His arms trembled as he struggled to keep that sword caught between his swords from coming down to split his skull. "Impressive, little man," she said with a cold sneer, "No one has ever wounded me before in a fight. Strange about your blades though. That blow would have shattered most swords. You should give my compliments to your blacksmith. If you ever live to see him again, that is!" Danika then slid her flame engulfed blade down against his own, sending a shower of hot sparks raining down upon him. He cried out in pain and staggered backwards with his arm over his face to protect him from the hot embers. He dropped his arm to see the enforcer moving her sword in for the kill. A blur shot out of his left. Tyra barreled her shoulder into Danika with such force that it sent the powerful enemy flying herself for a pleasant change. Danika slammed into the wall and crumpled to the ground. When she looked up, she saw the intimidating gargoyle standing where she had been previously. Only now the gargoyle held a large mace with a huge morning star on the end. The sight was enough to even shake her ever present confidence. Her mission was complete as she had what she needed. Time to get the hell out of here. Both Blaze and Tyra watched as Danika stood and held her palm out, facing upwards. A flame appeared above the palm before it grew intensely hot in a blinding white flash. They shut their eyes quickly from the light and heard the thief run out the door. Try as he might, Blaze couldn't open his eyes. It hurt so much! When he finally could open them a bit, his vision was too blurred. After a few silent minutes, both of them were finally able to see well enough again. Nadine limped over to them and sighed softly, "I'm sorry guys. I tried but I didn't know she was that strong." Blaze only smiled reassuringly to her and gave her a tight hug. "You did what you knew to be the right thing. She had to be stopped." The grief was welling up inside him though. That was until he heard some nasty words being muttered underneath the rubble nearby. They all looked there in surprise as the succubus kicked out of the rubble and stood up. Kendra dusted herself off with an angry grumble. Nadine yelped in surprise, "You're not dead, Kendra? But how? We all saw you engulfed in the flames." "Well that fire demon didn't know I was a demon," Kendra said and spat on the ground as if some of the dust had gotten into her mouth, "Hellfire won't affect us creatures of the Abyss." She walked over to them with her usual sensual sway, looking perfectly fine if not a bit dusty. Kendra gasped when Blaze seized her and hugged her tightly to where she couldn't even breathe. Her eyes blinked wide before a blush grew across her cheeks. Her arms wrapped about him as she returned the loving embrace. Tyra sighed sadly, "I've failed. The weapon is gone and now there is nothing left to protect." Blaze and Kendra then looked to the defeated looking gargoyle. "Let's go after her, Tyra. We can't let them have such a weapon. We'll get it back. You're welcome to come with us." Both Kendra and Nadine nodded that they agreed. Tyra smiled thankfully, "Fine then. No sense in me hanging around here anymore. While we do that, I will take up the responsibility of protecting my new lover. That okay, Blaze?" All color drained from his face at Tyra's words as what he feared happened as sure as the sun rises and sets every day. "LOVER!?" Kendra and Nadine yelled. They both turned to look angrily at him. He held his hands up quickly, "Wait! I can explain!... Oooooh SHIT!" He turned and ran for the exit. "Get back here!" screamed the succubus as she gave chase with the hissing catwoman right behind her. Tyra simply smiled and shook her head as she ran after the terrified man and furious women. ******************** Koas sat in her dark throne room as usual. There was no doubt as to where she was as her red eyes glowed angrily. She was livid in anger. Yet again those fools had meddled into her plans! They didn't spoil this plan fortunately, but came close enough to be sure. Enough was enough! They had interfered for the last time. She knew now what she had to do. She knew what held them together as she summoned one of her servants. She would send the message that would travel quickly to who she had in mind. It was time she put a contract out for hire.

Chapter 5 - The Dark Assassin Fiery liquid earth erupted high into the sky from the mouth of the angry mountain before landing upon its side in bright red rain of death. This wasn't the only mountain throwing a tantrum. Other mountains that formed a formidable barrier to the land of Nealon spewed forth their own fury. Some hurled massive rocks into the air big enough to crush entire villages. Another sent incinerating geysers of hot steam and ash into the air all around its summit. One in particular loved to send avalanches of hot ash and rocks down its slopes with such incredible speed. The red light of the earth's destructive power illuminated a lone figure that leaned forward against the windowsill, watching the wrath of the mountains of Nealon. The figure was that of a woman with an attractive slenderness in body as she gazed out towards the rocky giants. The woman wore a simple one piece dress, purple in color. It complimented the odd light lavender coloring of her own skin. So light, her skin almost seemed a pure white when the light caught it right when the lightning flashed from the columns of ash rising into the sky. The most striking feature of this beautiful woman was her long hair. The waist-length hair was lustrous dark black and moved about of its own free will. It almost looked as if the woman was actually underwater with her hair swaying with the chaotic water currents of the ocean. When the woman turned away from the window, it was clear that she was one of the most exotically beautiful females in all the known world. The dress reached up her chest to a single point, covering her firm medium sized breasts. Her face was beautifully angled with a slender nose and full lavender colored lips. Eye shadow make-up of the very same color complimented those slender dark brows and skin. It especially complimented those red eyes... Koas sighed softly, relishing the beautiful chaos outside her large castle. Her slender tongue darted out to lick her lips with satisfaction. Such powerful discord from the earth itself made her quiver with physical pleasure. She smiled darkly as she walked with a pleased sway to her hips towards her massive throne. It was an intimidating structure of black onyx. Slaves had worked tirelessly under the whips of her servants to carve the sharp spikes around the outer edges. At the zenith of the backrest was a well-carved gaping human skull over her head as she sat down on the cushions. Rubies set in the skull's eye sockets glowed with the same malice hers held. Those slaves had done a wonderful job, she had to admit. Being the thoughtful goddess that she was, Koas had rewarded them justly. She had them thrown into the mouth of the volcano. Better a quick, painful death in a pit of lava than the continuing torturous life as a slave right? The thought made her laugh. A flickering in the corner of her vision drew her attention. The crystal orb on a pedestal sat to her left beside her throne. It flickered once again before it began to glow softly. "Mistress Koas? Are you there?" A light feminine voice called out. Koas smiled brightly as she looked to the orb, seeing those oddly colored orange eyes appear within the orb. "That I am, dear Nariko. I am glad to see you received my message so quickly." Those eyes beamed brightly within her orb, "Yes I did, my mistress. It is always a pleasure to kill for you. Who is the target this time?" The smile on the goddess's face faded quickly, "He goes by the name of Blaze. He and his friends are swiftly becoming a thorn in my side. Twice they have disrupted my plans and nearly messed up another." "You do not want his friends eliminated as well?" Koas shook her head and now smiled darkly, "No, my child. I do not want to endanger you. His friends are dangerous, but he is a simple pitiful human. But he leads this group and holds it together. Cut off this snake's head and the rest will scatter to the winds." "Understood," her servant replied. Those eyes flickered with dangerous intent, "How bloody would you like it, mistress? Would you like for him to suffer greatly?" "It doesn't have to be bloody, Nariko," the beautiful goddess said smiling, "He is kind of cute after all. Such a pity. Just make sure it gets done swiftly." "Your wishes are my life to fulfill. So it shall be done," the voice said before those eyes faded as the orb went dark, leaving the immortal goddess basking in the red light of death. ******************** Kendra sat in front of the campfire, gazing silently into the flickering flames. Mixed emotions were mirroring those chaotic tendrils of fire as they flashed through her eyes. The night was quiet with the crescent of the moon passing slowly overhead among a sea of stars. It was a beautiful sight that often drew her gaze from the flames. It gave her peace of heart to stare up to them with her emerald gaze for long periods of time. But when her gaze finally fell back down to the forest about her, the turmoil of emotions returned in a quick rush. The source of those emotions stood a good distance away from her. Still and silent like one of the trees around them, the gargoyle crouched on an outcropping of boulders that jutted out of the ground. Though her powerful body barely moved the entire time, Kendra could see Tyra's dark eyes glancing about in her ever steady watch for any threat. Those eyes were keeping an eye out for the one they pursued. They were ready to challenge Danika once more to a battle. If caught by surprise at night, however, they would easily be done in. Ever since the first night, Tyra had been vehement on taking watch for most of the night. Kendra wondered at times if Tyra actually wanted Danika to show her face. Whenever the fire demon was brought up, the red-headed gargoyle's expression grew hard and her fist tightened. Tyra had a personal score to settle with Koas's enforcer! Kendra smirked at that thought. For the heated blow Danika had dealt her, the succubus was itching to sink her fangs into the fiery bitch as well. A small pleasant shiver ran up her spine at the mental image and made her run her tongue across those pearly white fangs. Kendra liked Tyra well enough. She respected the strength and steadfast calm the guardian exhibited. But that guardian had slept with HER man! She remembered literally chasing her dear Richard up a tree in her anger. The chase had ironically led them out of the ruins of Nervei without Tyra's needed guidance. But no tree could stop this succubus. She brought the young warrior back down to earth with her whip and a firm yank. She winced as she remembered the loud thud of the impact of him hitting the ground. Perhaps she had been too hard on him. Then again, maybe not hard enough! When she and Nadine found out the circumstances of their coupling, their anger slowly diminished. She was happier to still have him alive then dead. Tyra would surely have killed him had she not given in to her desires. Blaze wasn't able to use his blades against Tyra, but managed to use the one 'sword' that delivered the coupe' de grace. Nadine was quick to forgive him and welcome Tyra into their little group. The catwoman's good-natured heart so often surprised Kendra. How could a woman be so.... cheery? Shaking her head, Kendra stood up and left the small camp with Blaze and Nadine sleeping soundly in their bedrolls. She walked silently over to the tall gargoyle through the small bushes. Tyra had heard her coming long in advance with her gaze already turned her. The succubus frowned and kept the wings on her head and lower back pressed close to her so as not to catch any reaching tree branches. She unfurled them as she walked into the clearing, revealing herself to Tyra in all her demonic beauty. The guardian nodded her head in silent greeting with a small smile. Kendra strode up the boulders before leaping up into the air and landing swiftly right beside the gargoyle, her own dark wings steadying her balance as she gained her footing. The demoness sat down beside the crouching gargoyle, extending one long leather encased leg outwards while she rested her right hand on her raised right knee. Tyra regarded her with an amused smile. Kendra supposed she did look like she was posing, but she knew everything she did oozed sensual sexiness. Even just sitting. She laughed softly and gave Tyra a small wink. "Good evening, Kendra," Tyra said as she went back to looking about their dark surroundings, "Why are you still awake this late at night? You should be getting some much needed rest before tomorrow." Kendra smirked and shook her head, making waves of her long bright hair sway gently, "I could say the same about you. No. I couldn't sleep for I had too much on my mind." "I can understand. I have felt pretty much the same for the past few days. What troubles you?" Tyra asked with a glance her way. "To be honest, it's you. I feel that I can like you, Tyra, but that doesn't change the fact that you fucked my man. Blaze is and always will be MY lover." The gargoyle looked shocked and a bit dismayed about this. She sighed and shook her head. "I had suspected that there was something between you and him. From when you reacted to me calling him my lover to seeing you both and how comfortable you are with each other. I suppose a part of me denied such obvious clues could be true so I could hold on to the hope of him being my lover always." "Well be assured that I don't hate you for it. I am grateful you didn't take him away from me permanently like you could have. Do you want to take him away from me and keep him to yourself though?" Kendra asked from a dark frown. Tyra laughed and gave her company a wink this time, "Oh how I wish I could! I would love to have him with me always. It would be such a thrill to be guarding in a crouch and be riding my lover's wonderful cock at the same time. It would make the task of guarding better to be sure. But no, I won't. I respect what you two have together. I wish I could have the same. I've been alone for so long, Kendra. I'd forgotten what it felt like to be in a man's arms until Blaze came along." The tension in Kendra's shoulders eased as she listened to all of this. She sympathized with the gargoyle in that she had gone through a similar experience. She had by no means any trouble of getting men to fuck her. But after that siren bitch had killed her first lover, she had been alone. The distant memory of leaving her kills, wishing they had been wanting her and not just lusting to possess her perfect body. That emptiness had grown inside her for decades, thinking that man Sonora killed had been one of a kind. She now knew it was not so. Richard came into her life finally. He didn't simply fuck her like the rest. He made love to her. No. More than that. He possessed her! He drew out her innermost passion and drove her to new heights in pleasure never before experienced. Yet he wasn't hung like a horse. True he was slightly bigger than the average guy, but that wasn't it. It was his intense focus to bring the most intense pleasure possible to his partner. His soft caresses. His loving whispers in her ear. The way he subtly teased her by not plunging into her quickly but rather held it right to her entrance and letting her anticipation build. When he finally did, it was a penetration of glorious pleasure. Blaze was a man like no other. And he was all hers, she thought with sexy grin. She realized that Tyra was looking at her expectantly as she'd been silent for quite some time. "I must confess. Blaze was a blessing to have come into my life in much the same way. You can understand why I am so possessive of him then. It is well then that you do not mean to take him from me." Tyra nodded and looked up to the star filled sky with the moon having moved quite a bit already. They had been talking for some time. The powerful gargoyle sighed as her shoulders dipped a little. "Still. I wish I could be with him one more time." The guardian looked surprised when Kendra laughed out loud. "Tyra, you can and you will. You see, Nadine has a thing for him too. We came to the agreement that he is, without a doubt, mine alone. Under that agreement, I am willing to share him with her. In fact, the other night while you were off guarding, I watched Nadine have a hot little fuck with him. You should have seen the way he pounded into the kitten! Seeing as you have no intention of taking my sweet stud away from me, I am fine with sharing him with you. I am sure Nadine will be too" Tyra's expression lit up brightly as she smiled, "Thank you, Kendra. Truly." "Don't just thank me yet," the demoness said slyly and winked. Her hand dipped below Tyra's loincloth and rubbed the gargoyle's smooth blue pussy. Kendra licked her vanilla colored lips hungrily. "Because I intend to have a taste of you myself." With that, the gorgeous brown-skinned demoness leapt from the rock abruptly and landed a ways off with smooth grace. Kendra walked back to the camp, leaving the shocked Tyra to stare after her sensually swaying ass. ******************** Blaze had been dreaming all that night. The dreams were all about adventures he was going on. It was nothing unusual to be true. When he was growing up, he had these heroic dreams all the time. But these were different. He was no longer fighting solo. By his side were Kendra, Nadine, and Tyra. Each of them there in support of him and assisting in their own unique ways. For some reason it really heartened him. He no longer had to fight alone. Then his dreams ended as he began to stir. He felt himself awaken slowly and knew something didn't feel quite right. For some strange reason, his legs felt cool when they shouldn't. He was wearing trousers. The weirdest thing of all was that his crotch felt wet for some reason! His eyes bolted wide open with that realization before he looked down to himself. His pants were gone! And in their place between his legs was Kendra! She wore that ever knowing smile on her face as licked his thighs up to his groin. The young warrior couldn't help but let his head drop back as she let her tongue glide smoothly over his balls before taking one into her mouth to suckle on it gently. "Kendra? What? Why?" he groaned. The succubus released his nuts from her mouth as her beautiful green eyes looked up to him. "You've shown a nasty little habit of seducing other females, my dear stud. It's time to remind you that I am your real lover and it is only I who can make you feel this damn good. Hush now and enjoy, lover!" He felt her slender fingers move to take possession of his balls as she moved up, tongue flicking over his quickly extending shaft. When her tongue reached that flared top of his cock, she elicited a loud groan from him as she drew her tongue over it long and hard in a twirling motion to the sensitive head. Hearing his groan, she smirked and made him groan again much louder with a few teasing nibbles to the tip while her free hand encased the girth of his shaft. A soft purr drew his attention away from Kendra to see that Nadine was awake, her sleep interrupted by him. The lycan lay close by on her side as she watched Kendra give him a morning blowjob with hungry eyes. Her own hands moved up to cup and glide over her big, round furry tit. Her arousal was evident as the bright red nipple poked up through the dark fur. He gasped as he felt the demoness's mouth encircle the head of his cock while her tongue lapped across it and probed the slit gently. "That's it Kendra. Suck that beautiful cock," the catwoman mewed softly. She brushed long locks of bright orange hair away from her eyes before using that same hand to raise her firm breast upwards. With those golden eyes still fixated on Kendra's mouth taking more of his cock in, Nadine leaned her head down to flick that pink tongue against her hard budding nipple. Blaze watched the lusty catwoman fondle her beautiful tits before looking back to Kendra just in time to see her suck his cock down into her hot mouth. The feeling her expert tongue playing against the undervein of his meaty rod felt so damn good. The sexy succubus started to moan now as she seemed to be enjoying the taste of him in her mouth. Those hungry eyes looked up to him as her free hand gripped him firmly. One corner of those pale lips curled upwards in a smirk before ducking head and driving his rod deeper into her mouth with her hand twisting about on his shaft. He groaned so loud now that he was sure even Tyra had heard him. Although, he wasn't the only one making noise as he heard heavy breathing close by. Taking a moment for a quick glance, he looked to where Nadine was. The lycan had drawn in her top leg as she lay on her side facing him. Foot planted on the ground and knee arching upwards to the sky, her nether region was spread open for all to see. And all could see her furry fingers furiously pumping into that aroused cunt. Her raptor gaze was still fixed on Kendra working her magic on his dick. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he struggled mightily to not cum with the pleasure from this incredible blowjob. "Oh fuck... Yes.. Fuck yes!" he cried out. Hearing him, the succubus pulled off of him and exposed his wet cock to the air. Her gaze intensely looked up to him as over the next few minutes she hungrily licked the head of his cock. Her tongue lapped at the precum on the tip of his rod before probing this slit hungrily for more. She even moaned pleadingly for more, loving the taste. Determined to get more, the succubus swirled her tongue over his sensitive cockhead quickly and roughly for several minutes, gathering as much as she could into her mouth to swallow. Without warning his lover plunged back down, swallowing as she did. His hard dick slid quickly into her mouth and deep down into her throat. The poor young warrior simply lay there in bliss as he felt her hot throat encase him. He was flying high on the clouds of ecstasy from what had to be the best oral sex to have ever been witnessed on this mortal world. Kendra made little moaning sounds of enjoyment while her mouth drew back and forth rapidly over him, sucking him noisily with loud wet slurps. Her hair swayed back and forth as she bobbed up and down on his cock, almost coming off of him before driving him back down into her throat. At times she would pull back to where only those pale lips wrapped about the head to suck hard on it as her hand wrung back and forth on his shaft. "Oh gods! Kendra, I'm going to cum soon," Blaze warned. "No fair! I want some breakfast too, Kendra!" Nadine moaned in protest before quickly crawling over to them. Kendra chuckled softly as she released him and gently tugged on his balls with her one hand. Blaze's wet rod wasn't left hanging for long before once again covered in warm bliss, but in Nadine's mouth this time. The catwoman purred softly as she frantically moved her head back and forth on his cock. Her catlike tongue rubbing wonderfully against the sensitive underside of his hunk of meat and nearly drove him over the edge. Blazing Glory Ch. 05 Blaze could only grind his teeth and hold on by a knife's edge as both women alternated sucking him off, passing the hard length back and forth between each other. Both women then shared and understanding look that made him wonder, like he had so many times, if they shared some mental ability of communication. At the same, both women assaulted the head of his cock with their tongues in rough, quick lapping strokes. He groaned as it was just too much for a man to withstand as he submitted in defeat! His long cock twitched against their tongues before thick creamy cum erupted upwards from his cock to the ladies delight. Kendra quickly took him into her mouth to take a few big creamy loads to fill her mouth before passing his cock to Nadine as she swallowed his jizz with a savoring look of bliss on her face. The catwoman purred pleasantly like a kitten just having been given a saucer full of milk as she took in the rest of his cock's loads until he was finished with a pleasant groan. Nadine smiled up to him and swallowed her mouthful with a loud gulp. "You have to finish what you started, Nadine!" Kendra laughed as she grabbed the startled dark furred feline and raised her up to standing. The succubus groped Nadine's furry tits roughly as her other hand expertly worked that aroused clit. Having been so close already with the hot excitement, it wasn't long before Nadine screamed as she shook with orgasm. Her juices poured out of her cunt to wet the ground over which she stood. Hating to see such sweet juices wasted, Blaze quickly sat up and moved to lick up that sweet feline cum from the source. Nadine's golden eyes opened wide as she felt his tongue in her cunt and sent her into another screaming climax. In the beaming morning light, all three of them held themselves there enjoying the moment. Kendra firmly held the catwoman from behind as she groped those dark furry tits roughly while Nadine ground her hips back and forth to press her exposed pussy against Blaze's tongue as her juices poured out of her. "Oh heavens that was great! I love you guys," moaned the happy lycan. Kendra turned Nadine's head to the side so she could kiss her friend hotly on her lips for a few seconds, "Mmmm, we love you too sweet kitten." Blaze smiled and kissed those wet cunt lips in agreement with the leather wearing dancer. Nadine smiled brightly and left them to gather her things up before they set out. Kendra knelt beside him as she looked deeply into his eyes. She raised a slender brow, "So.. Who is your real lover that you'll always come back to?" "You, of course," Blaze chuckled. "I really appreciated the 'reminder', but know that I'll have and always will come home to your arms, Kendra Tansanee." The demoness's green eyes blinked at that before that special smile she only gave to him revealed itself. Their arms wrapped about each other as they leaned forward and kissed each other deeply. From the edge of the small camp, Tyra watched them with a small smile as she leaned against a tree with her arms folded across her chest. She had seen all three of them enjoy each other emotionally as well as physically. She was glad she was now going to be able to become a part of this close fellowship. ******************** Kendra's incredible blowjob wasn't the only morning surprise that happened. As all four of them were beginning to make preparations for the continued pursuit, Blaze happened to notice something odd about Nadine. The furry catwoman's tail swayed about in the air as she bent over to rummage through her pack, giving him the perfect view of her spectacular ass. He stared for a few male hormones induced moments before he noticed Nadine was pulling something out of her pack rather than putting things in like the rest of them. "Nadine? Why are you unpacking?" he asked. The others stopped what they were doing and looked over to the lycan. Nadine blinked and looked over her shoulder to them. She turned around and pulled something out of the pack with her as she did. Nadine smiled as she held up the long white fabric in front of her, "Just getting my dress out." Kendra looked at the catwoman as if she'd suddenly sprouted angel wings on her back and red horns on her forehead. "A dress? Your dress?" The gorgeous feline nodded with a smile. Blaze himself was just as dumbfounded. This was Nadine they were talking about. The entire time they'd known her, she'd only worn the fur that was naturally on her. "But why a dress? You've never worn it the entire time we've known you," Blaze said with his mind reeling in confusion. Nadine scoffed at them and shook her head, "Well you all said we were heading into that big city today. You humans make such a big deal over clothing and 'decency' in public. We lycans always wander about without clothes because there really isn't any need. But I always carry this with me in case I am going into a village so as not to upset anyone." Tyra laughed softly, "You've got a point. Even I have some clothing at least, even if it is only a little. It wouldn't be right to drag you in without a stitch on you. But won't you get very hot with that over your fur?" "Oh, no. The fabric is very thin and light. It causes me no discomfort." The catwoman was already sliding the dress over her head and down her luscious body. It reached past her knees to the middle of her shins so as not to be too long and trip her feet up. The slits in the sides allowing for plenty of leg room to walk with. The dress had a low cut chest that revealed a dark furry valley of cleavage beautifully. Two thin straps held the dress up around her slender shoulders. Nadine wasn't jesting about the thickness of the fabric as her nipples, still excited and hard from her morning sexual experience, poked quite clearly out against the thin material. "Well kitten, it's a beautiful dress and looks damn good on you!" Kendra remarked with a smirk. The succubus had a point as Blaze had noticed the dress hugged Nadine's curves tightly. Kendra laughed, "You'll start a bigger riot of horny men with that sexy thing than if you had walked in naked. I'll have to borrow it sometime for one of my dances. It would hint at much but leave the audience still aching to see more!" The image of Kendra in that thin dress with her soft brown skin, curved ass, and full breasts straining against the fabric left Blaze walking with an aching erection the rest of the morning as they set out. The day before, Kendra had informed them that they were getting close to the capital city of the country of Shoushan. They had passed through the broad forested mountain pass between the Eskol Mountains in the north and the Tao Mountains to the south. The Tao Mountains served as a border line between eastern portions of Quinlan and the western territories of Shoushan as they ran from north to south before turning eastwards when they reached the coastline. He had never been away from home before until recently. He'd never been out of his own country before and now that had come to pass. He had felt a sense of excitement as well as a bit of fear at being in a land not of his own. Kendra seemed to be knowledgeable about the Shoushan and its people because of her succubus feedings having led her through here a number of times in the past. He remembered that conversation well about the Shoushan people. "So what is the name of this city and what is it like?" he had asked. Kendra glanced to him as they walked along the cart-beaten road before she grinned at his genuine curiosity. "The city is called Seiko and is the largest port city in Shoushan. It sits on the eastern coast looking out to the Matsu Ocean. The Nessan River splits the city in half before it empties out into the Matsu. It is an immense city with a large population. So keep on guard as such big cities also have a larger number of cutthroats and pickpockets. Obviously Danika means to lose us in the massive city, but the confusing thing is that she sticks out just as much as we will." The succubi's last statement confused him instantly, "But why would that be? I haven't heard much about Shoushan, but we've always been told it is a land largely inhabited by humans just like Quinlan." "Well you are correct, but only half-correct," she said with a shake of her head. "The Shoushan citizen is human, but a different type. I remember a few of them referring to themselves as 'oriental'. It's an ancient word that I don't believe is used much anymore. Their skin isn't as light as yours is but more like a very light bronze if you can say. And their eyes have a distinct aspect about them. More oval than round like yours and mine. Quite unique and beautiful in its own way truly." Blaze's mind reeled at this. He had always thought humans were, well, just human. Now he was being told that there were different kinds of his race? "I can see now why Danika has no hope of blending in." "She has no chance. You haven't seen a female Shoushan yet. They have a very odd look to them. I've seen it with a few of the males, but it's almost all of the females. They all have oddly colored hair that is natural and is arrayed in the oddest fashions. I remember a woman with long blue hair while another had bright green hair that spiked out all over the place." "But Danika had unnaturally red hair. It looked as if her hair was on fire." "Yes, but the one thing that sets her apart from the rest is her eyes! While the Shoushan male have an ordinary look to them, the females eyes are unlike any other. You know my eyes are green, right? Expand the green twice as far and that's how large the colored eye part of a Shoushan female is. It's something you can't miss. Their eyes are also colored oddly as their hair. A Shoushan dancer I worked with in the city had a pair of large, pink eyes!" The demoness then laughed at the complete look confusion at such revelations. How could such coloring in humans exist? It just didn't seem right. Maybe Kendra was pulling his leg in some kind of joke. When she saw him begin to obviously question the possibility of such, she simply gave him a wink. "You'll see what I mean when we get there." As the young warrior walked along and thought it through again this morning, the land in the forest began to steadily decline. It was rough going at first down the mountainside. The angle of the decent was so sharp that they all had to walk down slowly with their feet planted at an angle to maintain their balance. All this while, Blaze and Nadine kept the lead as they followed the obvious trail of signs left in Danika's passage. They were the better out of the group at such tracking practices. Meanwhile, Kendra and Tyra brought up the rear of the traveling group acting as their eyes and muscle. He pitied any creature that encountered the wrath of the deadly succubus and powerful gargoyle. For the better part of the morning, they all descended the slopes. When it seemed like they could take no more and their knees and feet burned with protest against any further exertion, they reached ground that slowly but surely leveled out. They all rested for a short moment at the foot of the mountain chain before once more moving out. Their bodies ached terribly in response, but their focus on getting back what was stolen and making Danika pay for her actions drove them on. Nadine let out a surprised meow when she and Blaze stumbled onto a well beaten road. By how wide it was, it looked to be one of the main thoroughfares in Shoushan. Tyra and Kendra were soon to follow them onto the path. Kendra spit on the ground in angry disgust, "The arrogance of the bitch! Apparently she thinks she's well off away from us that she can take an open road!" "Not only that, but this road is too well traveled. So many footprints and cart tracks it is impossible to track which is hers," Nadine mewed in frustration as she looked about the road. Kendra shook her head as she calmed down, "No worries. This road leads straight to Seiko. Apparently she's not completely confident she can lose us." With that said, all four began to walk on the path leading them to the southeast. Soon they had left the wilderness and entered into some kind of marshland. It was an odd sight though. The sides of the road dipped away sharply into the marshes filled with short reeds as far as the eye could see. He could just make out the standing water in which the reeds resided. But what was so strange was how the marshes seemed set out in organized squares with small footpaths bisecting them all. "Kendra, what is with these marshes?" The gorgeous woman looked back to him over her shoulder with those green eyes and a smirk, "Marshes? No. These are farm fields. This is where they grow rice." An odd country indeed. He shook his head as they continued on. With so many fields, they must grow enough rice to feed the whole world. The land sloped up and down gradually in the foothills of the mountains towards the coastline. By midafternoon, they ascended to the top of a large hill as he could smell the familiar scent of the sea on the wind. The sight that greeted him took his breath away. A city vaster than he could ever have imagined lay down below him. The slope they were on made its long steady decent towards the ocean. Though Seiko was still miles away, it filled most of his vision with its numerous buildings and palaces before it finally hugged the coastline with countless piers filled with all kinds of sea vessels. He had heard Adelar, Quinlan's capital, was the only city that could rival Shoushan's capital in size. He would have to visit Adelar someday and find out for himself if that was true, he thought as he walked down towards the city with the others. Blaze saw many guards standing watch along the fortified walls, but they met no challenge as they passed through one of the many gates leading into the city. All four companions were immediately hit with a multitude of overwhelmed senses. A thousand conversations in both familiar and unfamiliar language filled the air as their eyes were filled with people filling the streets. Blaze thought it had to be magic to be able to put so many people in one place. They made their way deeper into the city, their eyes open and searching for any black-armored red haired woman. But there was just too many people going about their business. Blaze was in a continual state of astonishment with the new sights and smells. Men pulled carts like horses on foot that carried people. Others wore odd straw hats that looked like a bowl, except upside down. Women in fine silks with their faces painted white and lips a bright red waved at him with fancy fans behind wooden bars of some building. Kendra slapped him upside the head when she caught him staring. Through the spinning stars, he heard her tell him those where whores for sale. And Kendra had not lied. A woman with long purple hair smiled to him as she passed. Another woman having spiky black hair with green streaks stepped out of a bar before looking to him with enormous fuchsia eyes. For the next hour, they moved from street to street in a fruitless search. Perhaps Danika really could lose them in the oppressive city filled to the brim with Shoushan citizens. They had no problem making it through the city as many gave them a wide berth in the streets. Many stared in awe of Nadine's unique feline beauty while others scurried back in fear of Tyra's powerful stature. They regarded him a little less curiously as they recognized him being from Quinlan. When Blaze glanced back, he saw the succubus standing in the middle of the road with her hand on hip and smirking sensually. Men all around stared hungrily at her voluptuous leather clad body, obviously not caring that she had her wings displayed for all to see and know what she was. Kendra saw him looking at her. The demoness gave him a sly smile and wink before she walked in a sensually suggestive manner up to him. She hooked her arm through his and leaned against him affectionately, sending out a clear signal that this succubus was taken. He heard the angry and jealous grumbles sent his way from a few men as they walked on. Not too long after they continued on, Nadine halted suddenly and sniffed the air. Tyra stopped right next to her and glanced down to the shorter female. "Is it her?" The catwoman's eyes grew very wide with realization. "No... It... It's... something better!" she exclaimed happily. Before any of them could ask, the furry feline disappeared in a blurred dash to their right. Startled by her sudden movement, Blaze and the others quickly ran after her. It wasn't very long before Blaze skidded to a halt in front of a building. Standing at an open counter was the lycan female. She was already eating something from the street side food place with her bushy tail waving behind her back and forth happily. Kendra looked up to the sign above the food shop with weird symbols written across it before the demoness just cracked up in laughter. Not understanding what was so funny, Blaze stepped up next to Nadine. Eating? More like breathing it all in for lack of better terms was what she was doing! He glanced to the thin Shoushan man who wore a happy face. "I'll have what she's having," he said. The chef nodded with pleased nod and was soon at quick work behind the solid counter. Blaze couldn't see what the man was doing, but heard the expert workmanship of a knife at work. Before he could glance back to the others, the man set a plate up on the counter before him. On it was pieces of a pale, pink like substance on top of some rice. He lifted up one piece with his fingers and looked at it curiously. "Blaze! No!" Kendra suddenly said at his side right as he put it in his mouth and began chewing. The substance had an odd soft texture to it and tasted oddly familiar somehow. He looked to Kendra by his side. She put her hand over her mouth is shock as she saw him eating it and then swallow it. Kendra closed her eyes for a moment before looking to him, "Men and their stomachs! By the Abyss, you didn't even know what that was and you ate it. That was sushi!" "What is 'sushi'? I've never heard of that before," he asked, not understanding what the trouble was all about. "Raw fish!" Nadine chirped in happily beside him, having finished her plate and paid the chef. Blaze froze and blanched suddenly. His stomach did a somersault before taking a deep swan dive down into the pit of his guts. Oh shit! "Fish?...... Raw fish?....." he asked slowly as his mouth went dry. The chef nodded with a grin and held up the corpse of a dead fish by the tail. The fish had portions of it missing from where the chef had just cut out of it. Even Tyra turned a bit green at the sight. "Oh dear heavens," he exclaimed as his stomach lurched! He needed something to get the taste out of his mouth now. By his plate was a cup at held a greenish paste. He grabbed the whole chunk and quickly tossed it into his mouth. "BLAZE! NO!" Kendra yelled. Her beautiful green eyes grew wide as she looked at him with growing horror. She turned quickly to the chef. "Water! Now! He just ate all of the wasabi at once!" The chef's smile vanished to a look of complete shock. Blaze didn't know what the big deal was as he finished swallowing. It didn't taste that bad. BOOOOM!!! The young warrior's vision exploded into flames as the searing hotness exploded from his mouth throughout his skull before burning all the way through his body. His tongue felt like it was a piece of meat in a pot of boiling water. He reeled with the hot pain, knowing if he stuck his tongue out that he would see flames all about it. He nodded rapidly for water as he was already sweating like he'd run twenty leagues. The chef looked to Kendra with a concerned look and shook his head, "I have no water right now. My niece went to fetch some more from the well but hasn't come back yet. All I have is sake right now." Blazing Glory Ch. 05 "Yes! Sake will do. Any liquid will do!" Kendra said hurriedly. Nadine watched curiously what was going on, not having touched the green stuff herself as it hadn't smelled friendly. Tyra simply shook with silent laughter. Poor Blaze nodded rapidly in agreement with Kendra. The chef quickly set a medium sized jug on the counter and took the cork out of the top. He then poured the clear liquid into a small cup beside it that wouldn't hold much. Frantic for something to drink now, he grabbed the whole jug and lifted it to his mouth. "BLAZE! NO! NO!" Kendra screamed as he up-ended the jug over his head and chugged down the liquid like a man drinking water after a long walk through an arid desert. Kendra slapped her forehead with her hand and muttered a frustrated curse. The burning gradually eased and was soon replaced by a pleasant feeling. His head felt light and dazed. And for some reason, he felt so.... happy! Tyra leaned up against the building as she laughed herself to tears at the sight of Blaze getting drunk. Nadine wrinkled her nose cutely before looking back to chef with a sparkle in those golden eyes. "Seconds please!" she giggled. ******************** The sun had set on the city of Seiko not long ago. Most of its residents were now heading back to their homes or temporary lodging for their evening meal before heading for bed. Late at night there were very few citizens on the streets. The large city was not without crime. It had its share of organized gangs that referred to themselves as 'yakuza' that waged their never-ending war for control in the city. Outside of that large threat was the few night time thieves and muggers, lying in wait for their next victims. But there was one group that these cowards of society chose to not prey upon as it walked through the streets. Truly, who would want to rob a man with two swords, a muscled gargoyle, claw-abled catwoman, and a deadly succubus? Kendra thought their little fellowship did present an odd, yet intimidating sight. She helped Blaze along with his arm over her shoulders. He was doing much better than he was earlier. She had grabbed the sake from him in time to where he only got himself slightly drunk. "You know what, Kendra? You're one hot babe... But this sake.. It makes you look even better! Sake make you sexy!" he had hiccuped. She rolled her eyes as she remembered that moment. He'd leapt in head first before she could warn him each time. What is it with men never listening to women? The thought made her shake her head. Fortunately, he was just about done working it out of his system. They hadn't been able to search much more for Danika after the sushi bar. She doubted they could find her on the first day among the masses of Shoushan wandering about. It looked like tomorrow they would have to start asking about. Nadine had been too busy getting her fill of fish while she and an amused Tyra dealt with their lover. Nadine still purred happily behind her as they walked. Walking down the dimly lit streets of the city seemed like walking back in time into the memories locked away deep inside her. She remembered this street well. She had picked up much prey here to satiate her sexual hunger at the forfeit of their own lives. That had been decades ago though. Thirty-five if she remembered correctly. This had been one of her first hunting grounds when she had come into the world and she frequented back here when supply grew short in others parts. She remembered the all-girl show she had performed in here in Seiko. The Shoushan were not into nude dancing like the other human cultures were. Granted that they did like to see such, but they preferred much more seedy performances. Groups such as the one she had been in frequently traveled about the country to perform their shows and make large profits from the men and even some women. The group she had been in had established permanent residence in this city with its steady attendance of citizens. The 'performance' show was actually a live sex showing. The ladies, herself included, would act out roles like in a play before they had hot lesbian sex on the stage right in front of the audience. The voyeurism had been a really big turn on to her, but it still wasn't what she needed to help her. Oh she had had plenty of female lovers over time here in Seiko, but lesbian sex only provided physical pleasure for a succubus. She needed a man's cock. A woman's touch was something special indeed and even makeshift toys helped heighten the experience. It took another woman to really know how to make a woman feel good. But no tongue or toy could replace a man's hard, throbbing cock! A woman who thought otherwise was really missing out on a good thing. Kendra only wished men would be more interested in giving the woman pleasure as well rather than be only interested in getting themselves off in a quick, pathetic ten second fuck. Her Richard was the type of man women were wishing for. The fact that Nadine and Tyra tagged along behind her confirmed that fact. She looked beside her to the young man and smiled softly to him. His hazel eyes turned to look at her before he smiled in return. They both shared the intimate gaze for a few moments before both of them were suddenly shoved forward. Kendra gasped in shock as she and Blaze were sent sprawling forward onto the hard dirt of the well-traveled street. A startled yelp from Nadine came shortly after a pained gasp from Tyra. Both she and Blaze rolled over quickly to see the guardian standing right where he had been moments before. Protruding from the gargoyle's left arm was a small dart with its needle imbedded into her skin. Tyra opened her mouth to say something but couldn't seem to get anything out. She stumbled forward a step before collapsing onto the ground with frightening impact. All three of them quickly rushed in to her and knelt by her side. Blaze grunted with his muscles bulging to roll the larger gargoyle over onto her back. Tyra groaned painfully as Nadine quickly plucked the dart out of the winged guardian's skin. Tyra lay there shivering with a cold sweat having broken out on her face and her eyes closed tightly as if she were in pure torment. Kendra placed her hand on the gargoyle's forehead and quickly drew it back. "She's burning up! So quickly from a small dart?" she said looking to the others. Nadine sniffed the dart carefully. The catwoman's nose wrinkled instantly as she tossed the thing away quickly as if having discovered it was an adder ready to strike at her. She shivered as her fur stood on end, "It reeked of poison!" Kendra glanced up at the same time Blaze did. They both shared a look of understanding. Had there been any other sound in the street, they would have missed it. But the dead quiet gave away the soft whisper of approach. Nadine's own cat ears now twitched in hearing it as well. All three stood and wheeled around to greet a sight that caught all of them off guard. Figures clothed in black closed in on them from all sides swiftly and silently as death. Kendra recognized them at once and it chilled her at the danger they were in. What had they done to incur the death sentence of ninja? Who had put out a contract for their removal from the living world? She didn't have time to ponder as they were upon her before she could even draw her whip. Two assaulted her at the same time with hand-to-hand combat. She doubted it was quite the fair fight as they likely had light metal gauntlets beneath those gloves. She supposed it wasn't fair to begin with having two ninjas against one demon. That wicked fanged smile appeared on her face. Not fair for THEM! The succubus easily sidestepped the powerful punches by the one to her right before spinning around the other that attacked her from behind. Smooth as a deadly viper, her leg swung out to sweep the man's leg from beneath him. She watched it all as if it were slow motion. The ninja was now in mid-air beginning his slow decent with gravity. But she was much quicker. Her left hand caught his head while her right grabbed hold of his legs before forcing him down. The descending man's back soon met her knee that was rising up to greet him. The impact was harsh as she pushed him right down through it still. The air was filled with a sickening crack of the man's back as she literally bent the ninja in half. Blood sprayed out of his mouth as he gave a short high pitched scream before dying. She tossed the corpse aside in disgust. Kendra stole a glance to see Nadine just flip into the air above the ninja attacking her with her furry hands seizing the ninja's head. As she spun in the flip, so did the head in her grasp until it's supporting neck snapped loudly. The catwoman was always on the offensive though. As soon a she landed, the lycan pounced the ninja charging her. She clung to the startled attacker as she ripped away the cloth at to expose his neck. Nadine hissed and sank her sharp fangs in his jugular. The scream that tried to escape his throat was garbled as he fell to the ground, twitching helplessly as Nadine choked the very life out of him. The demon dancer's hand snapped out to snatch the throat of the second ninja about to attack her from the side. Her eyes narrowed as she easily lifted the struggling man from the ground with one arm. Something wasn't right about this. Why did only a few ninja attack her and Nadine when she had seen so many? None attacked Tyra's prone form on the ground. Her eyes opened wide with realization just as she heard the harsh clash of metal. She turned to see her lover fighting desperately further down the street and completely surrounded by dark clothed assassins. They had wanted Richard all along. Had Tyra not sacrificed herself for him, they might very well have succeeded. But as desperate as the situation looked, he was holding his own. With the ninja helpless in the air by her grasp, Kendra was able to see her lover's ability in fighting for the first time. And what she saw was a dance of death. Blaze wielded his twin blades like they were extensions of his arms. He sliced completely through one ninja's leg before his other blade sliced the man's skull in half with brutal force. He spun around to skewer another before ripping the blade up savagely, ripping the ninja's torso open with a bloody spray. All of the ninjas could have swarmed him, but they held back because of the ferocity of his fight. The one time they ganged up on him from three directions, he spun about with his arms extended and neck-height. Three heads were soon sent sailing into the air. But she knew he couldn't keep up such a pace for long. She could already seem him beginning to tire and the ninja seemed to sense it as well as they renewed their attacks. "Nadine! Blaze needs help!" The catwoman perked up from the dead body and nodded before quickly sprinting down the street to help him. The fact that someone was out to kill him made the demoness shiver in a cold rage. She had lost a special lover once before. Never again! She drew the ninja in her tightening grasp down to meet her cold gaze. The man understandably began to struggle more. The look he saw in her eyes terrified him so much that he soiled himself instantly. "Tell whoever hired you to assassinate my lover this, through the gateway of the netherworld," she whispered dangerously, "Tell them, that when I find them.... They will be joining you soon in hell!" He shook his head in pure terror as her demon spawned strength gripped his throat with crushing force. Her other hand seized his shoulder before she ripped head and spine out of his body with such force that the building behind him was sprayed instantly with his blood. She hurled the body away with one hand and dropped the head with attached spine where she stood. Blaze was now much farther down the corpse littered street. There were only a few ninja left and Nadine was close to reaching him. Stepping over dead bodies, Kendra quickly moved over to Tyra. Her newfound friend lay on the ground groaning in painful torment. It still felt odd that she thought of someone as a friend. She'd never had any until recently. But the concern she felt for the gargoyle assured her that the feeling of friendship was genuine. She kneeled down and grimaced as she used her strength to lift the bigger female in her arms. It was still a heavy burden for her as she quickly carried her friend down the street towards Blaze. "By the Abyss, Tyra! I told you that you should have laid off the sweets at that shop today!" Blaze had finally dispatched one of the few ninja remaining with a swift down stroke of his sword to cleave the man in two from his neck through his left shoulder. He felt winded and completely exhausted. His head still ached from the slight hangover he had been trying to quell. His arms and shoulder hurt terribly from the force needed to cut through so many bones and the jarring impact before they sliced through. He didn't have much strength left as he looked to the last ninja. The dark assassin regarded him calmly from a short distance away. "I may have missed you with my dart because of your luck, but you will die tonight by my hands I assure you," the ninja said with a clear feminine voice as she took up her fighting stance. She relaxed her fists to extend her fingers outwards. The flicker of light off metal revealed to him a hidden threat. He'd never seen them before, but he knew what they were because of his master. His wise teacher had told him how some cunning warriors and assassins used this weapon in close combat. Neko-te. Strong iron fingernails fastened into leather bands that were fitted on the fingers, resembling claws with the long sharpened extensions. His teacher had warned him of neko-te users. It was not a favored weapon by many because of its extremely short range. Those that did use it were usually unmatched when it came to speed and unbeatable in close range combat. He lowered his blades towards her to act as a buffer area so she could not move in close so quickly. Blaze trembled as anger slowly built up inside him, renewing his strength. This ninja had been after him, but in doing so had hurt Tyra. Now she was suffering greatly because of the poison this killer had used. His arms trembled with burning fury. He then heard a hiss from behind him and saw the dark-furred catwoman whip past him. Nadine halted in front him in a low crouch as she glared angrily at the female ninja. "You want a claw fight?" she hissed threateningly. She flexed her hands and sharp cat claws sprung from the tips of her fingers. "Then bring it!" The female assassin's confidence seemed to waver at what she saw. All of her fellow ninja were dead. Two fearsome fighters now faced her. Add to that she could see the succubus walking steadily closer to them. The look she saw in those green eyes made her tremble slightly, even from such a distance. "Another day then, Blaze! When you least expect it! You will not see me coming!" the female ninja shouted angrily before turning and running into the nearest alleyway. Blaze swore as Kendra finally reached them. "Kendra. Nadine. Watch over Tyra until I get back." "Where are you going?" Nadine asked as she helped Kendra lay Tyra down. "I'm going after that assassin. I will find her and beat the antidote out of her. Whatever it takes," he growled angrily, "I'll get it!" "Be careful," Kendra said. Though the look she gave him now spokes volumes in confidence and respect in her lover that hadn't fully been there before. He nodded and kissed her briefly before he ran after the ninja with renewed vigor through his anger and desperation for the antidote. ******************** Sniffing with the indignation and humiliation of the experience, Aurora walked through the dark entrance of the volcano. She was not far from the castle in which Koas resided. The slender foxwoman shivered as she remembered her encounter with the angry goddess. She could still feel the invisible force choking her roughly as it lifted her up in the air. The terror of those burning eyes made her sob suddenly from the memory before she quickly shut it away from her thoughts. Koas had been merciful to her in the end. She received no punishment other than being dropped out of the air onto her ass. From where she sat on the floor, the once always so arrogant foxwoman cowered before her mistress as she received her orders to go act as an ambassador to some race and increase the growing forces. It had been made clear that she was not to fail in this task. Or else.... Aurora hugged her shoulders suddenly as she shivered coldly, even though it was very hot in this burning mountain. She groaned in disgust with the creatures she now had to deal with. Hell hounds. Nothing better than worthless beasts with such primitive thoughts and ideals. Most were not even intelligent with only being as smart as your average dog! Why Koas wanted such hateful demons in her army, the sorceress had no idea. But she was determined to not fail in this. Panting slightly from the extraordinary heat, the foxwoman exited the tunnel to enter a large lair. The surrounding cavern was brightly lit a red-orange by the rivers of lava that flowed by steadily. Aurora carefully stepped her way over such a river on a narrow rock before reaching the open expanse of solid rock. Throughout this lair were hundreds of the savage beasts. The hell hound was the size of a large hunting hound men often used with a similar appearance akin to that of Doberman pinchers. But that is where the similarities ended. Her grey eyes saw their scarlet red and orange bodies scattered all about. They gnawed on bones of slaves Koas frequently offered to them while others fought each other for no particular reason. Her body was sweating profusely now with the burning heat as well as for another good reason. Those yellow eyes of the hounds made her nervous about their intent. But no beast challenged her as she walked among them towards another tunnel. Stepping into the tunnel, she walked along and found it to not be a very long one. The foxwoman stepped out into a small cave and saw the source of her mission. What she saw made her shiver with disgust. The leader of this pack sat upon his throne waiting patiently for her. Calhoun led the pack closest to where Koas resided and the only one who showed open loyalty to the goddess. On either side of him were two massive hell hounds. These guards of his were easily the biggest of the pack. Like Calhoun, they looked very much the part of a lycan. Fur covered bodies were red with canine features dominating their faces. Their bodies were human like one would expect of a lycan and heavily muscled. If just one of them had been a foxman, she would have been drooling in lust. But they were not lycan at all. Calhoun and the rest of his pack were disgusting demons. Stepping up before him the foxwoman gave a curt not of greeting, which is all he would get from her. "So I see Koas sent me her personal bitch," he growled. He laughed as he saw her stiffen visibly with that statement. "So what is it the goddess wants with me now?" "Koas wishes to have your pack's strength added to her own forces for the battle to come," Aurora said angrily through gritting teeth. Calhoun gave another deep bark for a laugh and waved his hand as if saying no request need be asked from the goddess. "Koas has been good to me and my fellow hounds for a long time. She has it. But you are another matter, foxwoman." The slender sorceress blinked in amazement that it had been that easy. But she wondered what he wanted now. "I know about you foxwomen," he said with a sneer. "Always thinking you're the better of everything. Well I've always wanted to teach one of you a lesson. You will do as I say or no deal with Koas." Blazing Glory Ch. 05 She gasped and tightly reigned in her fury as quick as she could. The foxwoman nodded that she would comply. The fear of displeasing Koas solidly on her mind. Calhoun snapped his fingers and both guard hounds rose. Swallowing, her grey eyes looked at them before back to Calhoun. He simply gave her a cruel smile as the guards bowled her over. The agent of Koas gave a startled cry as the savage demons proceeded to tear her gypsy dress to shreds. Within seconds, the foxwoman's slender body was revealed and covered completely in glistening sweat. Amazingly there wasn't a scratch on her from the whole ordeal. Brushing her silvery hair aside, her fox ears twitched nervously as she looked up to Calhoun. She shook visibly from the attack as she rose to her hands and knees. "Now fuck my guards," he ordered with a growl. "Know what it is like to be screwed by such 'inferior' creatures and know that you will hate the fact that you love it!" Aurora gawked at him in complete disbelief. This couldn't be happening. But when she felt the broad tongue lapping at the lips of her cunt, she realized with horror that it was. And she had to go through with this willingly or else face the torturous wrath of her goddess. With great will to force herself, she lifted her foxtail high to grant the hound better access to her cunt. The foxwoman whimpered audibly as the hound continued to lap at her pussy lips eagerly. The first signs of her body's betrayal formed in the small spark of arousal deep within her cunt. Powerful hands were planted firmly on her shoulders and when she looked up, all she saw was the red stomach of the second guard hound. The red tip of its cockhead already poked out of its sheath right towards her face. With a groan of frustration, the foxwoman reluctantly leaned forward to lick the cock head. The demon hell hound growled approvingly above her as more and more cock slid out of the sheath. The sorceress moaned now as her cunt was really wet with her juices now and the other hound was licking it all up. The cock tasted foul to her, but she knew she had to continue on. The lips of the foxwoman opened wide to take in that thick cock. Wet slurps were soon heard as the nude lycan bobbed her head up and down willing on that demonic cock. Her tongue caressed all about the flared head as her cheeks hallowed with the suction. Her grey eyes had been closed to try and imagine this being one of her human's dicks, but they opened wide when she felt something poking her pussy repeatedly. The guard's thick cock rammed into her pussy with such vengeance that the foxwoman's muffled scream about the rod in her mouth could be heard from where Calhoun sat watching. It continued to get worse and worse for the poor lycan sorceress. She felt something big nudge her lips. These disgusting demons resembled their animal counterparts in another horrible physicality. The realization sank it fast, but not quick enough as the knot of the demon hound's dick forced its way into her mouth. Her jaw strained as it opened wide to allow access to the thick knot before it popped in finally. The sorceress whimpered about the thick member now behind her teeth. Her nose flared wide to take breaths in as that thick demon cock had slid down her convulsing throat forcibly. The burning heat of shame grew more intensely as she felt pleasure coursing through her. Even with the painful stretching of the knot pushing into her battered demon cock filled cunt, she felt the burning pleasure and ache for more. Both demons were now locked in her and began to rapidly hump their hips as they laughed at her in their demonic tongue and growled with pleasure at this new bitch servicing them. Aurora could only moan as she was rocked back and forth between the two guards as the sweat poured off her body. Their great bodies giving them such power that she was helpless with her small slender body. She looked like a piece of beautiful pale meat skewered on both ends by two hard throbbing rods. For minutes that seemed like hours, they fucked her twat and mouth relentlessly with heavy panting. Soon she felt their bodies tense soundlessly. The pure disgust and shame made her body tremble as she came hard. Demonic cum erupted from both cocks as her body shook with the humiliating orgasm. Her throat gulped frantically to try and keep up as she felt her hot wet cunt filled to the brim. Her lithe body continued to shiver with her climax as she screamed nonstop about that invading hunk of cock. Aurora was forced to suffer this humiliation further as their cocks had to slowly soften and shrink before the knots locking them into her beautiful naked body let them slid out wetly. Both hounds left her lying there exhaustedly as the disgust filled her every thought. She couldn't believe she had fucked two hell hound demons willingly like some cheap whore! So lost in these thoughts was she that she didn't notice until too late. Calhoun had seized the smaller and lighter foxwoman and positioned her right over his mammoth erection. Aurora looked down too late to protest but just in time to see that rod that was as thick as her wrist push into her wet quim. The foxwoman howled as her tight twat was stretched to new levels. Calhoun sneered down to the smaller woman as he literally impaled her on that huge weapon. Aurora couldn't stop screaming as she was pushed further down upon that violating demon cock. But the pack leader gave the sorceress something to really scream about when he pressed that massive knot against her pussy lips. Aurora's shrieks echoed through the caverns and tunnels as that battering ram of a knot pushed forcibly into her. With her twat spread to unimagined limits and firmly locked together with the pack leader, Aurora simply gazed upwards with a far off look. Her mind didn't seem to comprehend what was happening. It didn't seem to feel that harsh banging strokes of the hell hound demon fucking or understanding her body thrashing about in a never-ending orgasm. The only thing she did know is that she didn't want it to stop. To never cease. Without shame or disgust, the sorceress was lost to the throes of lust as she screamed at him for more! Sweat beaded all over her body. Rivulets trickled down her pert breasts and erect silvery nipples before being flung off with the powerful up stroke of him hammering into her as Calhoun came with a howl. She screamed with him in her own titanic climax as she felt her cunt filled to overflowing with his seed before it leaked down her thighs. But it was far from over for Aurora. There was a whole pack of hell hounds just outside waiting for their turn now. The foxwoman's blissful orgasmic screams filled the mountain all that day and into the night as she serviced the whole pack of demon hell hounds like an eager whore. Long after she was done and had left, she would remember that it was all Nadine Teigra's fault for such a horrible event to have happened in her life. She swore she would have her revenge on that filthy furball! ******************** Earlier that very night, a dark figure moved among the rocks at the base of the cliffs that jutted straight up from the beach. Along the sandy beach, it walked with deliberate purpose and confidence in its lone stride. Without the city lights of Seiko illuminating the figure from the back, it would have been impossible to see let alone make out the distinct attractive feminine shape. The figure paused and looked up to the moonless night sky. The lights of Seiko were not bright enough to outshine the brilliance of countless stars above her before her gaze dropped to the ocean. Its waves gently lapped at the shoreline in such a soothing rhythm. Standing there, one could see that the woman stood there naked. The short woman stood only five feet high with two inches atop that. Her breasts were visible from the side against the backlight. They were not large like the heroines so far in this tale. But there were perfectly proportioned to her small stature. Blaze, being the expert in such areas, would be the first to tell you her breasts were a solid c-cup in size. Even in the dim illumination, you would expect to be able to make out the details of her body. But no one could on this dark night. For the woman's skin was as dark as a moonless evening at midnight. Soft skin as pure black as onyx. Such skin was unusual for Shoushan. But this woman was no Shoushan. Her long waist length hair contrasted her skin in a brilliant soft white very much like that of the glittering stars above her. If there was any doubt left, any observer would see the steady gaze of those eyes glowing red. Shaking her head, the dark elf, known to the world as a drow, walked directly towards the cliff face before sliding into the well-hidden entrance of a cave. Inside, a drow male waited expectantly and jumped to his feet as soon as the naked drowess stepped inside. Her eyes regarded him with disdain at first before she shook her head again. The male drow kept his gaze lowered to the ground as he offered her clothing. "Vendui'. I trust your hunt was a successful one this evening, Mistress Nitara?" he asked timidly. Rae Nitara took her clothes from him as she simply smiled coldly to him in answer. She hadn't been fully naked. A thin cord circled her slender waist with a small dagger in its sheath. It had been another successful kill for Death's Mistress this night. That was her notorious nickname the world had come to know her as and fear. None knew that she was a drow from the Underworld. Only the fact that she was a woman was known. Assassin guilds all over the world knew they could count on Death's Mistress. No matter how elusive or protected the target was, the contract was always fulfilled when Rae was on the task. Only a few guild masters knew her for what she really was, but did not divulge such secrets unless they wished her wrath to visit them silently in the night. They contacted her through rare magical items and left payments upon the doorsteps into the world beneath them as agreed. But she could care less for such gold. She was one of the best assassins the world had ever seen and she wished to not leave her expertise. Not even now that she was the Matron Mother of her house. Rae hated how her duties tried to interfere with the joyous feeling of the hunt and the merciless kill. She thought about this now as she started to put her clothing back on. She pulled up the tight dark pants that hugged her curves like a second layer of skin before pulling the white blouse on. She laced the front up, but left the top few undone to reveal the dark valley of cleavage for any to see. Rae tucked the shirt into her pants before pulling metal gauntlets over the lengthy blouse sleeves. The drowess dearly loved those dark metal gauntlets so beautifully decorated with the images of deadly spiders. Lastly, she grabbed her cloak that drow called a 'piwafwi' and wrapped it about her. Looking to the male, she smirked as she eyed his form. A worthless male like all the rest, but she didn't mind his company too much. Raviv was her Patron and all of her house knew that the Matron Mother could favor her current lover as she saw fit. Raviv was one of the best lovers she'd ever had. The others had been disappointing in performance. They'd been sacrificed or, if they were lucky enough, traded as slaves. "Vendui' Raviv. It was an easy assignment this night. Not much of a challenge to kill these Shoushan. But the kill did excite me," she hummed softly as she eyed his toned warrior body. She then started walking into the pitch black cave with him walking beside her. "We will head back now so you can service your mistress. I need a good fucking and you'd better rise to the challenge." Raviv nodded obediently and couldn't hide the obvious bulge that had arisen in his leggings. The dark assassin smirked to herself in amusement. Clearly he was eager to get to the task that he enjoyed doing so well. Rae was without a doubt one of the most beautiful dark elves in the underworld. Even females had begged for the chance to roll around the bed sheets with Death's Mistress. Her tightly toned assassin body was a sight to behold. Her little hobby, as some saw it, was the very reason she kept her body in shape and very desirable. Many that knew quickly disapproved of it. She could care less what they said or thought. They were old and out of shape because they would rather deal with the intrigue and backstabbing among the drow houses. That was fundamental in a drow's life. Knock off the house higher ranking than you so your own can move up in rank and become closer with the goddess Lloth. Rae had always been somewhat of a renegade when it came to drow customs. She loved the thrill of open battle and the feeling of the kill. Her mother, who was even far crueler than she, approved because Lloth encouraged such bloodletting. Who was she to deny her goddess such pleasantry? She kept Raviv as Patron much longer than others would. They called him useless because he hadn't sired a child with her yet, but she refused. Death's Mistress had spent more time on the surface than any drow of her generation. On and on, they continuously disapproved. The surface world was to be shunned and all those on it cursed. Utter foolishness, she thought with disgust. Her mother was the only one who understood her. Rae broke with drow tradition in that regards to. Unlike other daughters, she didn't want to murder her mother to achieve personal gain. She blinked as she then realized how far in the cavernous deep they had come already. There she went again in getting lost in thought! Time in length had to have passed then as they grew closer to her home in the drow city. Her dark pointed ear twitched slightly as she heard a quick approach of footsteps on the hard rock surface. Rae glanced about quickly, the cavernous walls and stalactites standing out red with her natural infravision. It was then she heard the gasp of surprise behind her before it was choked with a wet garble. A shiver ran up her spine as she whipped around to the sound. Had one of the houses chosen this moment to remove her while she was away from the city and her house guards? The sight that greeted her red eyes shocked her. Raviv had fallen to his knees as blood frothed upon his dark lips. He clutched at his throat that had been quite visibly torn out savagely. She didn't understand why, but seeing Raviv dying before her pained her heart. She hadn't a moment to try and help him before a powerful blow sent her crashing into the nearby stone wall. Her head struck and bounced off the stone wall with such force that it nauseated her instantly. With a groan, the stunned drowess slumped before falling to the floor. She leaned her back up against the wall as she tried to regain her senses properly. How could she, Death's Mistress, let herself be caught off guard so easily? A dark clothed figure stepped up in front of her with an arrogant confidence. Her anger rose as she realized the attacker thought of her no longer a serious threat. "I hadn't planned to run into anyone in my retreat, but it's always so fun killing you worthless drow," that feminine voice spoke to her. Worthless? How dare she! She was drow and the deadliest assassin in the known world! Fury boiled up in her as she further realized that this was no drow that had attacked her. It was a damned ninja! A filthy disgusting human? Rae cursed herself as the revelation added more salt onto her wounded pride. "How? How can you see in the darkness?" The woman glanced over to Raviv's dead body, clearly seeing where he lay, "A gift from the one I serve. You drow are so pathetic it is amazing you know. We ninja will always be the superior assassins." "Before you kill me, I want to know the name and face of my murderer," Rae gasped as she tried to buy more time. "I suppose I could since it won't really matter," the female ninja laughed mockingly. Rae's fist tightened angrily as she slowly regained herself as she watched. The ninja pulled her hood off her head to reveal that she was a Shoushan woman. She was oddly colored like all her kind was with short blue hair and bright orange colored eyes. "My name Nariko Miakoda of the Miakoda ninja clan. I am also the personal assassin of the true goddess of evil, Koas." Koas? That bitch? She almost laughed at the idea of Koas being the most evil god of all. "Nariko lueth Koas, olot dos!" Death's Mistress cursed the ninja and spat in her face defiantly. Rae then noticed the bloody hands of the ninja woman as she wiped the spit from her face with the back of one. She was wearing what looked to be metal claws on her fingers. The ninja crouched before the drowess and seized her slender dark throat. Rae could feel the sharp ends press firmly against the flesh. She closed her eyes as she readied herself, maintaining her pride of having served Lloth well in this life. When Rae opened those glowing red eyes, she witnessed a sight she would never forget for the rest of her days and would cherish the memory always. Nariko was focused solely on her and never saw it coming, but Rae did a split second before. From her left, a foot came screaming out of the darkness. As if she were watching it all in slow motion, she watched the look of surprise flashing in those once cocky orange eyes as Nariko's face caved inwards. Then everything rapidly sped back up as the ferocious kick sent the ninja woman spiraling away from her to crash brutally into the stone wall. Death's Mistress looked back to the newcomer and was surprised to see another human there. Only this one was of the lesser sex, a man. He trembled with such unbridled fury that she immediately felt pity for the one whose drew his ire. But the young human glanced about searchingly for the one he sought. In this darkness, with no drow sight or magical gift, he could not see a thing. Then how had he managed to land that blow? "Give me the antidote," he called out angrily in the darkness, "NOW!" Rae glanced over to where Nariko had landed and saw the ninja woman staggering to her feet. The woman clutched the right side of her face in pain from the tremendous hit as she looked to him in shock. Rae silently stood now herself and faced the other assassin. When Nariko looked her way and saw the look in the drowess's eyes, the woman knew she was outnumbered and bolted into another tunnel quickly. Death's Mistress turned to regard the human silently. She pondered the thought of killing him for daring to trespass into the world of the drow beneath the surface. It would be an easy kill with his back turned to her. She watched as he felt about the walls in search of the ninja he hit. In silent stealth, she moved up behind him... ******************** Blaze's legs ached in protest as he ran after the ninja. They had already been walking for so long the entire day. He reminded himself that they should invest in some horses. In and out of darkened streets he dashed past as he pursed the ninja woman. The dark figure in front of him was light on her feet and incredibly fast. It required him to run as fast as he could just to keep up with her. When she looked back and saw him still closely pursuing, her speed even further increased. The young warrior gasped for breath as he nearly gave up at the sight of her pulling away from him. But the image of Tyra laying on the ground in agony was there every time he closed his eyes. He had to get that antidote information from the source. Desperation and anger rose within him to give him his second wind. It sustained him as he began to catch up to the ninja once again. He rounded a corner just in time to see the ninja leap down a hole in the middle of a street. He skidded to a halt as he wondered why the hell someone would put a hole in the middle of a street. The heavy metal lid that had covered it had been removed and swiftly tossed aside. The smell that wafted up from the hole was awful. He had no idea what in Stavros's name was down there and was sure he didn't want to know. His muscles tightened as he jumped down through the hole. It wasn't as long a drop as he imagined it would be before his feet hit solid ground. Still, the force made his knees tremble and his teeth chatter. Blazing Glory Ch. 05 Dear Stavros, the stench was nearly unbearable! The little light that came down through the hole revealed that he was inside a tunnel. His hearing picked up the steady flow of water, but most importantly the footfalls of the woman he pursued. He took off after the sound as darkness surrounded him. He stumbled and tripped often as he went, cursing in pain that lanced up through his legs and knees. Other times, the rough impact of crashing into walls nearly took the breath right out of him. But through it all, he rebounded quickly and kept on going. Dear heavens he was going to need a nice long bath and massage from Kendra when this was all said and done. Not long after he thought this, the sound of water gradually faded away along with the smell. He felt the ground beneath him no longer flat, but much more uneven and rocky in places. Much to his frustration, he had to slow down lest he misstep and break an ankle or worse. The sound of her footsteps soon began to grow further away in distance as he bumped and stumbled along what he knew now to be a series of caves and underground tunnels. Blaze's body was soon sorer than it had ever been in all his life from the bumps and scrapes he took. Still he pushed himself on. He would never give up! Not long after some hard rock hit his shoulder painfully, he heard the ninja's footsteps silence. His body tensed as he prepared himself for the possible attack as he still wondered how the ninja could make her way so easily through this pitch black darkness. Creeping forward slowly, he heard a new sound a gargling gasp that was soon followed by a different sounding surprised gasp. It didn't sound too far away. Moving forward still, he heard now heard a voice talking and recognized it as the ninja's. Doing his best to keep quiet, he moved forward to where he could finally make out the words being said. He could tell he was very close now by the strength in volume to the words. "My name Nariko Miakoda of the Miakoda ninja clan and personal assassin of the true goddess of evil, Koas." "Nariko lueth Koas, olot dos!" Having heard the ninja speak her name, he knew where she was approximately. He had to act swiftly while surprise was still in his favor. Rising from his crouch, the young warrior leapt forward and lashed out with his right leg where he had heard Nariko last. He put every last bit of strength he had into the kick. Blaze felt, with great satisfaction, the kick make impact and follow through. Silently thanking the fates for not having made him kick a rock wall, he heard the sickening thud of a body crashing into a wall to his left. He winced as he regretted what he'd just done. He would get no antidote from an unconscious or dead ninja woman. Still, he had to hope the ninja was tough enough to take such a hit without serious injury. "Give me the antidote," he called out angrily in the darkness, "NOW!" Nothing answered him. Shit! He must have knocked her out, not wanting to think about the other possibility. He could see nothing in the darkness as he listened carefully. His hands reached out as he began to feel about him in search of the warm body. He had no idea how long he had been in pursuit and knew he needed to hurry for Tyra's sake. Bright light suddenly surrounded him and blinded him painfully. His arm reached up to block the harsh light. The young warrior backed away quickly from the light that had appeared behind him. Fearing an attack, he peered slightly over his arm to allow his eyes to adjust. Soon, the bright light turned out to only be a soft glow filling the cavern from a ball of light. "Sargh lueth kyona phuul dro'xundus," an unfamiliar feminine voice spoke from behind the light. "What?" he asked as he did not understand. He cursed himself for forgetting the second voice Nariko had been speaking to. The light orb moved to the side suspended above the open palm of the woman. Her beauty took away what little breath he had left in him. Her facial features were as elegant as she was dark. He never knew skin could be as black as hers was. Her long white hair contrasted her skin as her glowing red eyes regarded him coolly. He then noticed the dark pointed ears that extended out of that mane of white softness. "Strength at arms and wariness are survival," she said with an attractive husky accent, "And you have neither as tired as you are, human. I could have killed you as easily as a newborn. Your prey is gone, though I doubt you would have been able to do much against her." Blaze glanced about and saw that she was right. Of the ninja, he saw no sign. She was also right in the fact that he was so weak and tired. Leaning wearily against a stone wall, he watched the cool woman make her way over to what he saw now was a dead male of her race. His throat had been savaged brutally and was now quite dead. As she kneeled beside the man, he noticed a brief expression of grief before her cool mask returned quickly. Those startling red eyes looked up to him now with such coldness that he shivered. "Why do you pursue the ninja woman? You are trespassing into our lands and I have every right to kill you right now. But I give you as much to at least hear you out before I do." Though she was much shorter than he was, he felt wary about the danger this woman imposed. He was not here to make enemies with her and her people though. "I need an antidote from her. She had tried to kill me through a poisoned dart and hit my friend instead." The dark woman smirked coldly before laughing, "So the bitch is a sloppy assassin then. Lucky for you that it wasn't me. I don't miss." "What happened to your friend there?" The woman glanced down to the man with a frown now as she shook her head in disgust. "My Patron, or concubine as you would call in your tongue. I paid the price for my complacency nearly with my life. That whore killed Raviv and was about to finish me off when you nearly caved her skull in with that kick." She smirked pleasantly to herself as she said that. She rose from her crouch and regarded him coolly once more. "My name is Rae Nitara, Matron Mother of the house with the very name." "Blaze," he said simply. He had tensed up and watched her carefully for any sudden movement. He doubted he could defend himself as he was now. Rae regarded him with an amused smirk before laughing coldly, "You are right in fearing me, male! But never mind that for now, Blaze. You have no need to fear me killing you, for now." "Why?" "Usstan saph dos," she said with a smirk but remained silent on what it meant. He was about to ask when her head turned quickly away from him and her raised hand demanding silence. She gave no further explanation than, "Someone comes." Blinking in confusion, Blaze quieted and listened as hard as he could. He couldn't hear a thing. Rae swiftly pulled out a wickedly curved dagger and readied herself. Soon enough, Blaze finally heard the echoing of steps approaching as well as some grunts and groans. Stepping out into the dim light was Kendra and Nadine carrying the bigger Tyra with them. Kendra blinked in the light before seeing him. "Blessed be the eternal darkness of the Abyss! There you are you idiot," she growled. But the succubus couldn't hold back the smile of relief at seeing him. He was totally caught off-guard by them appearing all the way down here. "Kendra? But how did you find me?" Kendra snorted softly and rolled her eyes, "Please, silly man. You're saying a succubus can't hunt down a particular male when she wants to. I could sense what direction you were heading towards, you wonderful hunk of man!" Nadine giggled softly before she helped Kendra lay Tyra down. The female gargoyle looked far worse than he had last seen her. She shivered constantly and her blue skin glimmered under sheen of fevered sweat. Her face grimaced in terrible suffering that both broke his heart and made him further desperate to help somehow. "Friends of yours?" Rae asked from aside. She had been silently observing all of this, having already sheathed her weapon. Kendra glanced up to the dark woman, her eyes narrowing quickly with suspicion. "Yes," he nodded quickly and waved his hand to Tyra, "And that's my friend that's been poisoned by Nariko." The dark woman regarded them with that ever present emotionless expression with her arms folded across her breasts. After a few moments, she turned away and started walking. Blaze and the others were surprised by this action. Kendra was least of all pleased about such a woman turning her back on them. "Come. Bring her along," Rae called back to the without looking back, "I will help... I owe you that much at least, Blaze." Tiredly, Blaze trudged after the dark woman as the light orb floated along with them. Lifting Tyra's arms over their shoulders, the ladies helped the gargoyle along as they caught up with him. They followed the dark woman in silence for a while as she led them down deeper into the underworld. Rae seemed particularly interested in taking them along tougher paths and narrow tunnels as if to avoid coming upon someone or something else. "Why does she 'owe' you, Blaze?" Kendra asked quietly from beside him. He tensed as he could hear the hint of jealousy in her voice as she regarded him. He could understand her feelings. Kendra was very unique in her looks and incredibly beautiful by such. Rae was exactly the same way. Kendra obviously saw Rae's unique beauty as one many could find very attractive and sexually arousing. Thus, she worried about him. Blaze gave her a reassuring grin. "Apparently, I came along just in time to prevent the ninja from killing her." "So I see. But you should be dead by all things considered, Blaze." "Why is that?" he asked her. "She is Drow. A dark elf. The evil side of the elven races. One that in particular despises men as the inferior sex and harboring a deadly hatred for all those who dwell on the surface," the succubus explained. Kendra glanced back to the drowess leading them silently with open suspicion and distrust, "By all accounts, you should have been killed on the spot by her. I don't like this though. She may very well be leading us into a trap." Those words troubled him as he turned his own gaze to regard the drowess. Thoughts of wondering what her motives were and what they could do if it happened to be a trap. Some of his strength was returning to him, but he still felt weary and in need of a good rest. After a few hours it seemed, they walked down a narrow tunnel and were soon greeted by two drow soldiers that stepped out of the darkness to challenge them. The moment they saw Rae, both men immediately dropped to one knee with their heads staring to the ground obediently. "A'dos quarth, Ilharessen Nitara!" they both said in unison. "Kelnozz, send one of the guards to spread the message through the house that I have guests," she said harshly with commanding authority, "Make sure they all know that not one word is to be spread about who and what the guests of my house are. Also tell the entire house that if word does get out, you, the messenger, and whoever leaked the information will be fed to the spiders! Understood?!" "Xas, Ilharessen Nitara," the drow on the right said. He lifted his head as he spoke, but Blaze noticed the man not looking up to his Matron Mother before he quickly left them. Rae turned back to them with her cool gaze, "Come. Welcome to my house. I ask of you to keep out of sight from windows and courtyards while you stay as guests. I cannot afford for you to be seen by rival houses." Without waiting for them to agree, the drowess turned abruptly and walked through the metal door the other guard held open. The light orb winked out, no longer being needed as light poured through the open doorway. As they entered the stone manor's hallways, they saw rows of soft light spaced out along the walls. They swayed about gently with no support or substance to consume while burning. Blaze marveled at this magic as they followed Rae's silent form. The hallways were decorated with paintings and tapestries of great underworld battles in gory detail. Above, the ceilings were covered with white silk and drapes in effects that made it look covered by spiderwebs. Everywhere he looked, Blaze could see furniture, vases, and many other objects decorated with spider designs. Anyone with arachniphobia would go mad in this place, for it was a spider lover's paradise. It made his skin crawl with the creepiness. They all abruptly came to a halt when a huge spider rounded the corner. Blaze felt his blood run cold as the ugly insect was as big as a large hound. The small drowess walked up to the creature and petted its head as she muttered soft loving words in her native tongue. The spider clicked it's mandibles like a dog would wag its tail before she moved on. The massive insect turned to look at them. Blaze was surprised to see it back out of the way respectfully instead of attacking! Not wanting to lose Rae in this expansive home, they slowly moved forward. The spider did nothing as they cautiously passed it. When they had passed, they heard the soft pattering of its legs as it continued on down the hallway. By now, Rae stood by an open door as she waited on them. "Place her in here and my physicians should be in shortly. Blaze. Come with me." Both Blaze and Kendra shared a look, both hoping this wasn't the last time they would see each other. Then the ladies carried the suffering gargoyle into, what he saw now, a large bedroom. Not wanting to irritate an evil elf, Blaze turned to catch up with Rae, who was already striding off. ******************** Rae heard the young man walking quickly behind her to catch up. She knew she was taking a substantial risk in bringing him here. Any news of uninvited outsiders, let alone surface dwellers, could mean dire consequences to her house. But Blaze's friend needed help and she owed him that much after what he'd done for her. In her own small way, it was also retribution against Nariko in depriving the ninja assassin of a kill for her record. She honestly doubted the ninja woman's resume was even close to her current score of kills as a drow assassin. Blaze finally caught up to her and fell in to walk beside her. First the shock came and then the anger. Rae hissed and slammed her fist into his chest. The startled human staggered backwards with his hand against where she had struck the unexpected blow. She could also see the surprise at the strength she had hit him with in those hazel eyes. Not many knew how strong a drowess could be despite their short stature. "Don't you ever walk beside me, male! How dare you even think to do so," Rae hissed angrily as she wheeled around to face him. He looked to her with clear lack of understanding. "And don't you ever look into my eyes around the others. Even the servants!" She was about to continue on berating him when she stopped. Rae could see that he did not comprehend this because of his lack of knowledge. A pang of regret pierced her for what she'd done, but she kept that emotion from expressing itself by maintaining her cool mask. Drow aren't supposed to feel regret, she admonished herself. "Understand this, Blaze. Doing such things is a sign of weakness to other drow. Only Patrons have the designated honor of walking beside their Matron Mothers, but they still may not meet the eyes of the drowess who commands them," she explained as she calmed herself. "Remember that or you put yourself and your friends at risk along with me and my house." He nodded as he understood, still meeting her gaze though. She noted that others were not around and allowed it to happen. The drowess even felt a twinge of respect that he did so to her. Then again, she already liked and respected him for the prowess in battle he showed himself capable of. "I'm sorry about that and will do my best to remember," he said as they continued walking on with him walking just behind her as a male should. "Can you tell me what will be done for Tyra?" "It is easy enough," she said over her shoulder to him, "They will give her anti-toxins to combat what has poisoned her. Drow assassins use the deadliest poison in the world known as Lloth's Kiss. It is essentially a combination of toxins with the main ingredient being the venom from our spiders. The one you saw moments ago was one of those. Accidents happen on missions and should one poison themselves, they will have the cure at their disposal, unlike their intended victim." She noted that he remained silent, obviously satisfied with her answer. His friend would be fine sure enough. Blaze remained silent for the rest of the time she led him before they arrived at a set of double doors. She always marveled at its beauty with the carvings of spiders all about it. Such lovely beings, spiders. Opening the door, they entered the large bedroom of Death's Mistress. "Take all your clothes off," she said simply as she closed the doors behind him and locked them. Her tone made it quite obvious it wasn't a request either. Blaze blinked to her in confusion before he slowly removed his blade harness. Rae leaned against the doors as she watched him pull his shirt off over his head. A slow smirk spread across those dark lips of hers as she gazed over his body approvingly so far. He wasn't a muscled behemoth like many drow gossiped all human men to be, but well-toned like a drow warrior. Just like Raviv. After kicking off his boots, he undid the ties to his pants and pushed them off. The drowess's smirk quickly turned to an opened mouthed one as she gasped in shock. His limp dick was... HUGE! She'd slept with many drow men before and they were perfectly proportional to their body in cock size. She'd always heard rumor of the bigger human men having mammoth dicks, but she'd always disbelieved it. Rae was now a believer as she looked at the first human cock she'd ever seen. Bloody Lloth, she could only imagine the size of the humans bigger than Blaze! Her heart pounded wildly in her chest as she watched him fold his clothes neatly and put them aside. She swallowed hard and regained her composure before he looked back to her. She had to forcefully rip her gaze from that impressive pale-fleshed rod. Her eyes had also confirmed what she had suspected after first seeing him. Blaze was badly injured. Deep, dark bruises, cuts and ragged scrapes covered a majority of his body. His trip through the underworld hadn't been a friendly one. "Sit down," she said firmly as she walked over to one of her desks. Opening a drawer, she pulled out a large bottle filled with a black salve. "You look like you need some help as well and I will assist you." The drowess was surprised he hadn't passed out from such brutal injuries. Walking over to the man, she set about rubbing the salve over the wounds as she chanted drow words of healing. Like many Matron Mothers of noble houses, she'd gone through harsh training growing up. Part of that had been the art of magic that the priestesses of Lloth had taught to her and others. Death's Mistress was not only an assassin, but a sorceress as well. When her hands left the injured areas, both salve and wound were gone. During this long process, she tried to keep her eyes averted. But no matter how hard she tried, her gaze was frequently drawn to that impressive length. His cock was so close and she ached to touch it. Soon enough, however, all his wounds were healed. She capped the container silently and grimaced at the pain in her shoulders. It had been a hard and lengthy task. "I can help you with that. It's only fair after what you've done for me. Kendra says I've gotten quite good at it actually." Rae looked up to him with her red eyes in astonishment. He wanted to put his hands on her? On her body? The thought excited and disgusted her at the same time. He was a human! But how she ached to be touched. If only Raviv were still alive... She shook that thought from her mind as she nodded. If it was one thing that drow could never turn down, it was a massage. Blaze rose to go to his clothes and put them on, but her hand against his chest halted him.

Chapter 6 - Storm's Wrath The morning sky was a dim blue in the twilight before the rising of the sun. The birds sang and chirped away in the gardens where he sat in patient waiting. Stavros always enjoyed moments like these. Peaceful and quiet with the birth of a new day. One can easily forget the troubles of the world like this, if at least for a brief time. The bright golden light peeked over the high mountain tops finally as the sun greeted him. "Always such a beautiful sight to behold," a feminine voice said to his right. He glanced over and saw the Dark Maiden gazing wistfully towards the sun as it rose. Eilistraee sighed softly and folded her arms beneath her breasts. "An event I wish all drow can enjoy themselves someday." Stavros nodded to the tall drowess, "They will. In due time, my friend. What brings you here this morning?" Her blue eyes glanced from the sun to him as a sly grin appeared on her face. "Other than the fantastic view? Just some news from one of my own servants. It seems now that Blaze and his friends have pushed into Kozue in their pursuit." "Really? Kozue?" the big immortal said thoughtfully, "An old friend of mine lives there." Eilistraee strode over and sat down next to him. "You're talking about Drisana aren't you?" He nodded as he watched the sun slowly rise higher into the sky. "That I am. My old friend has run into some trouble recently with some neighbors. I'll send a message about Blaze coming into her territory. Perhaps he can help her and in turn she helps him in the pursuit." The Dark Maiden shook her head and looked back up to the mountains brightening in the morning light, muttering softly, "That's if she doesn't eat him first." ******************** The birds chirped softly in those morning hours far to the south of the watchful immortal gods. The darkness of twilight still hung in the air with the thick forest canopy covering the sky. These green leaves swayed about gently as Blaze watched in thoughtful silence. Nadine lay not far away, purring away in happy dreams. Behind the furry lycan, the large beautiful gargoyle slept sitting back against a tree. Tyra folded her wings about her like a blanket in her quiet slumber. Further away, the dark wraith watched over them all with her glowing red eyes. Blaze knew nothing could get past the drowess's keen eyes and hearing. That wasn't why he hadn't slept very much this night or the nights past, for that matter. Lying close next to him was the most perfect, beautiful woman in all the world. She stirred slightly as waves of vanilla hair gently drifted aside and her always possessive arm hugged him closer to her. They had been in pursuit of Danika for days now and it always seemed like the enforcer of the evil goddess was one step ahead of them. "What's wrong, Richard?" The quiet whisper startled him slightly out of his brooding thoughts. He glanced down into those brilliant emerald eyes. It never ceased to amaze him how he could lose himself in those depths. "I'm sorry, Kendra. I didn't mean to wa-" he started, but she hushed him softly with her fingers to his lips. "Don't try to change the subject, Richard. Something is bothering you. I can feel it," she said with a concerned frown. Her eyes showed genuine concern as they looked into the very depths of his soul. There was no use hiding anything from this succubus. She knew how to find a man's darkest secret. He broke his gaze from hers as he looked up to the trees again, "I was just thinking about what's happened recently. The chasing, fear, and battles we've all been through together." Blaze could feel her steadily watching him in the silent moments to follow. He had almost thought she'd fallen back asleep before she spoke again. "You've never killed before recently, have you?" He blinked at that statement. The young warrior could only nod as he wondered if she could truly see into his soul after all. The succubus sighed softly to herself before gently running her hand up and down his chest. "Don't think about it," she whispered softly to him, "I know what you're thinking to yourself and you're not a cold-blooded murderer. You killed not only to save others, but your very own life as well. Those fighting you could care less about how they felt about it afterwards. They would have relished in the memory of your death. There will be more killing to come, dear Richard. You must not hesitate when the time to kill comes again." He nodded silently as he listened. He had been an open book and she'd read him cover to cover. The sultry demoness leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips. He smiled as his troubled thoughts melted away with the warmth of those full lush lips of hers and kissed her in return. "You're such a good man, Richard.. It's a good thing you have such a cute ass too," she cooed sexily and winked. He couldn't help but laugh a bit at that. She gave him a sly grin before they fell back asleep together to get a little more rest while they could. Later that morning, they were all soon underway with Nadine and him scouting in front to follow Danika's distinctive tracks in the roads and trails. Blaze had learned a few days ago that they had entered the land of Kozue. Unlike the democracy of Quinlinn and theocracy of Shoushan, Kozue was a mixture of a monarchy and democracy. A royal family of humans handled many affairs of this kingdom to help ensure the unity among the several races. However, each race was a government unto themselves that didn't have to always answer to the ruling royal family. It was a delicate and complex form of unity, but all races managed through deep friendship and respect. They had skirted Lycan territory to their west as they followed north the growing mountain chain of the Eskols. The mountains were soon growing to such impressive heights that Blaze had never imagined mountains could be that tall. Many of their tops were still capped with snow while he sweated away in the heat where he was far below. Simply amazing! Nadine drew them to a halt as she stopped by the side of the road before dropping her pack to the ground. In a quiet sullen expression of resignation, she pulled out her white dress. "What in Lloth's name are you doing?" asked a bewildered Rae. The lycan woman sighed as she pulled the thin clothing over her lush furry body, "We're very close to Lachlan. We don't want to upset the humans with a 'nude' lycan wandering about now would we?" The drowess snorted softly and smirked. Obviously Rae would have no problem walking into a city with nothing but her skin, but Blaze knew she would rather at night and not expose that sensitive underworld skin to the sun so soon. "Nadine's right. I recognize this area. We should reach Lachlan in the next hour," Kendra stated confidently after looking around. Nadine signaled that she was ready and they immediately set onward again. Blaze was excited to hear this news. Even in the remote fishing village of Kyros, everyone knew about the famous Lachlan. But it wasn't the town that was the reason for its infamy. It was the numerous hot springs that dotted the surrounding mountains. A lavish place many rich and royal families traveled to so they could enjoy the pleasant hot waters. But it wasn't restricted to the wealthy only. All were welcome to use and relax in the springs from foreign travelers down to poor street peddlers. The springs were free to all who wished. Some even whispered of the waters healing powers, but all knew that everyone loved them just to relax in or have fun. Kendra's ever impressive memory proved true enough as they found themselves looking down upon the large village nestled at the base of the mountain. Numerous paths lead out of Lachlan into the mountains to the source of wealth that had caused the town to grow swiftly. "That's odd," the succubus muttered as she stepped up beside him, her wings folding and disappearing from her head and back. Apparently succubae were not as welcome in this part of the world as they are in Shoushan. Tyra overlooked them all easily enough with her own impressive eyesight. "Where is everybody?" Kendra shook her head as her confusion grew, "Nowhere... Lachlan should be fairly active at this time of day." Squinting as best he could, Blaze gazed down into the city and noticed no rising dust from streets being traveled. No small insect-like forms moving about in the usual daily tasks. The sight looked much similar to the ghost city of Nervei and unnerved him greatly. They all stood there looking uncertainly before Rae sighed impatiently. "Well you all can just stand here and gawk all afternoon. I'm going down there to rest in a bed for once!" the drowess said as she strode ahead of them. She waived her hand back to them. "Aluve'!" The others stared after the Matron Mother in shock. All except Kendra, her cool gaze following the drowess with a dark scowl. Shaking their heads in resignation, they followed quickly as they shared the same thoughts of wandering into something they'd rather not. Making their way down into the mountain valley, they soon reached the village perimeter. Rae stood there in wraith-like form with ring sabers out. Her head was canted slightly to the side as if she were listening to something. Nadine's cat ears perked up as she glanced about with a small gasp, "There are people hear!" Rae nodded in agreement as the others looked about the shuttered buildings. Blaze looked to the catwoman with a questioning look. Her golden eyes blinked as she looked back to him, "Believe me, Blaze. They're here. Everyone is inside all of the buildings." The young warrior glanced at the buildings more closely now and noticed many pairs of eyes glancing nervously at them out the narrow slits of the shutters. Blaze was about to ask Kendra a question when a cry startled the whole party. "DIIIIEEEE YOU BLOODY DRAGON!!!!!!!!" Blaze and everyone whipped around as they began to draw their weapons. What they saw made them stop halfway. A bewildered Tyra stood there as human youth clambered about her, beating her with fists and a small club that didn't affect the tough gargoyle one bit. The teenage boy quickly gave up the club as he tried to choke the guardian out, hands about her neck as his feet dangled in the air. Nadine burst into a fit of giggles at the ridiculous sight. Tyra simply rolled her eyes and plucked the boy from her like she would an annoying ant. The youth struggled valiantly in front of her, kicking and flailing about. Dear Stavros, what was he to do with this kid? "Dewin! Curse you damnable boy!" came a cry from the nearby building that looked to be a wealthy tavern. Out the doors burst a heavyset man with balding grey hair wearing an apron. The man slowed down as he approached them, especially after seeing the death-like cloaked member with the blades shining. "Please don't hurt the boy! A bloody dimwit that he is, but he's my son. My oldest!" the man begged. Tyra dropped the young man unceremoniously on his ass, having had no intention of hurting him to begin with. The boy quickly scurried back to the safety of the building after the kick to the ass his father gave him. Looking back to see his son safely inside, the man looked intensely relieved. Looking back to them, he bowed with respect as his hands clutched at his grease-stained apron in apprehension. "My apologies to you, miss gargoyle, for his reckless actions. My name is Edwin." The tall guardian simply waved her hand that it was no trouble at all. Still, even with her assurances and Rae sheathing those wicked weapons, the man looked about nervously as if just standing there in the street were placing his life at risk. Blaze frowned as he looked to see no others had come out of the buildings to see them. Something was wrong. "Hello Edwin... I'm Blaze. These are my friends Kendra, Rae, Nadine, and Tyra," he said in polite introduction, "Is there any particular reason why everyone isn't coming outside?" The heavy tavern keeper simply sighed, shoulders slumping as he looked to have aged twenty more years in seconds. "Lachlan is in constant terror these days. Attacks come every other day upon the village. So far only a few buildings have been lost and a few injured. But we fear the worst is yet to come." "Fear what?" Kendra asked suspiciously. "The fire bringers of death! Monsters they are! Sending giant rocks crashing down onto us or scorching us with rain of fire to burn the village to ashes! May Stavros curse those fiendish dragons!" the man cursed angrily with tears of frustration and fear. "Dragons!?" Blaze exclaimed. Edwin's confirming nod barely registered with him. Dragons! Excitement tore through him. He had always loved dragons and the tales they were in when he was growing up. He never cared nor believed how many portrayed them as the evil monsters preying upon man. To him, dragons had always symbolized things he had respected. Dragons exhibited strange beauty, timeless wisdom, unerring honor, and boundless power. Yet no one in Quinlinn believed dragons even existed anymore. Even he had thought their existence merely that of fanciful stories and nothing more. Now he was faced with his childhood dreams, but could not believe they would commit such acts of terror. Kendra stepped up beside him and leaned in close. "This could be Danika's work. The fire demon probably believes she has lost us. But she may have been trying to incense these people into attacking any strangers as a precaution," she whispered into his ear. He nodded slightly with a small smile to her. He turned his gaze back to the nervously shuffling tavern keeper. "We don't mean to trouble you much longer, sir. Would you happen to have any rooms available? Edwin shook his head with a rueful laugh, "Of course I do! No one comes to Lachlan much anymore out of fear of the dragons. So there are plenty of rooms available." "Good then," he said with a grin, "Two rooms with four beds are all we need. By the way, which direction are most of the attacks coming from?" When the old man pointed up one of the main paths leading into the mountains and hot springs, Blaze turned around to tell the others his plans to search the mountains the remainder of the afternoon and early evening for these hostile dragons. Nadine and Tyra immediately volunteered to come along with him. "While you're off hunting lizards, I'm going to have a look around this village for signs of our prey," Death's Mistress stated before striding off without another word. Kendra's narrowed gaze followed the drowess as she departed. Blaze couldn't help but notice the dark frown on her face and grew worried of a potential confrontation between the two women. Exactly why was a mystery to him. Kendra looked to him and gave him a wink. "I think I will go along with her and make sure she doesn't stir any trouble up. Have fun in the hills, stud!" Watching the demoness stride off after the drowess, the dread grew all the more. So distracted was he by watching his close lover leave, he didn't notice the figure shadowed in darkness watching them all from an alleyway. ******************** A few hours later, the issue of the growing hostility between the two women was the last thing on his mind. Bending over and gasping for breath, he wondered why it was that mountains had to be so blasted high! Tyra, Nadine and himself had followed one of the main trails up into the mountains after dropping off their packs and supplies in the rooms. Now carrying only their weapons and the clothing they wore, the three trudged up the path towards the springs. After a few minutes of steady upward incline, the path began to rise sharply. So much so that after a little while, his legs were aching in protest as they continued to climb. Glancing to his companions now, he could see even the powerful gargoyle and lithe catwoman straining from the exertion. Wherever these hot springs were, they must surely be worth such a long hike into the mountains. "I'm so bloody tired, my vision is starting to get hazy," he muttered to the others as he trudged on. Just as he said that, the air in front of him seemed to thicken and cloud up to the point of where he thought he was in the process of passing out. Before he could take another step, Blaze felt something grab the back of his shirt and hold him fast. Gasping in shock, he turned around to see Tyra behind him calmly and holding him with her hand. "Tyra? What are you doing?" The gargoyle simply smiled and pointed in front of him. The young warrior looked back in front of him to where she pointed. Shit! He stumbled back and landed on his ass. No wonder his vision was so hazed. It was steam! One more step and he would have been taking a dip into the large hot spring, clothes and all. Blaze blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment. "Uh, yeah. Thanks Tyra," he laughed lightly. "YIPEEEE!!!" came a joyful cry as a shadow passed over them. Both human and gargoyle stared in shock as Nadine dove into the water tucked up into a furry ball. The ensuing splash in front of them made Blaze splutter as he was instantly soaked. Tyra simply laughed as she shielded herself with her wings. Blaze grumbled as he shook the water off of him and wrung out his shirt, "I should have just fallen in to begin with." The catwoman surfaced close by and flung her wet bright orange hair back in an alluring sight that both her companions couldn't help but stop and appreciate. He couldn't help but also appreciate the wet fur clinging closely to those full feminine curves of the lycan. Her large breasts seemed to stand out more with her bright red nipples evident for all to see. Nadine giggled and waved at them as she sank back down into the water a little. "Come on in! The water is wonderful!" she called out. Looking at the shimmering surface of the spring, Blaze was unsure of its depth and surface type beneath. He blinked in shock once again as Tyra dove over him into the water with a lesser resulting splash. When the guardian surfaced, her skimpy top wetly clung to her large breasts and left nothing to the imagination. The poor fellow didn't have to imagine though as he watch the gargoyle pull her top off over her head, sending those heavy blue breasts bouncing free. A geyser of a nosebleed nearly erupted from him as he watched two hot females lean back against the rock edge of the spring, presenting him with the delicious image of wet glistening bodies and breasts. In a moment of solemn humbleness, the young warrior gazed to the heavens and thanked them for this moment! "Why don't you come join us, Blaze?" Tyra offered with a slow smile spreading on her face. Oh the temptation to rip off his clothing, dive in and screw both females silly! The throbbing bulge in his pants agreed wholeheartedly to leap into action. But with a grimace, he kept his head in check and shook his head with a sigh, "I can't. At least one of us should be on the look-out for any surprises. You two go ahead and enjoy yourselves." Blazing Glory Ch. 06 Nadine and Tyra blinked before looking at each other. Blaze passing up two hot babes in a spring? Both shrugged, knowing he was missing out on a good thing. But the ever observant guardian returned her gaze to him. "What's eating you?" She smiled when she saw him jump at her question and knowing how he was feeling. She winked and lowered herself a bit further into the steamy water, "I take my charges seriously, Blaze. I've come to recognize how you are feeling emotionally and physically through your own actions, words, and expressions. I wouldn't be too great a guardian if I didn't, now would I?" He nodded his head in admittance that she had a point and was spot on with his feelings. Sitting down upon a raised outcropping of rocks overlooking the spring, he looked down to the two women. "It's just the fact of dragons being the cause of this. All my life I have heard them in tales as the evil beasts who burn villages, destroy kingdoms, and kidnap helpless virginal maidens and princesses. All this wrongdoing until the hero comes along and vanquishes the winged lizard and rids the world of an abomination," he said with hand raised in mock flare of the theatrical tales, but then shook his head. Nadine frowned cutely as she looked up to him, brushing wet strands of hair from her golden eyes, "And you didn't?" "While everyone grew up in fear of such monsters, I grew up in awe of them. The stories described in great detail their ferocity, wisdom, and unfathomable power. I dreamed of meeting such creatures that were not supposed to exist anymore. Soon I formulated my own opinion and ideals on how they were through listening to the tales with the idea in mind that the humans were probably being ignorant through fear of the unknown," he said with a disgusted look. "Much like the villagers were with you, Nadine. Such belief made me believe in you then and believe in these dragons now rather than the people of Lachlan. By the heavens, did you see how that one just assumed Tyra was a dragon and attacked her?" Shaking his head in further distaste, he watched his two friends swim up close to him in the steamy waters. Nadine was grinning in fond memory of his heroic actions in her defense while Tyra gazed appreciatively at him for his insight to not take in everything as it seems. Nadine giggled up to him as she leaned forward up against the lip of the spring with her arms resting on the dark rock, "Well you are right in some ways Blaze." She purred in response to him when she saw his look of confusion. "We lycans have dealt with dragons from time to time." Taking in his sudden eager posture of leaning forward as a sign to continue on, Nadine smiled once more. "Dragons are physically everything I am sure you have heard in the stories. Lizards with wings essentially, but something more to them that one cannot place. They are so mysterious even when you see one face to face. Everyone is instantly seized with fear in their presence and holds you still as stone. It is because of not only their obvious lethalness in body, but a sense of such power within that terrifies the mind." "But do they act evil like so many stories tell?" Blaze pressed. Nadine shook her head, "I cannot fully answer that. Some have acted purely evil in the past to be sure, but others have acted so noble that you can't help but admire and love them. But most tend to keep to themselves and hide their intentions within. So you never know with a dragon and this adds more to their mystery. Put that together with the fact that most races, even us lycans, hardly ever see them or even interact in Kozue." "Thus leading to suspicion, fear, and wild tales nothing more than made up lies," Blaze finished with a sigh. Both women nodded as he they looked at him from the spring. He thought it over silently for a few moments before looking to them. "Well I refuse to take part in such. I'm going to find one of these dragons and find out the truth." Blaze noticed Nadine's eyes slowly begin to widen in astonishment. "Blaze..." "Nadine, I know what you're about to say. It's dangerous and suicidal, but I still think we can do it." Tyra's eyes were wide as they both stared at him in astonishment. "What?" he asked. But both of them stared at him as if at a loss for words until both finally summoned enough breath to shout at the same time. "Blaze!" "WhaAAAAAH!!!" His question turned to scream before fading into the massive rush of wind sending both women sprawling back into the water. Nadine surfaced spluttering about with her long hair all about her. A naked Tyra had already leapt out of the water and her spiked mace in hand. Of Blaze, he was nowhere to be seen. Both Tyra and Nadine stared at the spot he had occupied moments before. "Did you see what I did?" Nadine asked, scrambling out of the water. Tyra's looked around the surroundings searchingly. "I looked up just in time to see a shadow rise behind Blaze before the wind hit," she muttered angrily. Nadine shook herself, spraying the water off of her fur as she meowed worriedly, "It looks like Blaze doesn't have to find the dragons to learn the truth. The dragons found him!" "Yes and now we are the ones having to find him. Come on let's go!" Tyra growled as she grabbed her clothing and ran in the direction the wind rushed towards as it blew them over. Unsurprisingly, both naked females found themselves hurrying further up into the mountains in the chill nighttime air. Tyra kept a sharp eye on the sky as Nadine listened with her cat ears for any sound. It had been almost an hour of looking when they came upon it. A split in the path. Off to the left the path rose steadily up into the mountains that still towered above them impressively. To the right, the path dipped down into a dark narrow canyon that looked to continue a good length on through the mountains. Both of them came to a stop so as to catch their breath as they gazed frustratingly at the fork in the road. "Great! How are we going to find him now?," Nadine sniffed as she rose and stomped her foot angrily on the ground. Tyra silently gazed between the two choices with her calm expression before sighing. "The dragon's lair could be either in the higher reaches of the mountain or down in that long canyon. It looks like we have no choice but to split up." The catwoman blinked before looking at both routes hesitantly. Both looked dark and foreboding in the night. Clearly they were not wise places to go alone either way. But concern for her friend and to get him back quickly overshadowed any fear. The lycan nodded to her gargoyle companion. "I'll take the low pass and you can take the high one. Please be careful, Tyra," she whispered fearfully. The guardian nodded slightly, firm in her resolution to get Blaze back. Both friends shared one more silent look before walking to their paths. Soon, the rock wall separated both from sight as they each moved on in search of the young warrior. ******************** Lexiss stepped silently into the dark tunnel. Where there was light in the universe, everything cast a shadow. Even here in the subterranean underworld beneath the surface, there were areas where shadows were cast by lights and phosphorous algae. Nothing was out of her reach, the shadow mistress thought with a pleased feeling. That feeling soon faded as she remembered her goal for coming here. This was by far the most dangerous task Koas had given her in recruitment for her plans. But for the first time Lexiss felt dread. These were by far among the most dangerous creatures Koas had shown interest in. Lexiss wondered if it was wise to trust them and have them as part of the army. Koas had made it clear that they were essential though. The shadow mistress shivered though. There was no guarantee that they would accept and join. They could even kill her, as dangerous as they were. The grey-skinned beauty moved down the beaten path lit by torches of violet flames and the occasional soft green glowing algae. The only sound she could hear were her own footsteps and it unnerved her. She should have felt comfortable in such darkness, but she couldn't help but look in every cranny for one of them waiting to attack her. It had been another few minutes of traveling when she heard it. But in truth her ears hadn't heard a thing. In her own mind she had heard the delicate hiss and she knew then she had been found rather than the other way around. Turning about quickly, she found herself looking at one of them. The sight repulsed her and made her take quite a few steps back away. It stood like any normal person and was clothed in flowing robes with a high stiff collar. All about its robe were images of death and despair. A human skull dangled on the chain hanging around the neck of the six foot monster. Its skin was a hideous mauve glistening with slime. White eyes without any pupils evident stared through her flesh and bone into her very mind. Its mouth was a beak that clicked softly as four tentacles surrounding it waved about. She shivered inwardly as she stared at the illithid. Or more infamously known, a mind flayer. She took up her guard instantly, knowing it may not do her much good if it decided to hit her with a mind blast that would knock her unconscious or destroy her mind completely. Then she would be able to do nothing as it latched onto her skull with the tentacles, cracked open her skull with that sharp beak and feed upon her brains. "Relax, agent of Koasss," it said with a hiss, its words not spoken by mouth but within her mind. "I am here to meet you asss requesssted of the goddesss." "Are you the leader then of the illithid in this region?" she asked nervously. The mind flayer waved its hand, three reddish fingers and thumb, in dismissal. "No. I have been sssent to meet you by the elder-brain. It sssensssed you but we are ssstill too far away for communication. Now follow me ssso we may draw clossser." She would have scoffed at the haughty arrogance that this illithid gave off, but she was cautious to not anger it and did as it said instead. The shadow mistress followed the creature with the head like an octopus for what seemed like an hour, but she couldn't tell time underneath the surface as she was. She was beginning to get irritated when the mind flayer before her stopped, turned around and stood there patiently. "Greetingsss, Lexisss Makora," a new voice suddenly whispered in her mind. She somehow could feel that this voice held an undeniable power greater than the illithid before her. "There isss no need for you to tell me why you have come. I have looked into your mind already and know." Lexiss looked around for the source of the voice, but it was only her and her escort. "Where are you?" she demanded. She would at least see who she is dealing with! "Far away ssstill, Lexisss. I am the elder-brain, a sssentient being ruling over the illithid in thisss region. You may wisssh to sssee me, but you would not accept what you would witnesss." The voice quieted and the mind flayer before her looked to her as if he was dealing with a petulant child. "The elder-brain isss in our city. It isss a pool of briny fluid containing the brainsss of dead illithid telepathically unified into one consssciousss being to rule our city," it hissed into her mind. Lexiss felt her stomach turn as revulsion grew within her. How could they align themselves with such nasty, despicable things? But Koas's demands were absolute and failure would be punished horribly. "Koasss wissshesss for the illithid to join her forcesss," the elder-brain hissed, "But what would the illithid gain from sssuch an obligation that could cossst many their livesss? Essspecially when we abhor the light of the sssurface world." Lexiss swallowed and cleared her throat, unsure if she should speak aloud still or try mentally. She decided she might as well speak as she was used to. "Koas knows of the ancient hatred between your race and the drow. She has plans for the dwarves to be taken care of, but she felt that you would like to destroy the drow in this area and claim their territory for your own. And in doing so, establishing yourselves as the true rulers of the underworld rather than the drow. I believe your kind has always desired such?" "Yesss," the elder-brain confirmed tonelessly, "Long have we fought againssst the vile dark elvesss for dominance. Many of my brainsss are of illithid fallen by drow handsss. We long for their agony, dessstruction, and brainsss." "Will you join us then?" Lexiss asked. "An opportunity to remove the infessstation of dark elvesss once and for all isss something that cannot be ignored or disssmisssed easssily. We will fulfill out part of the plansss Koasss hasss and then the ressst you will all do alone. We desssire the drow'sss demissse and territory. Nothing more." Lexiss nodded as she watched the mind flayer turn about and leave her without a gesture of parting. She felt the presence leave her mind with him and knew that her task was completed successfully. Stepping into the shadows, she left that area more than eagerly... ******************** Two dark clouds made their way through the town of Lachlan that put the fear into all of the people living there. One cloud made its way through the city in the form of death. A wraith making its way from one building to the next. Glowing red eyes from within the darkness of that hood made many a men tremble and women quail as they answers its questions. The dark cloud in their lives would pass as silently and quickly as it had come after answering the questions given. So quickly that many were left wondering if it were a dream and soon dismissed it as ever happening. The other cloud moved through the city like a growing storm cloud. Often when with the presence of the other cloud, this one's weather seemed to take a turn for the worse. Many villagers stayed clear away from this one as it was clear that it could lash out in its anger swiftly any moment. Though some didn't have a choice in the matter as this one questioned them as well. They were left quaking in terror and checking themselves to see if they were still alive once left alone. The latter was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen but would rather not have seen to begin with. Kendra, too, grew tired of seeing the villagers and getting the same answers. The succubus was in a terrible mood. And it was all about Rae. The drowess was pissing her off. What was she up to? Kendra was grateful to the Matron Mother for saving Tyra's life and helping them in other matters, but what had she to gain from coming with them? A drowess willing to tolerate the harsh conditions of the surface world and threat to her life must be after something in return. That chain of thought always led to the same conclusion and worsened her mood every time it did. Rae wanted Blaze. Kendra knew as well that the drowess had every intention of keeping him for her own. She had heard Rae's whispered words a few nights ago. 'Patron' she had called him. No drowess ever shared their personal lover with anyone else. Death's Mistress must be biding her time while she, Nadine, and Tyra had their fun. Once their guard was down, she would take him from them. Nadine was bonded to him in deep friendship and love. She had agreed to share. Tyra loved his company and humor. She was fine partaking with the others when it came to the young warrior. But Kendra could tell Rae wasn't going to be so easy and to the Abyss if she was going to let some pompous drow bitch take him from her! Miss 'high and mighty' drowess was due for a rude awakening and Kendra was more than happy to deliver it. It was late in the afternoon when she returned to the inn. No one approached her or said anything as she passed through the common room. She could literally taste their fear of her and knew they didn't quite understand why they felt so. Coming to one of their rooms, she opened the door and spotted the drowess sitting quietly upon a bed. With night's coming, Rae had discarded her cloak and sat as if awaiting Kendra's return to report as a dutiful servant. Kendra stiffened angrily with the indignation of it. Rae sat there expectantly waiting still as Kendra silently closed the door behind her. It gave her time to collect her temper before turning back to the assassin. "Find any information on Danika, Rae?" the demoness asked, smiling inwardly when she saw Rae stiffen at being asked instead of reported to. Full dark lips frowned darkly for a moment before a barely noted shake of her head. "Nau. I only found bits of pieces that could hardly be called worthy of note. It seems that a good number of red-heads have passed through here. Not to mention the number of them that live in Lachlan. And people come through here wearing armor all the time because it's normal in such wild lands surrounding this town." Kendra nodded without comment. She had heard essentially the same thing. With a frustrated sigh, she moved over to the window and gazed down into the empty streets in the waning afternoon. "Rae. We need to talk." "What about?" she heard the drowess speak behind her. "I'm not letting you take Blaze from me," the succubus stated simply. When she looked over her shoulder to the assassin, Rae was leaning back with her arms supporting her as she looked to Kendra with a smirk. "Oh really now. I didn't think you even had a choice in the matter, Kendra." Rae laughed softly when she saw Kendra stiffen a bit. "I do plan on taking Blaze for myself in due time, but not until this matter with Nariko is finished. You can have your fun with him in the meantime," she said with a smirk. Kendra nearly ground her teeth as she clenched her fist tightly. The arrogance of this bitch! The pleasant image of ripping this small dark elf to pieces entered her mind. With a reluctant sigh, she reigned in her anger once more. Barely. "I hate to disappoint you, Matron Mother," she growled mockingly, "But I was with him long before your black ass came around. Once this is all done, Blaze is staying with me and you can go back to humping whatever stalagmite you like in the underworld." The succubus smirked now as she saw the drowess stiffen and sit up quickly. Rae hissed angrily as she rose slowly from the bed and stood before the demoness. "You vithing bitch.... How dare you speak to me like that! Blaze is my Patron and I will have him!" she spat as she stepped up to Kendra daringly. "And when I take him from you, you will never be able to find us. You can search and I welcome you to go ahead and try. But remember this when you do. Every moment you spend wandering around the vast underworld trying to find the drow, he is with me! And I will fuck him so well that all memory of you will disappear and from then on he will scream out MY name!" Within a flash, Kendra's hand seized Rae's throat and lifted the drowess off the ground. Her arm trembled with unbridled fury from those words whispered by the assassin. Those glowing red eyes gazed into hers darkly yet calmly. It was then she felt the cool, wet metal pressed against the skin of her neck. "You know you can't kill an immortal like that," she whispered darkly. All mocking arrogance was gone now, replaced by the cool steady mask of a heartless assassin. "That's where you're wrong. My special blade here is coated with poison blessed by the priests of Lloth. One little knick is all it will take. Once in your blood stream it won't matter if your immortal or not. You'll die and die painfully." "And what makes you think you'll be quick enough, Rae? I could paralyze you by crushing your neck and spine in an instant." "You really think you can be quick enough?" Rae hissed. "Try me...." Two of the deadliest women in the known world stared icily at each other for minutes as they stayed frozen. The dark blade pressed firmly to Kendra's throat and Rae's neck gripped tightly by the demon's hand. Each woman looked into the other's eyes and calculated their emotions and the situation in silence. Both soon realized neither was going to back down and they were at a stalemate. Blazing Glory Ch. 06 "You rat-winged slut..." Rae spit venomously. "Spider-fucking whore," Kendra countered angrily. Slowly at the same time, the blade withdrew and hand loosened its grip. The next moment, both gorgeous women stepped back from each other with tempers barely checked. Rae rubbed her neck with a scowl before whipping around to stride out of the room. Kendra soon heard the door in their other room next over opening and slammed by the angry drowess. Kendra leaned back against the wall and rubbed her own neck absentmindedly. She hadn't doubted the drowess's words on the poison. That was no bluff but a promise of death from the assassin. Kendra could see it in those red eyes. That was the first time in her existence she had to back down in consideration of her own life. Some part of her whispered that it had been the first time Rae had to do the same as well. Both women didn't take such feelings well and now silently thought the matter over by themselves. The demoness lay on the bed after a few moments as she thought the whole event through again. No matter what she thought she could have said, the outcome would likely have remained the same. Frustrated about not resolving the problem, she felt the sudden need to get out of this inn and away from the close proximity to the pompous assassin. She needed to let off some steam. Emerald green eyes blinking, she sat up quickly as it hit her. The hot springs! There was no better way to relax and forget that bitch for a brief period. Kendra moved silently out of her room and closed the door as softly as she could. She didn't want to let the drowess know she was leaving and find out where she was going. She wanted some alone time. Not needing to ask for directions, the succubus knew from memory where the nearest spring was. It was not even that far from the inn they were at. After a fifteen minute walk into the upper foothills near the base of the mountains, she could see the steamy vapors rising through the trees and high grass. Crickets chirped softly now in increasing numbers as darkness settled in, the sun having set during her journey to this place. The demoness looked up to the stars making their individual appearances in the blackened sky. Breathing in the fresh mountain air, she could already feel the tension leaving her body and her mind easing into calm. The succubus slipped off her leather coat, revealing the slender brown arms as she folded it neatly. After putting it aside, laces were undone and drawn away from the leather vest. It opened to let those heavy round breasts swing free. Kendra hummed softly as she felt her pale nipples capping those large brown orbs harden in the slight night chill. Soon following the vest were her boots and tight leather pants. Folding everything neatly, she hid them under the brush near a skinny oak tree. Kendra now stood naked in the forest, her hands roaming gently up and down her beautiful body sensually. She moaned softly as she enjoyed the feel of them and wished it were Richard's hands on her body at this moment. By the Abyss, that man owed her a good plowing when he got back from his search and she intended to collect on that hot fuck! It had only been a moment in making her way to the spring when she heard the splash. Kendra froze in midstep at the sound. There had been no mistaking what she had heard, but normally no one was out at the springs at this time of night for fear of nighttime predators and monsters. She stepped through the leafy brush into the open area of the spring and blinked at what she saw. Red eyes blinked in surprise in return. A very naked drowess stared at her from within the hot waters. Long white hair dangled wetly about her as her obsidian skin glistened beautifully in the moonlight. Kendra had to grudgingly admit the sight was quite erotically breathtaking. She had seen Rae nude before, but in this light the drowess couldn't have looked any more sumptuous. "You...." They both whispered at the same time. The uncomfortable silence continued on for a few more moments until Kendra sighed. She had no idea why this had occurred, but to the Abyss if she was going to let Rae make her leave so she could enjoy the spring for herself. She came here to relax in this one and that was exactly what she was going to do. Stepping across the open ground, Kendra reached the water's edge and slipped down into its warm embrace. Her green eyes closed as she savored the wonderful feeling over her soft skin. When she opened her eyes once again, she noticed Rae eyeing her suspiciously out of the corner of her eyes, but the drowess said nothing as she leaned back and lapped the water over her firm tits. Seeing the drowess keeping to herself, Kendra dipped her head below the surface before rising again. She hadn't realized how much she had missed these refreshing baths until now. "Did you follow me here?" Rae suddenly asked. Green eyes opening to look at the dark assassin, Kendra simply shook her head. "No. I was beginning to think the same of you. Obviously you were not. Still.... How did you know about this spring?" "Well... After our little altercation in the room," Rae said with a snort and scowl before shrugging dismissively, "I decided to go to the springs to get away from you. I talked with the tavern owner and he gave me directions to this one." Kendra nodded as she remained silent. The naked women stared quietly at each other once again, measuring the other up while considering what else to say if anything at all. "Why do you insist on keeping him?" Death's Mistress broke the silence with the question. "He is mortal and you immortal. He will be dead and you will continue on much long after." The succubus winced slightly at that matter-of-fact statement. It was true and couldn't be helped. It had been something she had wondered with her first lover. Now it has resurfaced with Blaze. He would grow old and eventually pass away while she continued to remain eternally young. She had pondered the ideal of simply going without any more sex and dying from the lack of energy. It would be extremely painful as it was much akin to the suffering of starvation mortals faced with their food for sustenance. The other problem was she wasn't sure if the gods and heavens above would permit her to join Richard wherever he went. It was a dire problem that constantly nagged at her. Then something occurred to her and she looked to the assassin. "And what about you as well, Rae? Drow that you are, you are still essentially an elf. Being as young as you look, you surely have many centuries of life left compared to the humans who only rarely surpass just one. Why do you want Blaze so badly then as well?" The small drow frowned before raising a slender white brow, "I asked you first, Kendra." "True," the busty demon sighed as she lapped water over her own heaving breasts, making them glisten wetly in the moonlight, "What you don't know is that I've taken many men to survive in this world. Not just hundreds, but thousands over the centuries I've existed. Every single one of them didn't care a damn bit about me. One did a long time ago but he was taken from me by a jealous whore! Now I've found this one who cares about me and not just my body. You cannot imagine what that means to someone who has dealt with such heartless bastards for ages." "I see," Rae whispered softly as she looked down into the calm water. "Such understanding is what helps the drow women despise men so much. They think only with their penises when it comes to us. Such idiocy is disgusting. Even with my late Raviv, I could tell he desired just my body above anything else. Still I cared for him. But Blaze was so different. He endured all the belittling remarks from me and other drow about his worthlessness as a surface dweller and, even worse, a man. Yet he showed respect for me but not like as is demanded for a Matron Mother or a drowess. He respected me for who I am as a person. He cared for me as a woman and not some symbolic status notch in the social system of my race." "A rarity in both our cases it seems," Kendra whispered to herself, brushing wetly hanging vanilla bangs away from her sight. Both women then met the other's eyes in shared understanding of each other now, whether they liked it or not. "I do know I may outlive him and consider my options in such a problem. But I also know that he is something special to hold onto regardless." Rae raised a slender brow and looked to her in all seriousness. "Would you die for him?" The drowess chuckled when Kendra looked taken aback by the question raised. "It isn't an easy concept for your immortals is it? Death. Even though we elves live for a long time, we too eventually must pass from this world. Take it from someone who makes it their business. From someone who has seen the light slowly fade from the eyes as the shadow of death claims them. It is easy for anyone to boast such a claim, but only true love can say such with the true understanding of such a costly price." Death's Mistress had seen the opening and struck quickly. Living was everything to her. It was why she had killed so many. To live. Would she throw such away for Richard? Would she toss immortality to the wind if it was the only option to be with him? She didn't know. Maybe time would tell. But the actual concept of her death unnerved the demoness. "Now that we both see why he is so important to us," Kendra said, changing the issue, "are we still at odds about who will end up with him?" A dark smirk crossed Rae's face before she shook her head, "Nau. I thought about those words I said to you at the inn. About making him forget you. It was a hopeless boast at best." "Oh really? And why is that?" "You weren't there that night. That night Blaze and I had the most amazing sex," she said with a sigh and sank further down into the water. Her glowing gaze looked to the heavens above in memory. "I awoke in the middle of the night. He was mumbling in his sleep and that was what roused me from slumber. I couldn't tell what he was saying, but these pointy ears did catch one thing he said many times. 'Kendra' was what he said. I knew then that you had a presence in his heart and soul I could never break through and destroy." Kendra smiled softly at this information of his unspoken feelings for her. But that smile faded as she noticed Rae's sullen expression and a lone tear roll down her cheek. The sight of such startled Kendra greatly and left her speechless. Rae? Crying? Kendra was amazed at the sudden change in the dark elf as she opened up to her. The drowess continued on with an angry hiss. "You can never know I much I hated you in that moment. How much I despised you for keeping him from me fully. Lloth curse me.. I was even foolish enough to believe I could still somehow win him away from you as I came along. Nariko was why I came along, but a small task compared to the real reason I came. But I could still see it in his eyes today when he looked at you and I knew I was doomed to fail. I could not hate you any more than I did at that moment, but I did not strike and kill you then for his sake. I am not sure if I could stand Blaze hating me as he would if I had...." The succubus looked down into the water uncomfortably. She wondered if Tyra and Nadine bore such anger towards her as well briefly, but knew such was not true. This was a problem only she and Rae had to work out. Silently she swam over to the star-gazing drowess who continued to speak, as if simply voicing her hidden thoughts to herself now. "Eilistraee was right.... She saw completely through my act and right into my heart. A drowess should never feel such in all her existence. It is just not proper. Let alone an assassin of my caliber. I should be able to maintain that cold calculating professionalism.... But..." she choked, "But.... Lloth help me... I love him.... The first man I have ever truly loved and I can't have him... and never hear him say the same words of love to me... all because of you!" Rae's gaze returned to her surroundings and found the gorgeous succubus right next to her and gazing into her eyes. The drowess realized what she had done in horror. Never before had she poured herself out to someone. Let alone shed tears before them. It just wasn't proper as a drowess! The assassin quickly wiped away the tears and snorted disdainfully, "Well what are you waiting for demon? Here's your chance to mock me. To rub your triumph over me in my face. Let's hear it then!" Red eyes opened in shock when Kendra didn't but planted a full sensual kiss against her own dark lips. The shock soon faded away as she melted into the lush vanilla tiers of the succubus and kissed her in response. The two dangerous women who had been at each other's throats only hours before now shared an intimate kiss together in the steamy spring. Rae soon realized why Blaze could fall for a woman with such soft lips and passionate kisses. When Kendra broke the lip locked embrace, she smiled softly to the confused looking drowess. "I understand exactly how you feel for him. Make no mistake, Rae. He loves all of us. While it is true he may love me on a different level, Blaze loves you as well. Or else he wouldn't have wanted you to come with us." Rae didn't look quite as convinced as she sighed, "But he will always be yours Kendra...." "Perhaps," the succubus smirked and winked, "But that doesn't mean I can't share. Wherever life leads us and if it even separates us, you are always welcome to come see Blaze and make love to him whenever you wish. Tyra and Nadine understand such and I don't see why you cannot be a part of this group as well." The drowess silently let Kendra's words sink in and thought about it. A drowess was not used to having to share the things she desired. She simply took it. But if she took Blaze by force, he would not think much of her after such. Rae did not think she could stand knowing her Patron hated her for what she would have done. Perhaps the best option to always be with Blaze was to simply do as Kendra said. Sighing with acceptance, an idea popped into her head. The succubus wasn't always going to have the upper hand she determined! Kendra's green eyes studied the drowess's expression and blinked when she saw those dark lips begin to smirk. The assassin suddenly seized the back of her head and crushed her dark lips to her full vanilla ones hungrily. Kendra blinked wide at the forwardness suddenly coming from the once indifferent drow but was soon returning the kiss with equal passion. Both formidable women swapped tongues instead of words now as they deeply kissed each other. Both their hands were busy roaming around those beautiful bodies in enticing caresses. Rae broke the kiss with a pleased hiss before she shoved Kendra back against the hot spring's bank with a growl, "Let me at those beautiful tits!" The succubus gasped and then cooed in pleasure as dark hands seized those round melons roughly and squeezed them. She arched her back into those hands to better present the drowess her perfect rack. The demoness was soon moaning nonstop as her tits were worked over expertly, pale bright nipples hard and rolled about between the dark fingers of her assailant. The assassin couldn't help but grope those tits with a burning hunger. They were soft yet firm. So big and round, perfectly capped by pale nipples. Rae had never seen a more beautiful pair of breasts other than her own in her long life. The soft brown skin called to her and she just had to taste. She heard Kendra groan her name loudly as she hungrily sucked one hard bud into her mouth. The drowess roughly tugged and nipped at her lover's tit-capping sensitive extension until Kendra was soon screaming passionately. Her red eyes glanced up evilly to see a flushed succubus looking back. "My turn," the demoness gasped. Death's Mistress gave a startled cry at the strength the succubus possessed as she lifted her away and pushed her back. Kendra was right as the drowess was soon taking her turn to moan. Kendra's tongue was lavishing her firm obsidian orbs with hot wet caresses that nearly drove the drowess insane. Lloth curse her, why did her breasts have to be so damn sensitive? She hissed loudly as that tongue teased and circled about her areola before taken the hard purple nipple into her mouth. Rae screamed heatedly as the suction made her cunt wet and burn with desire. Kendra's free hand was kneading her free breast like no one ever had and only a woman knew how. Rae put her hands frantically against Kendra's shoulders and gave a light shove. When the succubus didn't let go, she forcefully shoved her off and gasped heavily. Kendra smirked and moved up so they could kiss each other deeply again. The assassin knew what she wanted desperately now. Still kissing her female lover, she drew her out of the waters and shoved her on her back atop the soft grass. By Lloth's webs, she had to taste this beauty! Kendra blinked as she was shoved back before the black skinned elf was all over her brown body. Her green eyes widened when she felt fingers part the lips of her pussy and a hot wet tongue flick across her sensitive clit. She couldn't help but moan as her pussy grew wetter with arousal as the drowess stimulated the precious nub. Not one to be left out on the action, she took up the offensive and moved Rae around so that her beautiful obsidian ass was above her. Rae's red eyes opened wide when she felt Kendra's own tongue probing the dark wet folds of her cunt. With a hiss of pleasure, she rubbed the demoness's clit with her fingers as she delved deeply into Kendra's own twat. Both incredibly hot women were soon giving muffled moans as they orally pleasured each other and built towards the reward of explosive climax! Rae was the first to cave in when Kendra inserted two fingers to caress that special spot inside her pussy while she tongued the dark star of her ass. "Oh! You fucking bitch!" Rae laughed and then screamed in orgasm. The black elf quaked and rewarded the succubus with a flood of white cream. Kendra drank greedily as her face became wet quickly. She was soon following Rae as the drowess drove two fingers into her. One for her cunt and the other her ass before rapidly thrusting in and out while sucking fiercely on her clit. Kendra groaned sensually as her cum rushed from her to the eager drowess's mouth. Moaning and shaking in orgasm, both women drank in the other's essence with relish. Finally they both came back down from the heights of ecstasy. Rae moved off of Kendra, licking her lips. Kendra looked back to her as she cravingly sucked the juices off her cum-coated fingers. The drowess hissed and reached for her robe, pulling out a long object that looked to have two cockheads on each end. "Why do you have one of those?" Kendra smirked knowingly. Rae snorted softly and gave her lover an evil grin, "Some missions can be longer than expected. So when I didn't have my Patron nearby, I had my dear friend here to keep my pussy company." Kendra didn't say another word and simply spread her legs open wide invitingly with a sensual smile that set the drowess burning with sexual hunger once again. She crawled between the succubus's legs and slowly pushed the black dildo deeply into her cunt. Kendra groaned softly and leaned her head back as it entered into her hot depths. Rae sat back with a pleased expression. The gorgeous demon sat there with her 'dick' sticking out her. Quickly whipping her hips around, Rae hissed as she lowered her dark pussy onto the toy until only a short span was visible between the two linked women. Each gazed into the other's eyes lovingly before they began to roll their hips in unison. Cries of passion soon filled the forest. Kendra's large breasts heaved up and down as they glistened wetly. Rae's own firm black tits bobbed in same time. Both women threw their heads back and screamed as they fucked each other through the toy. Both now had their hips raised in the air as the butt naked babes humped their hips to the other more frantically. Such a pace was one they couldn't keep up forever, even though they wished they could at that moment. Blazing Glory Ch. 06 "FUCK YES!!! I'M GOING TO CUM YOU DARK WONDERUL BITCH!!!" Kendra screamed. Rae hissed heatedly, "XASSSSS! XAS XAS XAS! VITH USSA! VITH USSA MEDOSE DOS ELG'CARESS!!!" Both wailed at the top of their lungs, bodies shaking and breasts bouncing as they went over the edge together and coated the entire dildo wetly with their juices combined. They collapsed onto their backs and breathed heavily as they recovered, staring up to the stars. When each was fine, they sat up and embraced each other and shared another lustful kiss. Both former adversaries released the other's supple lips and then shared wicked smiles. Things were going to work out well after all... ******************** Nadine sniffed and wiped tears from her eyes. She had searched all night through the canyon for Blaze. Now, not only was the sun up but it was almost midday! And she had only been able to cover the beginning of the canyon so far. What had initially looked to be hopeless was now looking impossible. But she couldn't give up! Nothing was impossible! And nothing was impossible when it came to Blaze. Her Blaze.... Choking back a fearful sob as images of his corpse laying in a cave half eaten or being subjected to all kinds of magical tests entered her mind once again. Such thoughts had tormented the lycan all night. With an angry hiss, she shoved the mental images aside as she thought the matter over. She remembered seeing the small shadow appear against the backlight of the moon. Dismissal soon grew to apprehension as she watched it grow more and more massive until the fear of it coming had frozen her breathe in her lungs. But why? Why else would the dragon kidnap Blaze but with something malicious in mind? If it had wanted Blaze simply dead, it could have killed him, Tyra and herself easily in that moment. That dragon had something in mind for him and she had to find him before Blaze found out what. The dark furred catwoman stepped inside the darkness of a shadow to cool herself. The canyon had a nasty way of trapping the growing heat from the sun passing overhead. It would be a sunbathing paradise for any dragon. As she rested, her golden eyes scanned the rocky walls and pockets of caves and crevasses as far as she could see. Her ears perked and eyes blinked as she though she heard a distant sound. Then the air came alive in a resounding explosion that sent her scurrying back against a tree and covering her ears. Whimpering, the catwoman looked down to herself. She gave a short meow in surprise that she was still there and alive. Cautiously stepping back out onto the path, she saw that nothing had changed with the canyon. No rockslides or caved-in mountainsides. Then what had the explosion been from? "NOOOOO!!" Her ears perked at the panicked scream that was distinctively feminine. The catwoman couldn't ignore such a cry for help and scrambled up the path towards where the scream came from. Loping along with catlike grace, she reached the spot in less than a few minutes. The sight that greeted her in open terrace brought her to a skidding halt. "C'mere luvvy an' let me kill ye!" The deep booming voice came from a massive giant that stood easily twenty feet tall. He was obviously very much human in looks with dirty blond hair and beard. The obviously filthy giant was wearing only a loin cloth and wielding a massive wooden club. Across from him came such a dangerous hiss that her fur stood on end and made her almost bolt in fear. A dragon with blue scales huddled against the cliff, head swinging about in search of an escape. Clearly the dragon was young still as it was much smaller than the giant before it. Still, the dragon would tower above Nadine herself. "Dun be like thut deary. I just wanna bludgin' ya with me club here," laughed the massive humanoid. "It'll only hurt for a few bloody moments. 'Ave to cave in ye noggin and all is dun." "Stay back! I'm warning you!" cried the dragon, with the feminine voice to Nadine's surprise. "Ah really now? An' how's ye in a position to stop me, eh?" The blonde giant roared in laughter again. "Ye just missed me with ya little trick. I dun and gone busted ya wing there already. Ye can't do shit to stop me!" Blinking as she listened, Nadine looked to see one of the dragon's wings hung limply sure enough. The bigger giant was right. He had the advantage. Nadine looked and saw the dragon cowering fearfully with the same realization. Taking the situation in, Nadine wasn't sure what to do. A dragon had taken Blaze after all. Why should she help one of them? Images flashed into her mind as she remembered. Iron bars cold and harsh. Pain! Such terrible pain as objects struck her as she lay helpless. She looked up to see a rock heading straight for her face. Then in the next moment a form stands in the way and doubles over in pain from taking the blow. "Stop this! All of you! There is no honor is hurting someone who is helpless as she is! All of you should be ashamed!" the voice yelled at them with anger, "How would you feel if you were in her position!?" Her memory blurred into that night as she gazed into Blaze's face. "Thank you for helping me today. You didn't have to but you put yourself in harms way anyway. You don't even know me," she said. On the other side of the bars, Blaze simply shrugged as he leaned against the cage, "As I said before, what they were doing wasn't right. I wasn't going to stand for it and let it pass." He always spoke of doing what was right in a world where so many did not. To act with honor and kindness. This dragon needed her like she had needed Blaze. Her fur stood on end as a low hiss escaped from her. She looked at the giant tormenting the dragon, just like she had been mocked and tortured. This wasn't right and she wasn't going to stand for it either! There was a sharp click in the air as her claws sprung free instantly. Taking in the giant, she knew this was going to require more sharpness. Another click sounded as the claws on her feet appeared as well. Lowering herself to all fours, she hissed before taking off in a cloud of dust behind her. Meowing threateningly, she reached the massive man quickly just as he turned to see what the ruckus was about. "Ah look! A cute' kitty! 'Ere kitty kitty! Come ta papAAAHH!!" the giant screamed after the catwoman leapt into the air and latched onto his bare leg with every single claw she had. His howls further increased while the female dragon watched in shock as the lycan clawed her way around that tree trunk of a leg. Great gashes in his flesh were soon visible and bleeding profusely as he continued to howl in pain. No matter how hard he tried to reach and grab her, the catwoman was always one step ahead as she hopped from one leg to another. Nadine hissed in pleasure as she had his legs in bloody tatters. It serves him right! Looking up, those golden eyes spot a prize she could not ignore. With a feral grin, she climbed rapidly. "Ye bloody furry bitch! Get off! Nuh! Get outta from unda thur!" the giant yelled before the mountains echoed his booming scream as Nadine sank fangs and claws into his free swinging balls! The catwoman swung back and forth on the pendulous nuts as her claws and fangs sank more deeply. The giant's voice went soprano! "Miss Kitty, would you be so kind as to let go right at this moment?" Hearing the dragon's voice, the lycan dropped out from beneath the loincloth and landed neatly on her feet. Looking up at the sounding of a grunt, she looked in time to witness the dragon heave the dropped club with her claws. "You dropped THIS!" The giant himself now looked up in time to receive his own club into his own face. The impact above Nadine made her wince before she rolled away. The giant cried out in pain as several yellow teeth were sent flying from his mouth as his nose bent horribly from breaking. The blow sent the massive humanoid sprawling backwards and tumbling down the hill. Both catwoman and dragoness watched him rise and stumble away in defeat until he was out of sight. Nadine shivered as the realization of what she had just done settled in. She had attacked a full-grown giant head on and could have easily been squished like a bug. Feeling something nuzzle the back of her neck, the catwoman yelped in surprise and whipped around to look face to face with the dragon. "Thank you, 'Ms. Kitty' or do I have the honor to know the real name of my rescuer?" the dragoness said with a chuckle. Nadine could understand Blaze's awe in such creatures as she finally could see the dragon and appreciate her. In all her knowledge of them, she had never laid eyes on one before. Her scales shined brilliantly in the sun, her eyes such beautiful orbs of blue holding intelligence and kindness. Her voice was soft, not hissing in any manner like she would have thought. "N-Nadine... Nadine Teigra," she stuttered shyly. The dragoness gave her a fanged grin. "A pleasure, Nadine Teigra. I am Shandra Sheehan. You came in time to help and I would like to thank you." Nadine swallowed audibly as she watched Shandra raise her head to its normal height as she eyed the lycan's body over. The lycan blinked and looked down. She yelped in surprise at the sight of her bright nipples poking out of her fur-covered breasts. The excitement of the fight and witnessing the dragon had not gone on ignored by her body. Looking up again, she could see Shandra's eyes drawn to her large furry tits and erect nipples. Abashed by what was happening, Nadine was at a loss of words to try and explain. A slow smirk grew on the dragon's face as she moved closer. Sudden fear seizing her, Nadine shut her eyes and threw up her hands in a futile effort to protect herself. She whimpered fearfully when she felt her both her hands and upper arms grabbed by just one claw. "Shhhh. Just relax, Nadine," Shandra whispered into her ear. "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm going to make sure to give you a really nice 'thank you'." Her golden eyes blinked open in surprise as she felt something long and wet slide across her heaving breasts. Looking down, she watched that forked tongue teasingly flick across her hard nipple. With a moan as the feelings of arousal slowly began to rise within her, Nadine gave into the dragon and relaxed her tense body. A low purr escaped from her as that long tongue slid down the length of her body. Shandra used her other free claw to spread the lycan's strong legs apart to allow her agile tongue to access those sweet pussy lips. "Oh gods... It's so hot.." Nadine meowed sensually as she squirmed about. That forked tongue had spread those outer lips to reveal her budding clit. It was rubbing and caressing the bud from every angle varying in control from softly to roughly. The lycan squealed and cooed in pleasure. Her legs were soon flailing about as she was lifted off the ground by her arms. "Wha.. What are you doing?" A draconic grin was all that was given to her in answer. Nadine found out soon enough as that wet red tongue penetrated her wet quim. Golden eyes bolted wide open as the agile member snaked its way deeply into her hot cunt. With a loud squealing meow she thrust her hips into that invading tongue, driving it deeper into her. It felt so hot and moved about like no cock could ever do. Moving about as it was, the tongue rubbed against her sweet spot inside and sent her into a screaming climax. Shandra chuckled beneath her as lycan cum flooded her tongue with its sweet taste. No one, not even Nadine, could have imagined her eyes could grow as wide as they did now with Shandra's tongue pushing more deeply into her now. The draconic tongue thickened with its increasing length. The result was the poor catwoman's twat being spread even further akin to like a really fat cock fucking her. Nadine felt her back pressed up against the cliff wall right before her hands and arms were released. Her hands frantically sought out and found purchase in handholds on the rock wall as she grunted with her juicy cunt sinking further down upon that thick member. "YES! YES!! HARDER! YEEESSSSS!!!!! FUCK ME WITH YOUR TONGUE HARDER!" came the screams echoing through the whole canyon. Shandra was only too happy to give the lycan woman what she wanted. Soon that long tongue was sliding in and out of that wet tunnel rapidly and wriggling about. Nadine screamed in another crushing climax, hands scrambling to keep purchase on the wall as her big furry tits heaved up and down with the wild fucking thrusts of her hips. Screaming low and huskily with such a sexy glare, Nadine's hips ground back and forth as she eagerly fucked herself into a nonstop orgasm. The dragoness purred at the steadily flow of sweet juices down her tongue into her awaiting maw. The glorious tongue-fuck continued with howling screams and shrieking meows until Nadine finally collapsed wearily against the wall. Shandra withdrew her tongue and quickly grabbed the lycan before she fell down fifteen feet to the ground. Nadine moaned softly as she was put down and slumped to sit on her beautiful firm butt. Breasts rising and falling with her heavy breathing, she purred blissfully as she took a good number of minutes to recover. All of this, the dragon took in silently with a knowing smile. "Oh wow...." Nadine cooed softly as she got up to her feet on wobbly legs. Her eyes then saw something and she gasped. "Your wing! It's still broken! You did that for me while you were in pain?" Shandra blinked at the innocent lycan who now looked both somber and guilty. Taken aback, she was quick to respond, "No, no! It aches, but the pain has long since gone. I just need to go have it set and wrapped so it can heal." The catwoman gasped as she remembered why she was here to begin with. In the chaos of the fight and bliss of climax, she'd forgotten all about Blaze. "Shandra, have you happened to see a human man around here? He's taller than me, young, and cute. He was kidnapped last night by a dragon. Obviously that dragon was not you," she added quickly. Shandra frowned and shook her head. "I haven't seen a human in the past few years, but for one of my kind to just kidnap one for no apparent reason is troubling. I know someone who may know what to do about finding him quickly." The furry woman gasped excitedly and nodded eagerly. Together, both dragon and lycan set out on the path back in the direction Nadine had come. "You know... I ought to introduce you and that tongue to a few friends of mine!" the happy voice chirped as they disappeared from view. ******************* The night simply continued to worsen as it progressed. Rising higher into the reaches of the mountains, the air grew chiller. Tyra had sighed, wishing she had more clothing than just her skimpy loincloth and top. It didn't help that her clothes were still wet and now very cold. While it took some time for her clothing to dry out, at least her skin was dry. But still her dark blue nipples on those mammoth jugs were hard in the open chill of night until she could put on the dried clothing.. The guardian had shrugged away the cold with iron hard determination. She would find Blaze. She must find Blaze! The fact that he had been taken from her right before her very eyes angered her greatly. Tyra wasn't going to lose another charge if she had anything to do about it. The fact that a powerful dragon had been the culprit still didn't change her mind from blaming this failure on herself. But she would get him back and face a dragon down to the death if need be. Dark eyes searched all about the entire night and coming morning with no sign of her charge or the blasted winged-lizard. Frustration and mounting fear began to rise steadily within her as the time continued to slip away. Wearily she leaned against the wall. The gargoyle had gone without any sleep since the night prior and this search was already taking its toll on her. She remembered what her father had always reminded her as they watched over Nervei together. You could be the strongest in the world, but without proper rest the weakest can topple you easily. "Excuse me, ma'am?" Tyra jumped at the sound of the voice and whipped around to find herself staring face to face with a dragon. Her breath caught in her throat from the shock. Improper rest could also dampen your awareness, she thought in self-admonishment. Stepping back to put some space between them, she quickly ascertained the situation. Both of them were on a wide path leading up into the mountains further. To her left the mountain rose steeply while on her right it did vice versa. Trees surrounded them and let rays of bright light of the morning sun spill through. The dragon was clearly a young blue one. Being only at eye level with her, the dragon was slightly bigger than your normal warhorse. Her tension eased quickly as well as she saw the look in those eyes. Innocence. This dragon was not here for trouble. "Are you some kind of dragon?" the dragon with a young male voice asked her. The question caught her off guard and her shoulders slumped. Putting her hand to her forehead, she shook her head in dismay. What was it with people thinking she was a dragon!? This was the second damn time. One more time and she will scream. The silent guardian shook her head in answer that she wasn't as she watched the powerful creature carefully. The young dragon's head dipped in disappointment as he looked to her, "Oh..... Okay..... I'm sorry, ma'am." Tyra couldn't help but notice how sad the young dragon looked now and felt horribly for him. Clearly something had upset him as a result from her response and she should do something to make him feel better. "No. It's okay," she said with a warm smile. "In a way you could say I am, I suppose. Wings, a tail, and blue skin kind of set me up like a dragon doesn't it? I'm sorry about making you sad. Is there anything I can do to help you? You look like you're in need." The youthful dragon nodded slightly, his gaze still down at the ground. "Uh huh.. I do need something. I was hoping you could maybe help me when I found you." "Sure. I'll do anything within my power to help you," the sexy gargoyle said. She sighed inwardly at being delayed in finding Blaze. Perhaps in return for her help, the young one can help her. "You'll do anything to help me? Really?.... You promise?" "Yes. I promise I will." The dragon's head lifted to gaze into hers shyly. His change in mood unsettled her and she wondered what was wrong. And his scales turning a deeper shade of blue before he spoke, "Will you mate with me?" She gasped and was taken aback as the blow of what he said sent her mind reeling! Mate? With HIM? A dragon!? "It's that time of year we dragons mate," he broke into hurried explanation. "This is my first time and I've been unable to find a female dragon. I really like my friend Jewel, but I found her too late. She was already mounted by some older dragon. I guess she doesn't like me anymore." His mood saddened again quickly like a sudden rainstorm moving in. Through her stunned mind, she barely registered that he must have strong feelings for this Jewel. Swallowing, she found her throat dry but worked up the nerve to step up to the youngling and pat his shoulder comfortingly. "No. I'm sure she does like you... Maybe she just wasn't able to find you," she whispered comfortingly. Dear heavens, mate with this dragon? "Perhaps she worried that you found someone else instead and just wanted it over with?" His head atop that long sinuous neck bobbed in slight agreement. The buxom guardian sighed, "Well a promise is a promise. Since we're about to get well acquainted with each other physically, we should at least introduce ourselves right? I'm Tyra Rohanna." Seeing her kind smile, the young male's mood lightened quickly and gave her a shy fanged grin in return. "I'm Kalama, Miss Tyra." Blazing Glory Ch. 06 She couldn't help but smile a bit more. The ideal of doing this was still unnerving to her, but at least Kalama was a sweet young dragon. Better to be mounted by him than some crueler and much bigger dragon, right? Taking in that self-assurance, she decided she might as well get it done with now. Grabbing her top, she quickly whipped it off over her head and threw it aside. Large blue orbs bounced slightly as dark blue nipples hardened quickly in the slightly chilly air. The chill didn't bother her thick skin so much. Besides, things were going to heat up soon enough. "What are those?" Kalama asked. The innocent youngling ogled her big tits with curious innocence. Tyra blushed as she felt like a virile slut corrupting a young, innocent virgin. "These are breasts. Many humanoid females have them," she explained matter-of-factly while still blushing. She slid her loin cloth down and off of her, standing fully nude before him. "They are mainly used for babies to suckle on for milk. Males find pleasure in their sight and feel as well too." "Can I? Ms. Tyra?" She nodded grudgingly to Kalama. She had promised to go through with this. Tyra mentally thought she should be more careful with her words after this. Soon she felt his big claws grab both her jugs. As mammoth the breasts were on the big gargoyle, they were just barely a handful for Kalama. Carefully, as if afraid he might break them in amusing virginal innocence, he felt up her tits. Tyra couldn't help but moan softly as he gently squeezed them. "They're so soft and warm," he exclaimed excitedly, "and what are these?" The guardian gasped and moaned more loudly as he gently toyed with her hard blue nipples. "N-nipples!" she gasped through low moan, "Very sensitive and nice to the female in giving pleasure." Kalama's eyes opened wide in wonder and her cheeks darkened even further. If the others ever learned of this, she would never hear the end of it! With a grimace, that train of thought immediately brought Kendra to mind. They had had an amusing all-girl chat while Blaze was off on watch. Nadine had asked Kendra how she dealt with the male virgins because she'd heard they don't last long in a fuck. "Oh it's quite simple, really," the succubus laughed with a sensual smile. "I gave them the best blowjobs of their lives and sucked the cum right out of them! After that first load blown, they'll last a bit longer in your snatch. Not too much longer, but just enough potentially for you to get enough pleasure through their first fuck!" Those words rang through her head with dismay. She would rather get this done quickly, but didn't she owe it to Kalama to make his first time special? Something memorable for him? Her dark eyes glanced down underneath him. What she saw made her almost reconsider immediately. The thick head of his organ was already poking out of its sheath in his excitement. It was so damn big! She might as well be sucking off a horse by the looks of it! Human like in appearance, the flared head was big and long. She in no doubt knew there was more to come. "Now you just stand there and don't move, Kalama," she whispered softly as she brushed his claws away from her tits. She ignored his confused expression and moved over to where she could duck beneath his body. On her hands and knees, she studied that big cockhead warily before taking it within her hands. The gargoyle could hear his gasp and body tense as her hands rubbed that sensitive head in encouragement of his arousal. Swallowing in preparation, she leaned forward and gave the head a few licks before she worked the tongue sensually all about it. Kalama gave a growling moan and quite a few gasps. She could tell he was at a loss for words at what was happening and what he was feeling. But his body knew as his cock began to steadily ease out of the sheath. With a low moan, she took the whole head into her mouth and suckled on it as it stretched her lips a bit to work around the girth. Her tongue lolled about the sensitive underside of the Kalama's cock as she gave much harder suction. "Oh.. Oh.. ma'am... Ms. Tyra.... Please don't stop.. It feels so good!" he groaned innocently. His body gave shudders from time to time as her tongue sampled the precum oozing from the head within her mouth. The pleasure ripped through the virgin so much that he quaked to the point of where she worried about him collapsing on top of her. But he held his ground and gave her something else to worry about. His cock suddenly surged out of its sheath with surprising quickness and hardened into an impressive cunt bashing battering ram. This sudden increase in length pushed the fat rod to the back of her mouth. She barely had time relax her throat muscles before it plunged deeply down. Her nostrils flared wide for air as she couldn't believe she was now deep-throating such a massive three foot long prick. It was a good thing she was a big woman, for that surge would have probably killed a normal female. With a lusty groan, the big breasted gargoyle let her throat become used to the size before she began to move back and forth on the massive dick. Her hands encircled the long length she couldn't fit in her mouth and pumped them up and down. Kalama gasp and humped his hindquarters without knowing but more instinctively. Tyra withdrew to where his cock was teased by her tongue before moving her head forward to plunge down her tight throat. Seeing his body above her quivering, Tyra knew he wouldn't be lasting much longer. Deciding to finish him quickly, she plunged him deeply into her throat as far as it would go after a deep breath. With knowing eyes and a small smile about that girth, she expertly swallowed and convulsed her throat muscles up and down that invading rod. "Ms. Tyra! Please!... Don't!.. I think I have to pee!...Stop!.. Please don't stop! Pull off! I'm going to LOSE IT!!!!" he gave in a final defeated roar. Tyra tried to pull off that long length to avoid to coming torrent. She was too late and only able to get the head out of her throat before she received an instant mouthful of virgin dragon cum! Cum splattered wetly in escaping her lips and falling down onto her tits as she pulled off. Swallowing the massive load so she could breathe, she gasped only to receive more cum into her mouth as her face, upper torso and big blue breasts were coated in jizm. By the time Kalama finally came down from his orgasmic hose-spraying cum bliss, the hot gargoyle's top half was covered in a fine sheen of spunk with rivulets running down her body. Tyra swallowed that last mouthful and doubted she would need a meal for the rest of the day. She crawled out from the pool of cum beneath Kalama and found him staring at her in wonder. She gave him a small smile and wink. "Ms. Tyra! I'm so sorry I peed all over you!" he blinked and looked at her more closely. "But I don't remember it looking like that before. Is something wrong with me?" Blinking at such blatant ignorance through innocence, she couldn't help but give a throaty laugh and shake of her head. "No Kalama. That is what you use to make baby dragons inside a female dragon. It's called sperm but many also call it cum." "Wow.... Can you show me more, teacher?" Tyra laughed as she now found herself being called a teacher. An instructor in sex-Ed in the best way she thought amusingly. There was the problem though of getting that semi-hard monster drooping underneath him fully hard again. Dark eyes blinked as she mulled it over before smiling to him. "Okay Kalama. Let me show you a visual display. Many females do this to excite and please their men. Now watch and enjoy dear," she said as she stood. Walking out in front of him, the nude guardian leaned back against a large boulder in the path. Closing her eyes, she remembered what she would often have to do all those lonely nights in Nervei. Her own claws seized her wet tits and roughly kneaded the large sensitive orbs. Tyra moaned softly as she rubbed that coating of cum all about her tits and down her taut belly. By the heavens that cum felt so nasty and yet good on her body! She could feel the heat building within her loins as her pussy began to get juicy. Her gargoyle tail slid around and rose to part the blue lips of her cunt to reveal her entrance to an entranced Kalama. With a pleased gasp and tightening grip on her hard nipples, the tip of her tail plunged into her own pussy beautifully. Tyra groaned huskily as she felt her twat quickly respond and weep with her arousal around her plunging tail. The guardian soon found herself building rapidly to her much needed climax. So lost in masturbating bliss she almost did climax before a groan alerted her to what she had forgotten. Opening her eyes, she saw Kalama transfixed by her. The scent of her arousal and pleasing herself had the desired effect. That dark blue dick was hard and ready for its first tight pussy. Tyra quickly moved over to the wide open path and got down on her hands and knees. Tucking her wings in close, she raised her tail and moved it aside in presentation to Kalama of her hot and ready cunt. She didn't care about the size of that beastly rod anymore. Sexual need had overtaken her and she needed to be fucked by a cock NOW! "Come on over here Kalama.... Put that big cock of yours in Ms. Tyra's pussy!" she growled hotly. "Come give your teacher a good fucking!" The young dragon couldn't have been a more eager student! He quickly made his way over to Tyra. He looked a bit uncertain at first. But then both instinct and memory of how Jewel was being taken helped him. Carefully moving over her, Tyra could feel the oozing head poke about her ass as he tried to mount her. Tyra didn't help him as he needed to learn to be able to do this with other dragons, no matter how quickly she wanted it inside her. But her wish was granted soon enough as he found his target. "UNGH!!!" The guardian gave a gargoyle grunt of both pain and pleasure as that flared head hit her cunt lips and pressed its way into her entrance with a loud wet pop! Tyra could do nothing but shake in pleasure and scream as Kalama thrust again. More dragon meat pushed into her deeply. She could only gasp and try to relax as her cunt was stretched and tried to accommodate the large intruder. Tyra screeched once again with another of his thrusts and pounded the packed dirt with her fists. It hurt! But it hurt so fucking good! The burning pleasure was building into an inferno as she felt Kalama reach the furthest limit inside her with his own growl. Her body simply could not take any more of his dragon erection into her. Once again she was glad she was big enough to take such an organ. Still, she would need to probably see Rae about a little healing with as much stretching Kalama was giving her twat. "Ms. Tyra! It's so hot and tight!" Kalama groaned above her. "I think... I'm going to.. What did you call it? I'm going to cum again!" "No!" she panted up to him. "Not yet! I'm getting so close. Draw back out and thrust back in over and over Kalama! Fuck me! Fuck your teacher with that glorious big cunt-tearing cock of yours!!!" Kalama nodded and did immediately as she said. Tyra shrieked in ecstasy when it bashed right back into her body. The young dragon was soon humping his hips at a frantic pace into the wonderful little hole encompassing his dick. She could only grind her teeth and growl as she was taken along for the ride. Her heavy blue tits swung back and forth quickly with the hard furious fucking she was receiving. "YEEEESSSSS! FUCK ME YOU SWEET YOUNG SON OF A BITCH!!! SO FUCKING HUGE! I CAN'T! I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! I'M CUMMING!!!!" Tyra's howl filled the entire mountains as she came hard! Unbelievably hard as her juices flooded out to slicken that battering ram. Her claws tore deeply into the path as she whipped her wild red hair about with the shaking of her head as she entered another blissful orgasm on top of the first. His first experience and her milking cunt was simply just too much to the virgin as he tossed that status over the cliff with a mighty roar and powerful stream of cum erupting into his first mate and teacher! The sweaty and cum covered gargoyle could only shudder through another, weaker orgasm as she felt his cum fill her rapidly. The pressure was too much as he filled her so and forced his cock out of her to spray her back and ass with sticky white jizz. Tyra collapsed forward and gasped for breath while recovering. Licking her lips, she looked back over her shoulder to Kalama to find him with his eyes closed and shuddering. "Oh wow..." he groaned, "That was unbelievable! I had no idea it could feel that good! Thank you! Thank you so much, Ms. Tyra!" She could only smile weakly as she slowly felt her strength returning. Slowly crawling to her knees and then raising to her feet, she looked down to find herself covered head to toe in spunk. Her muscled nude blue body glistened wetly in morning sun. Shaking her head, which flung tendrils of cum away from her, she looked to Kalama and smiled. "I'm glad you enjoyed that hot little fuck, Kalama. I know I did. Now can you help me find a friend I've lost in these mountains?" she asked. After seeing him nod eagerly, she smiled warmly. "Thank you Kalama. You're a sweet guy, just like my friend is. Let's go. But first, can you show me to the nearest spring for a quick wash?" ****************** The sound of near absolute quiet made him uncomfortable. Surely there must be more sounds than the slow steady drips of water he heard. Blaze slowly started coming to and began to recall what had happened. He had been talking with Tyra and Nadine on the rock. Something had seized him with such force and suddenness that all the wind in his lungs had left in a surprised yell before he blacked out. Remembering that, his eyes started open as he sat up quickly. He cringed and groaned as his body ached terribly. Looking down, he found the reason why. He'd been lying down on a floor of solid rock. Glancing about cautiously, he found that he was alone in a massive cave. Light poured through the large opening to his left, but the light couldn't fully penetrate the darkness deeper within. The ceiling was so far up that it was also enshrouded in darkness. Staggering up to his feet, Blaze stumbled towards the entrance. His hand found purchase on one of his sword hilts in assurance that he was still armed. He left his hand there to be ready for any surprises as he cautiously made his way to the cave entrance. Stepping out into the morning sun, he covered his eyes at the sudden brightness hurting his eyes. "Ah! Wonderful! You're finally awake," came a voice nearby. Shit! A startled Blaze staggered backwards as his eyes began to finally adjust to the light. A large shadow moved towards him as his vision finally became clear. His breath left him, even though no blow had been delivered. His knees quaked as terror filled his entire being as he stared at the massive dragon moving towards him. The fear froze him where he stood as the blue dragon moved over to look down at him, easily towering above him even had he been twice his own height. But awe filled him as well as the pure horror of his situation. "Dear Stavros have mercy upon my soul," he gasped as he waited for his untimely demise to occur then. The blue dragon blinked and lowered its head down to him. A surprisingly feminine chuckle escaped from the throat of the great wyrm. "Stavros? No.. My dear friend could not help you if he wanted to now.." Those words were spoken with a mischievous glint in the dragon's eyes as their meaning registered in his own mind. Did she just refer to Stavros as her friend? And why wasn't she tearing him into bloody pieces like so many others believed when she had instead put him inside the cave to be left alone? "Who are you?" he asked, barely able to work up the breath to utter the words. "Me? Oh well now where are my manners?!" she laughed softly, the sound rumbling through his body. "I am Drisana Sheehan. I am the Suzerain and oversee most all the dragon clans living in this region. Say nothing! I know a lot about you and your friends already, dear Blaze." Drisana rumbled with laughter when she saw his surprise in knowing his name and all about him. But how? How could she know? "What do you want with me? I assume you want something from the manner of my being brought here," he said, still cautious. Drisana blinked, "Oh.. That. I am sorry for the suddenness of it but I couldn't risk your friends attacking me before they even knew what I was about. We dragons have grown used to such from others, you must understand. But you are correct, young Blaze. I need your help as I was informed you were the best suited for the task." "Why me?" "Walk with me," Drisana said and moved into the cave, Blaze in tow. A little magical orb appeared from deep inside the cave and hovered above them to light the way as they moved deeper into the mountain. "I know it may be hard for you to believe, but we dragons are in a bit of a problem." Blaze missed a step before catching himself. He looked up to her in dismay. "You are right. That is hard to digest. You're so big and powerful." "Yes," she chuckled down to him, "but mortal nonetheless. The problem is the humans around this area. Word is spreading that we are attacking and tormenting them when it is quite the contrary. We've done nothing against the humans. But something is and the blame is being branded on us unjustly." "Why do you fear the humans though? You caught me easily enough and could just as simply lay waste to a whole city." "Perhaps," the dragoness laughed as they finally reached a tunnel in the back portion of the cave. She lowered her head slightly as they continued down the narrow corridor. "But what you do not know is that the human race nearly destroyed us hundreds of years ago. They chose to destroy what they did not understand fully and thus feared. I can already see your question, dear Blaze. 'How could they wipe out almost all dragons'? What the human race lacks in power they make up for in numbers and ingenuity. A swarm of ants can easily overwhelm even the largest and deadliest of spiders." Blaze looked down as all of this sank in. He felt ashamed of his kind at that moment. Drisana's words were true. How many angry mobs had gone after different races simply because they looked different or could do things that humans could not? Countless probably. He had witnessed one mob torturing Nadine. Why did his kind have to act with such hate for others? They nearly destroyed one of the most magnificent of races for the most stupid reasons. "How did the dragons escape eradication?" he asked when the thought occurred to him. She sighed softly as they made their way through another cave deeper inside the underground. "We were almost done for. At the time, many of us didn't wish to fight the humans for we didn't understand why we were being attacked. We acted only when self-defense was needed. But that began to fail as well as the humans got more clever and brutal in their attacks. Stavros saw this and stepped in immediately. What he had hoped could be worked out between our races was obviously not going to happen." They were both quiet for a time as he followed her. "You should have seen the terror on the humans' faces at the sight of an angry god. They quickly retreated and chose to think us having become extinct," she said with a snort. "They couldn't have been more wrong. We grew again, Blaze. Centuries have past and now we are numerous again, but the threat of humans rising up out of hate and fear is rearing its ugly head once again." "And how am I supposed to be of any significance in this?" "Stavros knows your heart, Blaze," she looked down to him as they stepped out into an opening that appeared astonishingly quick. He was going to have to put a lock on his lungs, for once again that day his breath rushed out of him. Dragons! Below him was a massive maze of canyons and mountains in the middle of the mountain range. Winged reptiles of legend flew, walked, and climbed everywhere. It was as if he had entered a city of dragons. Hundreds as far as he could see. His legs trembled before he dropped to his knees in wonder at the sight. Tears streamed down his cheeks. A childhood dream was a dream no longer. It was real life before his eyes.

Chapter 7 - Spirit Necrosis A massive cloud of dust slowly settled back down to the earth just north of the town of Lachlan in the country of Kozue. The length of those great mountains still echoed the thunderous sound from the massive explosion that drew the attention of humans, dragons, and others alike for leagues beyond its location. Standing calmly before a group of travelers, a woman stood calmly. Long blonde hair flowed down and about the large white feathery wings sprouting from her back. Clothed in red flowing robes, the attractive figure of a beautiful woman could not be hidden still. The only weaponry this woman carried was the longbow firmly clutched by her white gloved hand and the quiver of arrows strapped cleverly to her back, between her wings. Brilliant golden eyes like that of the sun looked to upon the group with more formality than any other emotion. "I am Kiora Celeste. Your presence has been requested and I will take you to have your audience with Stavros himself...." Every member of the party before the winged woman looked to her in complete disbelief after she spoke those words. It was as if she had told them that the most outrageous lie they'd ever heard in their lives. "Whoa! Wait a moment," the young warrior spoke finally as he stepped forward to address the woman. "Have an audience with a god? THE Stavros? You're kidding us, right?" Kiora looked calmly to Blaze before smiling slightly as she shook her head. "No, Blaze. I am not. I am his personal avatar and messenger. I would not jest in such a matter. Besides, you have met him once already. I was in the shadows behind him as he told you about the deaths along the coast as the old man." Blaze stood there paralyzed in shock, words not being able to come forth at this revelation. Kendra glanced to him worriedly as she began to wonder why this was all beginning to happen this way. "How do you know our target has eluded us," Rae demanded defiantly, "And if you knew where she was, why didn't you stop her? The servant of Stavros turned her gaze towards the drowess with a small frown now. "If I could have, I would. But I have been given specific instructions by Stavros, himself. As with such, I was not able to pursue the fire demon. Others of my kind have tried to stop Danika, but have failed. Many died in the process." Rae snorted disdainfully but said nothing more at the moment, seeming satisfied with those answers. Kendra couldn't believe the fire demon had managed to get away from them after they owed the thief a thorough whipping for what she'd done. Looking back to Tyra, she saw a look of dismay and guilt. A rare feeling filled the succubus at that moment. Sadness. She felt such pain for the gargoyle at having lost the weapon to Danika and getting revenge for all the other guardians killed by the fire demoness. Nadine took Tyra's hand within her own comfortingly, but the guardian shook her head and whispered back to catwoman that it was okay. They would get it back eventually and she had her new charge in Blaze to watch over now. Kendra gave an assuring smile to Tyra and nodded in agreement, but knew by the look in Tyra's eyes that the guardian was finding it difficult to convince herself it was okay. "Come," Kiora interrupted before any more conversation could be made. "We need to be going to Oren now. If you wish to ask any more questions, then do so as we travel. Time is a luxury at the moment and quickly waning away ere of the coming storm." Silently, the group grudgingly followed the winged woman around the massive crater in the path before continuing along it towards the north. Troubled thoughts moved through the entire group as they followed without another word. What could an immortal like Stavros want with them to where he wanted to meet them in person? What would he tell them? Some wondered what would happen to them as surely a succubus and drowess were not exactly welcome in the presence of one who is aligned against evil. They came upon a fork in the road by midday. Kiora didn't hesitate for a moment and took the path leading right. Now they were heading northeast towards the massive mountains which were becoming enshrouded in clouds from a coming storm. If they hadn't noticed those mountains, the path beginning to rise at a slow incline was enough to bring one's thoughts to such a conclusion. Blaze had been silent all this time as he mulled over the mind-boggling events soon to occur. He couldn't remain silent any longer, though, as his curiosity was just too great. "What is this Oren? How come I've never heard of it?" he asked Kiora. The avatar looked back to him with a calm expression, "Oren is the home of all my people and to our god, Stavros. He resides in his temple near the capitol city. Oren isn't known to many races because of how far away it is on the other side of the Eshkol Mountains." "So.... You're an angel?" "No," she said with a wry grin. "Who are your people then?" "I am a volarian of the volaris race," she stated simply. "Some that know of us refer to us as avians. They come by that name because of the majority of the volaris race being winged like all birds. Like there are different races of your race, Blaze, so there is in mine. I am of the dove lineage and proud family line of personal service to Stavros." A fascinated young warrior couldn't help but grin in excitement as all this information was absorbed. Kendra smiled softly as she saw this while walking by his side. Hours passed with short periods of rest that became more frequent the high they began to climb high into the mountains. When they began to move through a mountain pass, another thought came to his mind. "Kiora?" "Yes, Blaze?" she said looking over her shoulder to him at that moment. Snow began to fall then as little beautiful myriads of white crystals. The sight of Kiora with the snow falling about was an enchanting sight that made him pause as the words came to his tongue. "How did you do what you did to those giants earlier today?" he asked finally. A small grin crossed those lips as she looked to him. "I'm of an elite class in my race, Blaze. My people refer to me as an 'arcane archer'. "Arcane archer?" "It's complicated, but the easiest way to explain is that I take my arrows and cast spells through them when I shoot them," she said with a knowing smile before turning her gaze back to the path. Blaze now finally understood why that arrow Kiora had sent flying at the giants had been glowing. He was seeing magic in a way he never thought could be used before. If magic could be used on arrows, what else could it be cast upon? Magic was so mysterious and amazing all at the same time. Another few hours passed as the daylight began to get dimmer and snow fell in ever-increasing amounts. Dark shadows in large scale were being cast by the pillars of rock and canyons they traversed. Kendra began to think of suggesting they set up camp after a long day's trip and trudge through the deepening snow in the pass. Then they came upon a small shack nestled under the lip of rock and sheltered from most any weather. Kiora made for the structure directly and opened the door. They all came to a halt behind her as the volarian reached inside. Much to Blaze's delight, she drew out multiple heavy cloaks that were thick for harsh wintry weather. "We are now on the border of Oren," she said as she looked to all of them. "We still have a ways to go and the weather will get much colder from this point on. We put this here for travelers wishing to come to Oren and prevent them a bitterly cold death." "Yeah! I think Kendra needs one quickly or else she's going to poke someone's eye out!" Nadine said in a fit of giggles. Kendra blinked and looked down to herself. The cold hadn't bothered the demoness from the Abyss, but clearly her body still responded like any other mortal's would. Her hard nipples pressed firmly against the leather encasing her heavy breasts and stood out to any observant person. Kendra looked to Nadine and smirked. "Speak for yourself, kitten. You look like you'd win any jousting contest with those baby-feeders," the succubus chuckled sensually. The catwoman looked down to find her own red nipples standing out from her fur. She yelped in dismay and quickly covered her furry tits with her arms. Blaze was still trying to prevent a nosebleed from the hot nipple-capped boobs from three of the four women. The last thing he needed was a blood sickle dangling from his nose! Kiora handed out the cloaks to himself, Kendra, Tyra, and Nadine. Rae declined as she was enshrouded in her own piwafwi. The company soon set up camp within the shelter there. They ate, talked and rested as they waited out the storm as it went on through the darkness of the cold night. ******************** The journey lasted almost three full days from that point. The snowstorm lasted well through the night. When they awoke, they found the path hard to find under the deeply packed snow. They would have likely turned back from such a suicidal journey if not for Kiora. The volarian assured them that she knew the path by heart with such confidence that they were all convinced shortly after she finished speaking. Following the winged beauty, they embarked through days of harsh cold weather. When the brief snowstorms weren't ripping through them, the skies were blue. But the weather was not fair with powerful winds of such cold that it cut through any exposed skin to the bone. They were thankful for the cloaks that had been provided quickly. The protection kept them bundled in warmth and their faces wrapped from the blistering winds. Thankfully, heavy winter boots were also stored in the shack to protect their feet, even a size for Tyra's. Blaze often worried about the one member of their party that had refused all of the equipment. Glancing back to Rae, all he could see was those glowing red eyes within the shroud of darkness. The eyes of Death's Mistress looked ahead with surety and such iciness that no wind could match. He often shivered at the sight. Apparently such cold was nothing to Rae compared to the frigid caress of Death she was so familiar with. Yet his worries were comforted when her gaze turned to him when he was looking and those red eyes warmed. One time, he even got a wink from the drowess. She was still such a mystery in many ways, but he was still glad she was along. Kiora was yet another mystery, but to all of them. She was friendly to them sure enough. But in quiet, formal manner. She never let on about her own past and feelings. The volarian only answered questions about her people, their culture, and their long history with Stavros. Apparently the Volaris race put every other race to shame when it came to the love and worship of Stavros. Their people loved him so much that they often did not think of him as a powerful deity, but thought of him as family. Many even referred to him as father. Such love and support had not gone unnoticed by him and Stavros chose to remain close by those he knew held him dear in their hearts. Through the centuries they had devoted a peaceful existence while honing warrior skills to protect him from any threat. The most elite were those Kiora's class. Kiora tried to describe what her culture and city was like, but it was hard to understand as they listened to her. The Volaris never received very many visitors from other races other than the dragons because of their isolated location within the mountains. So there was almost nothing known about this race that remained to itself from the rest of the known world. It was shortly after midday when they came out of one of the passes to reach a cliff face. The mountains dropped away sharply into a broad plain that reached out to an ocean on the distant horizon. A city as massive as the capitol he had seen in Shoushan sprawled out beneath them at the foot of the mountain. But what made them all stare in wonder was the temple. Just north was a temple complex bigger than the city itself. Nestled up against the mountains, it rose like a massive fortress to almost their own great height where they stood. Yet it wasn't a fortress as no wall encased its perimeter for defense. It was open to all as if in welcome. When Kiora had mentioned they had built and continuously improved upon the home for Stavros, they could see this process must have taken easily a good number of centuries. A narrow path zigzagged its way back and forth down the mountain they were on before leading straight into the city below. Blaze swore the trip down the steep incline was murder on his legs and knees, but thankful at the same time that the air about them warmed gradually the lower they went. Soon enough, they reached a conveniently placed shack to store their cloaks and boots before proceeding on. By mid-afternoon, they had finally reached the base of the mountain and stood before the city gates. Kiora looked relieved as they reached their destination finally. She turned around to them and smiled. "Welcome to Sanjay, capitol of the Volaris people and my home. Everyone is welcome as they normally are. There is no need to hide appearances. So you won't need your dress Nadine." A surprised yelp was let out behind them that caused them to look and see a bewildered catwoman having just started to lower her pack. How did she know about Nadine's dress? After her bewilderment, Nadine brightened at being accepted in just her fur for once in a populated area. Yet Kiora didn't elaborate as to how she knew such. Blaze noticed Rae and Kendra not looking so sure of Kiora's promise of her people's accepting nature. "Do not worry, Rae," the avatar said, noticing as well. "Even races known to be evil are welcome as long as they do not try to start trouble. Even succubae such as you are welcome, Kendra Tansanee." Kendra's beautiful emeralds widened in astonishment. In all the time they had been in Lachlan, she had not revealed her nature through her wings. She had been about to relax such restraint as they left, but then Kiora showed up. The demoness refrained from showing her true form before an avatar of good who was interested in getting Blaze to Stavros safely. A drowess may be acceptable, but certainly not a demon. In all that time she had remained concealed, this winged warrior had known? How? As Rae slowly lowered her hood to reveal her dark Elvin beauty, Kendra relaxed cautiously as her back and head wings lifted into view. Kiora nodded in approval before turning about and leading them into the city. The architecture blew Blaze's mind as he looked about. If he hadn't known better, he swore it would have been a bird's paradise. Overhangs extended above them in platforms to fly from and land upon. Round extensions protruded like rods from the buildings for them to perch upon. Arches adorned many of the buildings and in large structures. But even more unique and amazing were its people. For every avian creature in the existence of the entire world, there was a volarian with its wings. He saw colorful wings like that of parrots he saw in traveling road shows in Quinlan. Others had the impressive wings of the well-known birds-of-prey like the hawk and falcon. But they weren't just limited to birds. A dark woman with streaming black hair strode past them with the dark wings of a bat upon her back. The bat-winged woman gave Kendra's similar wings a look before giving the succubus an inviting smile. Two children laughed over their heads as they played in the air. They sped about with incredible speed as the boy with dragonfly wings buzzed after the soaring girl with wings of a hummingbird. Volarians of all kinds were everywhere. They were walking, flying, perching, hovering and going about their business. Blaze and his friends drew plenty of curious glances, but nothing more or threatening. It was drawing close to early evening when Kiora led them up to an inn. It might have been an inn, but in Blaze's eyes it was a palace!!! "This is a best inn in the entire city," Kiora said simply as she turned to them. "I've already reserved two of the best suites it has for you. Feel free to tour the city tonight. There are plenty of shops and places to dine. I will meet you at the gate we entered tomorrow by mid-morning to take you to the temple." With that the avatar left them on their own. Blaze was about right in his assumption. Marble flooring and pillars with fountains of sparkling water adorned the inside as soon they entered. The rooms were the most lavish he had ever seen in his life. Even Kendra looked impressed by the place. A whole family could live in these 'suites' as Kiora had called them. A kitchen area for cooking with both dining and living quarters. The bedrooms were decorated with beds so massive that four of them could have slept on one comfortably. Once their packs and supplies were placed and secured within their rooms, they all met out in the hallway. This strange entourage, with a giggly excited catwoman included, the likes Sanjay had never seen set out to explore. They found a sprawling city bustling with a populace going about its everyday life. Blaze enjoyed observing the sights and was even surprised that there was a large forest in the middle of this city as they referred to a 'park', whatever that meant. Kendra seemed fascinated with the structures of all the buildings and homes. She confided to him that she hadn't seen such beautiful architecture in ages. The bubbly catwoman was in wide-eyed wonder as she observed everything. Blaze was amazed that through it all she hadn't missed smiling and waving in greeting to everyone she met. He began to think the whole city would know the cheery lycan by the end of the day at her current rate! Rae kept silent and observed from afar. Although she seemed genuinely interested in watching a few of the volarians battling together in training as they passed various guard stations. "Wow... " Blaze heard Tyra whisper as they began to head back towards the inn. They all stopped to see Tyra gazing longingly through a window of a shop. When they stepped up behind her to look in, they saw it was full of various weapons and armor. What had caught the guardian's eyes was a set on display. An impressive breastplate designed for a female warrior and pauldrons for each shoulder. They were the rich color of gold. The female gargoyle then looked down at herself and the torn rags she wore before sighing. That sigh turned into a surprised yelp when a grinning Nadine and Kendra snatched the unsuspecting dreamer. "What? Wait! What are you doing?" she protested. Kendra laughed sensually, "Come on, girlfriend. It's time to get you something you obviously want and will be nice to wear!" "No! I can't ask you all to do that! Blaze! Please help!" The young male scratched his head uncertainly before he got a look from Kendra that decided it for him. She winked before the poor gargoyle was dragged inside. Clearly this was something for females only. Women! What a mystery! Looking back over his shoulder, he discovered Rae missing. Forget mystery. Unfathomable was more like it! Blazing Glory Ch. 07 Inside the shop, a small peacock-winged volarian shopkeeper stood behind the desk to welcome them. "Good evening ladies! How may I help you?" "Our dear friend here has become quite taken with an item you have on display in your window over there," Kendra said with a knowing smirk. "Ah yes! You must mean the breastplate and pauldron combination. One of our finest armors we have. Unlike the usual armor, it is made of a special alloy from different metals blended together. The forging process by our smiths is long and hard. But the end result is one of the toughest armors in the known world!" "Any special properties to it," Nadine chimed, giggling at the fidgeting Tyra who still tried to tell them they didn't need to do this. "Actually there is. During the process, a unique occurrence happens in the metal mixing that renders the armor very heat resistant. It won't become hot but stay fairly cool when heated or placed over a fire. That is what makes it so difficult to forge near the end of the process. Thus how expensive it is." "How much then?" Kendra asked. "Five hundred Stavren, or in foreign currency... hrmmm.. Let me see....Ah yes! That would be five thousand gold coins." Even Nadine's eyes nearly popped out of her skull at that price! But with one finger placed over Tyra's lips to stifle the new wave of protests, Kendra smirked. "Done then." This time it was the shopkeeper's turn to have his eyes nearly evacuate his skull as he watched Kendra fish a single diamond out of her pocket. She flipped the man the valuable gem and he juggled it like it was a precious egg he feared to damage. It was obviously worth much more than his stated price. The sexy succubus winked with a curve of those vanilla lips, "Keep the change....." Taking the armor back into a dressing room with them, they helped strap on the breastplate to Tyra after she'd removed her top. Fortunately the design was for a woman with a big rack like Tyra had and her large breasts fit comfortably inside. Although, since she was so tall, it didn't fully cover a lot of her torso and left her midriff bare. But Nadine and Kendra insisted it was a damn sexy look! "Kendra! Where did you get something that valuable?" Tyra asked in dismay. Kendra looked up to the bigger woman and gave her a wickedly sexy smile as she and Nadine helped put on the pauldrons. "I had a lot of wealthy fans who loved my dancing over the years. Let's just say that is only the tip of the iceberg to what I have in various places." There was a small knock on the door that drew all of their attention curiously. When asked, they found it was Rae having returned. Stepping inside the cramping quarters, the drowess smirked and held up a black skirt made of smooth material much like her piwafwi. There was a slit in it to provide room for her legs to walk and move about quickly in combat. When they had it on her form, the gargoyle was soon blushing as the women gossiped over her and how sexy and beautiful she looked with it. Tyra even received a praising compliment from the owner as they moved to the door to leave. When everyone stepped outside into the fading light of dusk, they found their favorite young man sitting outside waiting patiently for them. "Wow..." Blaze echoed Tyra from earlier as he gawked over her new look. The gargoyle was blushing even more now. Standing and moving over to them, he nervously handed Tyra a bag with something inside. "Just a little something I thought would go nicely along with that armor you liked." Tyra blinked and looked inside curiously as the others looked on in their own wonderings. The gargoyle gasped and brought out a solid gold ring that could be worn about the neck. Rae and Nadine gazed at it admiringly and voiced their admiration of it. Kendra glanced to him with her green eyes as he received that special smile from the succubus. Tyra put it up and around her neck before snapping the clasp shut to secure it. It was a perfect match to her newly acquired armor. Blaze barely had time to grin before he was seized in a crushing bear hug by the bigger gargoyle. "Thank you! Thank you Blaze!" Tyra cried between kisses. "You're.... welcome.... Tyra.... It.. was.... Nothing... really," he wheezed in reply. Dear Stavros! One of these days his back wouldn't be able to take this anymore and his spine would simply dissolve! By the time they had reached the inn, it was dark and they were all ready for a rest. Although the gifts had made her happy, Kendra could easily tell something was still bothering the guardian. All of them were soon heading for bed. "Tyra," Kendra spoke up suddenly within the group. They all drew to a halt in front of their rooms and looked to her, especially Tyra. "If you all don't mind, I'd like to have a private word alone with Tyra in one of the rooms." They all shared confused looks with each other, but nodded in compliance. When Blaze, Rae, and Nadine entered the room on the left, there was an uncomfortable silence between the succubus and gargoyle. The demon ushered Tyra inside and closed the door behind her with an audible click. Tyra moved over to sit down on the bed and looked to Kendra expectantly. "Okay Tyra," The demoness said as she turned around and folded her arms beneath those round leather-encased breasts, "What's bothering you? No.. I don't want to hear you deny it, Tyra. Something is eating at you and I want to know what." Tyra sighed in defeat as her gaze fell to the floor. She remained quiet for a time as she searched for the words. A tear came to her eye in which she quickly wiped away. Kendra, in the meantime, had moved to sit beside her on the bed, slipping an arm about her waist comfortingly. "I failed, Kendra," Tyra finally confessed both in anguish and in anger, "I failed to get the weapon back. I failed to avenge the deaths of my fellow guardians by getting my claws on Danika!" Kendra ran her hand up and down Tyra's back reassuringly, "We tried to catch her, Tyra. You did your best, including with us coming along to help." "I know and nothing can be done about it now," Tyra sighed, "It was a growing feeling within me every moment longer the pursuit took. When Kiora came, she confirmed what I had long since painfully concluded." "Hey," Kendra whispered as she brushed the tears from Tyra's cheeks now, "You can't win them all, Tyra. Don't you worry though. I have a feeling that you'll have your chance to get it back and avenge your comrades." "I hope so. But I've become Blaze's guardian now. I don't even want to dare think about failing in that." Kendra sighed and looked down to study the floor herself. It wasn't a comfortable line of thought for her either. Deep down, she was in constant fear for him because of the way trouble seemed to keep finding them. She was never sure if the others had felt the same way with Blaze, but Tyra had just confirmed that she at least feared such as well. "Tyra, just don't think about it as much," Kendra said finally, drawing a surprised look from the guardian. "Blaze is a grown man and a capable fighter. The truth remains that we're not always going to be there alongside him. Whatever happens, happens. Whether we like it or not, that is just the way things are sometimes." The gargoyle nodded as her mood improved and gave the demoness a kind smile. Kendra smiled in returned and leaned in to surprise her blue friend with a deep kiss on the lips. Tyra's eyes bolted wide open in alarm but soon relaxed. No man or woman could resist the supple lips of a sensual succubus for long. Sure enough as the saying goes, Tyra melted into her friend's arms. "I told you I intended to have a taste of you myself, remember?" the demon purred sexily. Tyra grinned and nodded that she remembered that night before leaning in to kiss the succubus passionately on the lips with desire. Her hands worked feverishly to push Kendra's leather jacket off of her. With Kendra's help, it was soon laying on the floor. Her fingers already working on the laces to the succubus's top as their tongues mingled hotly in the lustful kiss. With the last lace undone, her top fell away with round brown breasts swinging free. The gorgeous guardian broke the tongue tying kiss and leaned back and observe Kendra's breasts for the first time up close with wonder. "Damn you have such beautiful tits...." Kendra smirked, "So I've heard." Tyra laughed and gave Kendra a reason to moan as she did with a hand seizing one firm globe in a massaging grip. She kissed that slender brown neck hotly before sliding lower to flick that free breast's pale nipple, drawing an even louder sensual moan from her friend and lover. Her bud became erect quickly with arousal much to Tyra's pleasure. The blue beauty teasingly ran one of her sharp fangs up and around that hard little bud, making Kendra gasp and moan hotly for more. For minutes following, Tyra worshipped those beautiful knockers in an new understanding of Blaze's nose-bleeding adoration of them! Switching from one tit to the other, she flicked her tongue over those sensitive nipples before taking them into her mouth to suck on hungrily. The demoness was soon fidgeting as she grew hotter with arousal with every passing second. Her breathing coming in shorter gasps of ecstasy. Vanilla nail capped hands soon found Tyra's sides. Her hands sought in frantic pursuit to become the breastplate's undoing, literally. A task she found to be more difficult than she realized to her frustration. "Maybe we should have left you with the other top," she grumbled. "At least that one was easier to take off." Both women blinked as they looked at each other before busting out with laughter. Laughter so hard their sides hurt for a few moments. Both shared a grin before they shared a loving kiss briefly. Together they were able to make short work of the straps and free Tyra of the pauldrons. Her breastplate soon followed with those heavy blue breasts bouncing in their sudden freedom. Dark blue nipples were already hard with the gargoyle's intense arousal. Kendra smirked and teased the gargoyle in a way she hadn't expected it. Her fingers lightly trailed around Tyra's areolas, circling the sensitive flesh around that nipple standing out so taut. Tyra shivered and moaned softly, closing her eyes and enjoying the soft caresses of her breasts. Those fingers would gently move closer to those nipples before sliding away, leaving Tyra to moan in frustration. "Damn tease," Tyra groaned needfully with a grin. Kendra smirked and raised an eyebrow, "Damn right I am sweetheart!" Tyra's chuckle turned to gasps when those toying fingers seized her nipples in a quick attack before beginning to twist those buds gently. With the heightened need of bent up arousal from the teasing, the guardian nearly came right then! Her eyes rolled up as she shook in rapture, but trying to hold back. The guardian withdrew quickly away from Kendra and slipped off her skirt. She scooted further back onto the bed and spread her legs open from where she sat. "You wanted a taste," she growled lustfully. "Then come and get it!" Kendra smirked and ran her tongue enticingly across her supple lips hungrily. Oh this was going to be good, she thought. Standing herself, the demoness slid her pants off slowly to give her blue lover an enchanting look of the curve of her hips and that perfect ass. Then the demoness crawled onto the bed, like a puma stalking its prey in the jungle and ready to pounce! A loud husky grown ripped through the air as Kendra trailed her tongue up those sweet blue pussy lips with relish. Her pink weapon darted in to tease the inner folds of Tyra's cunt. The busty blue beauty's juices were soon overflowing with the intense arousal as her thumb rubbed that clit. Kendra moaned as she tasted her friend and was happy to find out she tasted as wonderful as she had hoped. Tyra quivered as her left hand groped her own tit while her other hand found purchase on Kendra's head, encouraging the succubus for more. Kendra knew the anticipation and teasing already had Tyra close to reaching an explosive climax and she went for the kill! Suckling that clit into her mouth, the succubus hummed intently as she drove to fingers inside that constricting pussy. Tyra's eyes certainly rolled back into her head to where the demoness could only see the whites of her eyes and massive blue breasts swaying about as her whole body quaked. A shrieking howl of bliss tore through the room as the gargoyle came in a crushing orgasm that shook her to the soul. "OH FUCK! SUCK IT! SUCK MY CUNT! DRINK MY CUM!!! OH GOOOOODS!!!!" Tyra continued shrieking as she thrashed about. Kendra purred in satisfaction as she lapped up those sweet juices pouring out of her friend. The guardian collapsed onto her back, wings fanned out, as she recovered from the intense climax. It had taken so much out of her that she could barely manage to lift her head and see Kendra licking her cum from those pale lips. Kendra brushed those bangs away from her hungry green eyes as she looked up to the busty gargoyle. Crawling with a sensual sway and promise of things to come enough to make any partner wild with desire for her, Kendra moved over the prone woman below. Tyra blinked as she came to out of her post-orgasmic bliss to see the smooth brown lips of a female twat above her and lowering. "My turn, sweetheart," Kendra cooed coyly. Kendra laughed in delight as she felt her friend seize her hips eagerly. The gargoyle had thicker fingers than most humanoids. A fact Kendra soon found out to her delight when Tyra slid that thick member into her wet tunnel. The demoness moaned passionately as it was thick enough that it felt like she had a nice slender cock easing deeply into her hot depths. Her lover's tongue soon made her scream in sexual need as her tongue danced about her own clit. Kendra's high pitched screams continued over the next few minutes in ever increasing frequency and loudness. Her hips lewdly humped back and forth, grinding her pussy into that mouth and meaty finger. Sweat beaded and poured down her perfect brown body and large tits bobbed up and down on her chest. What happened next, the poor exotic dancer never saw coming. Tyra smirked into that pussy as she hit Kendra with a surprise that had just then formed in her mind for something to try. The hot woman above her squealed when she felt yet another finger join its brother inside those steamy depths. Kendra was just coming down from the feeling of those two fingers, akin to having an extremely thick cock inside her, when she felt something poke her ass. Looking back in dismay, the succubus witnessed that pointed, agile tail of Tyra's pressing to the little star of her beautiful ass. Cleverly slickened by her own pussy juices, Tyra thrust her tail forth to plunge into the tight hole of Kendra's ass. "OH! YOU BITCH! FUCK! OH DEAR GODS YESSS!!!" Kendra screamed at the top of her lungs in shock as well as euphoria! That tail only got thicker as more and more slid into her ass like a writhing snake. Kendra leaned forward to grip the headboard of the bed tightly as it felt like she was being double-penetrated by two extremely well-hung men. Sweat dripped off of her glistening body as she panted before doing the only thing she could. She rode! Up and down that demoness worked that hot ass on those make-shift cocks. She grit her teeth and rode them like the pro she was, moaning down to Tyra the entire time as she quickly burned towards what she knew would be a cataclysmic climax. "Fuck me! FUCK ME! GIVE IT TO ME TYRA! POUND MY TWAT AND ASS YOU BEAUTIFUL SLUT! DAMN IT ALL TO THE ABYSS! FUCK YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!" A shriek that nearly woke half of the inhabitants of that city block tore through the air and left many wondering if they even truthfully heard that to begin with. But Tyra knew that she had. Cum splashed her face as she drank in the succubus's orgasm greedily. Her friend shivered in multi-orgasmic rapture for a long while before finally her body finally came down. Kendra sighed sensually in a way of saying that was so damn fucking wonderful. The sweaty dancer dropped down next to Tyra as both women were tired from such an intense lesbian encounter with each other. "Don't you think we should get dressed?" Tyra whispered. "Don't want Blaze to come in on us like this do we?" Kendra chuckled and shook her head. "No. We're fine. I think Blaze is just fine with the ladies over there." The demoness was right with her claim. Next door Blaze snored softly with a drowess and catwoman sleeping comfortably in his arms on both sides. Tyra felt better now and shared a smile with her friend before they, too, drifted off to sleep together. ******************** They all awoke ahead of time the following morning. All were surprised to find a breakfast service waiting for them below in the large welcome area. Grabbing a quick bite to eat before they left, Blaze's group was soon out the door and heading towards the city entrance. It was still early enough in the morning that the streets outside the city market were not as crowded and allowed for quick travel. Kiora stood patiently where she had told them she would be. The avatar smiled a little when she saw them arrive not only on time, but early. Without a word, she waved for them to follow as she turned to walk a broad path leading to Stavros's temple. Even though the temple looked close in its massive size, they found out soon enough that such a thing could be deceiving to the eye. It took them a couple hours at least to draw within site of the beginning of the temple perimeter. All this time, they had watched the structure grow more formidable and towering as they drew closer. Blaze couldn't stop gawking as he walked. So much that Kendra rolled her eyes and had to put her hand on his shoulder to guide him along the path safely as he stared upwards in awe. The temple itself was fashioned after the gods of old. Great white columns rose to the sky in effort to try to reach the benevolent occupant above. Pantheons and coliseums dotted the different palaces and gardens that sprawled out everywhere. It was so quiet within. But it did not hold the eerie silence of Nervei, but rather a comforting feeling of peace about it. All of them felt such settle over them and ease the tension they felt. They did see occupants of the temple. Most were more volarians dressed in simple togas. They went about their business, tending the gardens and maintaining the structures within. However, a few other occupants drew their attention more as they didn't fit in. "Who is that?" Nadine asked curiously as they passed a garden, containing within a figure robed in white with his back turned to them. The figure paid no attention to them as he looked to be performing some magics with the plants of the garden. "Oh that is Solinari, son of Paladine and Majere." Kiora stated simply. When she glanced back and saw confusion on their faces, she nodded assuringly to them. "He is a deity of a land very far from our own." "And him?" Rae nodded to their left. All of them stopped to look within a pantheon to see a cloaked monk with what looked like a cone hat low over his head. Blaze blinked as he remembered seeing such hats in Shoushan. But what really amazed him how this person hovered above the ground in a seated meditation. Lightning arced from his fingers and eyes before dancing all about the building with wicked crackles. Kiora watched for a moment before continuing to walk on, dragging the curious onlookers with her reluctantly from the show of power. "Raiden. Is his part of the world, he is known as the ruler of thunder and lightning." They walked through a large garden as they drew much closer towards the largest structure that looked much like a massive castle hugging the mountainside. All four ladies stumbled to a halt when Blaze simply froze in midstep. Not hearing their steps following, Kiora turned to see what was the matter. Her gaze, along with the others, followed the stricken warrior's eyes to see a blonde beauty laughing as she nakedly frolicked in the fountain near them. Her body was so beautiful, that even Kendra felt a small twinge of envy. Blazing Glory Ch. 07 "Oh, this is another deity. She tends to like to wander about naked and always enjoys having intimate sex with other immortals and volarians wherever she finds them here," Kiora laughed softly. "Her name is Aphrodite." "Wow...." Blaze muttered numbly as he started towards the immortal vixen, nearly drooling with desire. "BLAZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" four voices screamed at once. BOOOOOOOOM!!!!! A cloud of dust rose from the massive temple high in the sky, drawing the attention of even the city dwellers further away. Kendra, Rae, Tyra, and Nadine furiously stood over Blaze with four clenched fists after having blasted him simultaneously. They all growled and stalked onwards, leaving a stunned avatar to stare at the crater with only Blaze's feet sticking out of the ground! It took her quite a few minutes to dig the dazed young man out and more than that to rouse him from whatever world they had clobbered his mind into. Helping the stumbling man to his feet, Kiora shot the four females a hot look. The avatar shook her head with a scowl, "He couldn't help it. Any male who lays eyes upon that goddess is nearly always bewitched and highly aroused with desire." Still looking a bit angry, they eventually cooled down and each kissed the still dazed warrior in apology. Blaze was alright and thankful the ground beneath had been soft enough to absorb much of the impact. He was pretty sure he'd be sore in the morning though! He couldn't blame the ladies though. One look at the goddess and any man would madly wish to be with her and only her forever. All four must have known this immediately upon sight. With Kendra stepping up beside him and slipping her arm around his possessively, the group continued into the large building. Blaze was distracted for the length of time by all the beautiful tapestries and banners that hung about the great corridors and stairwells. Even more amazing was how the floor, walls and everything else seemed almost entirely made of marble. Their boots and heels echoed throughout the halls with every footstep. It must have taken centuries of blood, sweat and tears to fashion this place. More and more he was impressed by the volarian's devotion the Stavros. Brilliant sunshine drew his eyes and mind out of its awe-induced daydream to behold the most beautiful garden yet. It extended outwards to view the great mountains towering above and the temple below them. In the middle was a fountain running with sparkling clear water from the figures of a man and a woman, an elf, a dragon and a lycan lionman. He had seen tall buildings on his journey, but none could reach as high as this work of art and stone. Gaping in awe like star struck children at the market, they stared at it and wondered what amazing thing they would see next to top this. Nadine sniffled and wiped a tear from her eye at the sight of the lionman, touched that her race was so honored among the others in Stavros's presence. Blaze had his doubts about his own race, but felt renewed hope at the sight of the majestic man and woman. If Stavros still believed in humanity, then he should as well. Kiora beckoned them to follow her towards the fountain. Their eyes finally saw what they had overlooked at first. When they realized, they couldn't believe they had looked past. The massive form of a human man sat on the lip of the fountain waiting patiently. The toga-clad man watched them come. In all their minds, they knew without a doubt that this was Stavros himself. The deity rose to his feet and towered above them as they reached him. Though formidable in size, he still smiled warmly to them as Kiora dropped to a knee. "As commanded, my lord Stavros, I have brought them to you." "That you have, Kiora! Wonderful! Thank you for bringing them so quickly," he praised before turning those bright blue eyes to them. Blaze blinked when he heard one collective sigh behind him. Looking behind, his mouth dropped open. All four women were acting like they were suddenly smitten with the immortal. Nadine made big girly eyes at Stavros while Tyra ran her hand quickly through her hair in an effort to make it look better. Even Rae averted her gaze, trying to maintain her coolness with obvious difficulty. Kendra cleared her throat and tightly gripped his arm as if in a battle to keep him in her mind and heart. His face nearly turned green with jealousy. So Stavros was a well-muscled, easy on the eyes example of male perfection! They didn't have to go all giggly and googly eyed over him! Still. He was more than impressed himself and could not believe he was now standing in the presence of the most famous and powerful immortal of these lands. "Blaze! My dear boy!" Stavros laughed loudly and clapped the young human on the shoulder. Blaze's knees nearly caved in from the force! "It's good to finally see you face to face with no need of disguises. We have important matters to discuss. I apologize to you ladies, but I need to speak with young Blaze here alone for a moment." With a bright smile so warm and reassuring from Stavros, the ladies nodded in understanding. Nadine and Tyra set off into the gardens together to explore. Rae was about to follow when she caught sight of someone who made her hesitate. Eilistraee stood a ways off with a loving smile as she looked to Rae. Death's Mistress made straight for the Dark Maiden. The goddess embraced the assassin when reached and Blaze was surprised to see that embrace returned by Rae. Kendra kissed his cheek and strode off to study the fountain. But Blaze knew in his heart that those beautiful green emeralds were fixed on him like a hawk in the corner of her eye. "I know it may seem wrong of me," Stavros said, drawing him aside to walk along a path through the flowery garden, "... to have deceived you those few times. I meant no ill intent to you and your friends. More so, I had your best interests in mind." When Blaze nodded silently in understanding, the massive deity towering over him continued, "Rough times lay ahead, young man. Darker than you can imagine they are. You may think you have a knack for drawing adventure and trouble your way, but that is nothing close to what is to come." Blaze looked down with a frown as he listened to every word carefully before shaking his head, "What will happen then? You seem to know a greater deal than I do as to what is happening." "Let's just say Koas is making trouble for us again," Stavros sighed, "And this time she wants to make it a lasting effect on the world for her to enjoy." "Why me then? I know I wanted adventure growing up, but why something this big?" Stavros remained silent as they continued on before glancing down to the wondering human, "Because that is just the way fate is. It has and always will be a mystery as to why it works the way it does. But I can tell you this, young Blaze. Keep those women close. Don't lose them or all is lost. They need you as much as you need them." Blaze nodded, already having felt such. Yet he couldn't help but also feel that Stavros wasn't telling him everything. Why was it so important that all five of them stick together? Kendra wanted him all to herself and he was sure the others wouldn't always be around. "I've also wanted to tell you to take more care from here on out. I've had Kiora watching over you from the very beginning when we first met. She was to protect you from certain death only and report back to me. But things are getting more out of hand and I can't continue to ask her to watch over you when I need her myself. So try not to get into much more trouble than you already have." Blaze nearly missed a step at this revelation. Kiora had been spying on them this entire time? No wonder she knew so much! By this point of the short conversation, the path had returned them full circle to the fountain where most of the ladies had already gathered. Their quiet conversations ended as they approached. "I'm sure that you're all aware of the Natori weapon and Danika having escaped your grasp by now," Stavros spoke to all of them, moving over to sit on the fountain once again. Eilistraee leaned against the fountain in an alluring feminine manner next to her fellow immortal. "But that is quite alright. In the greater pattern of this, there will be other losses just the same to go with the victories." "Which brings us to the very reason we are here, I suppose?" Kendra said boldly. Stavros grinned, "Rightly so, my observant dancer! It has come to my knowledge that Koas intends to start a war. A war that will encompass all of the races and throw the whole world into turmoil. That is her greatest desire. It is the very essence of her being, so you can hardly blame her. Still that does not make it right and we want her stopped." "And why can't you simply go and stop her yourself?" Rae asked, looking more towards Eilistraee. The Dark Maiden shook her head, sending waves through her long brilliant hair, "If it were an issue between gods and goddesses, we would. But Koas is working through her own personal servants. These agents are recruiting beings of evil in massive numbers that have already long hungered to destroy and rule the peaceful races. Because of the Natori Pact all immortal deities swore to, we cannot directly interfere in the mortal world. Koas found the loophole in such, and we have decided to do the same." "Us," Tyra said, shaking her head in dismay. "You expect us to rally the forces to fight the evil? Good that we are, we're not ideal recruiters. Nadine's kind isn't popular with many humans, I'm regarded a monster of evil by others, and Rae and Kendra's kind are known to be pure evil. No offense intended." "None taken," Kendra and Rae said in unison before smirking. "Point well made, Tyra," Stavros complimented. "But we're not asking you to do such a thing. We need a smaller force rather than just some massive army to butt heads with theirs. These agents are going to lead the fight and relay orders from Koas. Take them out and the forces in the army will lose confidence. If those who serve Koas directly can be killed outright, then that is seriously bad news for themselves." "Cut off the head of the snake and the rest will fall," Blaze muttered thoughtfully in amazement. "Exactly! We need all of you to do it because you are the most capable. Now let me inform you of these generals to be removed from Koas's army. The first is going to be very dangerous with her spells against you. Her name is Aurora Talasi, a foxwoman." A low dangerous meow escaped from Nadine as she heard such. Her fur stood on end as the long buried anger surged forth once again towards that hateful lycan. "The next one is important to take out as this general knows war tactics well as surprise attacks. A ninja by the name of Nariko Miakoda," Eilistraee said with a knowing look to Rae. Death's Mistress hissed, a flash through those red eyes before a wickedly evil smirk in affirmation that she was already in on this. "The other will be leading the main force and need to be stopped before tearing through the others like a knife through silk. You all know her, for she is Danika Savine," Eilistraee continued. Tyra couldn't help but laugh aloud and crack her knuckles in eagerness to get her claws on that fire demon. Stavros shrugged, "We don't know much about the fourth. Just that her name is Sonora Keeya." The massive deity blanched instantly when he saw the look appeared on Kendra's face. "I suppose some of you may know more about her than we do," he said, clearing his throat. "But I can see all of you ladies already like the idea of this task. What say you, Blaze?" Blaze was about to question the large scale of this task. His words came to a screaming halt in his throat as the looks he received from the women made him think twice! Oh shit! Recognizing their determination to see this through and remembering Stavros's words, he cleared his throat and nodded. "Where the ladies go, so shall I," he said, earning smiles from his friends. "After all, how could I let those who have become so close and dear to me go off to a battle without my help? But this is going to be a rough experience." Both deities nodded with a shared look of understanding that unnerved Blaze even further. They certainly knew more than they let on. He wasn't about to question or demand answers from such beings though! Natori vow or no, he was already dealing with one pissed goddess and he certainly didn't need any more adding him to their black list. ******************** The sun had passed its zenith by the conclusion of their meeting with the immortal gods. Blaze and his friends realized they had missed the midday meal by how famished they were feeling. Along with that they had these revelations to absorb and consider within themselves. All were ready to get some food as they silently thought over what was to come and what they would do when it they reached that point. Stavros gave each of them all a smile before telling them he would like to meet them one more time tomorrow after their resting to discuss their best route to take in this venture. With kind words of parting, Kiora appeared and led them out of the beautiful gardens. Through the temple they were led and back out towards the city. All of the women were withdrawn into themselves and such silence was unusual enough to make him uncomfortable. But no matter what conversation he tried to start, he failed and only received a few words and smiles before they drew back into their thoughts. Eventually he fell into silence himself, losing himself in the words of Stavros. He vowed in quiet determination he would do everything he could to help them. It was only right after how much they had helped him in turn. So lost in these thoughts, he hadn't noticed them entering the city until they were standing in front of the inn. He saw he wasn't the only one surprised to be there so suddenly as he looked to his companions. Slowly the group trickled into the inn after thanking Kiora for her time. Blaze was the last one standing outside. The young man had noticed a change overcome the usually cool and collected avatar. The winged arcane archer looked unsure and uncomfortable when they had reached the establishment, her gaze flickering briefly to him from time to time enough for him to notice. "Would you like a tour of my home, Blaze?" she said suddenly, breaking their mutual silence. "Your 'home'?" he asked, not exactly sure of her meaning. The valerian immediately blushed brightly and waved her hands in front of her frantically, "No! No! Oh dear Stavros.... I am sorry! I mean my home as in the city." Blaze couldn't help but laugh and nod. About to speak, they were both interrupted by the unexpected. Both heard the unmistakable sounds of an audible growl. Blaze blinked and looked down to his stomach and blushed in embarrassment for his turn. "I'd love to," he laughed again, "But first can we find something to eat?" Kiora tried to stifle her laughter by covering her mouth with her hand. She failed miserably as her laughter bubbled over. She smiled to him and nodded. The avatar lead him to her own home to fix him something to eat. She lived in a small home on the second floor in a building between a bakery and a jewelry shop. Though the inside of her home was furnished well enough, he found out that apparently Kiora liked to live simply and not go overboard on decorations. He didn't have much time to look around anyway as Kiora whipped up a quick meal of some meat and dumplings. Blaze couldn't hold back his appetite and inhaled everything on the plate settled before him in record time! All the while, Kiora watched on from where she sat next to him with a small smile. "That tasted great Kiora!" he said when finished and satiated. Ah sustenance! He smiled to her and noticed her shy blush. The avatar had grown quiet once again, seeming nervous. It wasn't befitting the woman he had come to know her as. "Kiora? Is something wrong?" he asked. This unusual break in her formality and showing of emotions had him uneasy as to what was going on. The arcane archer jumped slightly from being startled out of her own thoughts before staring at the floor in embarrassment. She was blushing a bright red now. "Blaze, I have something to confess to you." When she saw with a glimpse that she had his undivided attention she continued, "I have been watching over you as I was supposed to for most of the time. During a majority of this nothing serious happened. But such observations required of me lead me to see you in your most.... intimate moments. Between you and Kendra. Or when you were having fun with Nadine. You get the picture." Blaze was blushing a bit himself now, not having realized he had had an audience during those sexual escapades. If she said he had a cute ass, he swore he was going to die! "You have no idea how intense it was watching you. At first I wanted to leave and give you privacy, but I realized that I couldn't in case someone or something attacked you when you were so vulnerable. So, forced to watch you and the women have sex, I began to get aroused. You have no idea how many times I masturbated myself to orgasm up in the air while watching you make them scream with ecstasy. And how much I wanted it myself. Please Blaze! Take me! I want to experience what they did. I have grown fond of you over the past number of weeks and I.... I can't think of a better man to be my first!" Blaze was stunned by this sudden plea for him to take her virginity. Those bright golden eyes were filled with longing and need as she offered up her cherry to him. Kiora had finally come out and opened her heart up to him. He realized he simply couldn't dash her hopes and desires. He also knew he didn't want to. In all her cool professionalism, she had still been a kind woman to all of them. How could he say no? Kiora was about to speak again to interrupt the silence in admittance that he didn't have to do such for her when he startled her. With an arm that wrapped about her, she was suddenly drawn into his kiss that took her breath away. Blushing brightly at first, she quickly caved in and kissed him in return. Their lips parted so their tongues could mingle intimately in a loving dance. She whimpered softly into his lips, their first kiss even more wonderful than she had imagined in her dreams. Blaze blinked when she pushed him back and away. She smiled shyly to him before reaching down to pull her robes up and over her head. Beneath she wore black underwear around her waist and a black halter top covering her perky breasts. Her undergarments were soon following the robe towards the floor as she sat next to him naked. "Simply beautiful," he said in awe as he gazed over the blonde winged-beauty. "Thank you, Blaze," she whispered longingly. Blaze grunted as he stood up with a slap to his legs, determined to do this and make it a special experience for her. The arcane archer looked up to him wonderingly before yelping as he swept her up in his arms. He looked around before starting forward but stopped shortly thereafter. "Umm, where's the bedroom again?" he asked sheepishly. Kiora blinked before bubbling over with laughter again in his arms as she pointed, "That way silly!" "Right!... That way..." He chuckled and carried her towards the room and stepped inside. Just like the rest of her home, it was furnished nicely but not decorated much in its quaint simplicity. He laid her gently on the bed, her wings fanned out beneath her angelically, before removing his clothing. When he was finished, he felt her eyes drinking in what she had said she'd only witnessed from afar. His cock was hard and ready, but he wanted to make certain she was too. Kiora's breathing was becoming shorter in her growing excitement of what was finally happening. She watched him move onto the bed with her and crawl between her legs. Remembering what she had seen with his other female companions; she spread her legs invitingly to him. She gasped when the lips of her pussy were touched for the first time by someone other than herself. Feeling his fingers exploring her depths, she moaned his name as her pussy moistened with juicy excitement. She damn near leapt off the bed when she felt his warm tongue touch the entrance of her cunt and delve inside to taste her essence. Her head dropped back as she let loose with a loud keening groan. The pleasure was ten times better than her fingers! By Stavros how she had longed for and needed this! Blazing Glory Ch. 07 The young human warrior blinked when hands suddenly seized his head and shoved his face against her blossoming pussy. He obliged the unspoken plea for more by poking his tongue in and out of her heated twat like a mini-cock. His fingers found purchase on her sensitive clit and gently tugged on the bud. "Oooooh.... By Stavros..... Blaze!!!" Kiora squealed as it was too much for her cherry cunt and the pleasure of orgasm roared through her whole body like a wildfire through a forest. Blaze smiled at her bliss as he had his own pleasant experience of sampling volarian cream. The ceiling finally stopped spinning as Kiora struggled to regain her breath. She'd never cum so hard before in her life! She looked down to Blaze to see him smiling at her with his face wet with her juices. He nodded to her and whispered that she was ready. She nodded back in confirmation as he moved up and over her. She felt it poke her wet tunnel and nearly squeaked from the anticipation of what was going to finally happen. With a moan she felt her tight virginal pussy grant him entrance as he slowly entered her. It felt so damn hot and wonderful! Then it stopped and she knew why. Kiora could feel the barrier being nudged by that flared head. "You ready?" he whispered to her. She nodded and closed her eyes. Pain suddenly seized her with his gentle thrust taking her cherry. But that pain soon faded away to be replaced by something more amazing that she couldn't describe. It felt fantastic. So much so that she wept in joy. Blaze saw her tears and nearly stopped, fearing he had hurt her too much. But Kiora shook her head. "I'm.. I'm fine. Please don't stop Blaze! Fuck me now! Give it to me like I saw you do to your friends!" she cried, her arms wrapping about his neck. Blaze smiled and nodded as he slowly began to slide that hard rod in and out of her clenching tightness that threatened to overwhelm him too soon. He grit his teeth in pushing that thought out of his mind and instead focused solely on Kiora. The blonde beauty beneath him was whimpering and biting her lip as he slammed that flowing hole with an increasing pace and frequency. Kiora could soar in the sky as long as she had known to fly, but now she knew what they meant by people saying making love was like being sent to the clouds above! She moaned loudly as he pumped that hot rod in and out of her. She could feel her muscles clench at him frantically and try to milk that beautiful dick of its essence. More so, she couldn't stop coming! She wasn't a screamer like the other women of Blaze's entourage, but she squealed like a happy girl sure enough every time she came and came hard! "Please Blaze!" she pleaded. "Don't try holding back any more! Give me your cum! I want it! I need to feel it spurt inside of me!" Blaze didn't think he could have held back any more if he had wanted to. Her tight twat was just too much to withstand any longer and he caved in. With a roaring cry, the warrior slammed into the shivering winged-woman all the way to the hilt before thick jets of white cum shot hotly into her innermost depths. This time Kiora did scream wordlessly as she felt him cum and the most intense orgasm yet tore through her body. Both lovers groaned in mutual bliss until they finally came down out of the clouds of ecstasy. Blaze dropped beside her and gasped for breath as his heart rate slowed down. Kiora snuggled up close to him and kissed his cheek softly. "Thank you, Blaze... It was better than I ever could have dreamed it to be...Hopefully it won't be our last time together either." Blaze grinned to her, "Don't worry about the others. They like you well enough, especially Kendra from what I can tell. Just know that Kendra will always have my heart, but as close friends we can always be together." Kiora nodded and rested her head against his chest, filled with joy and even more determination to watch over him as much as she can to protect him. Both drifted off into sleep for a short rest in each other's arms. ******************** With the sun setting beyond the massive mountains west of the city, dusk fell earlier upon the citizens than it normally would in other places. Although it is late afternoon, light continued to grow dim and shadows lengthened quickly. And within the growing dark, volarians decided to call it a day and head inside to the comfort and warmth of their own homes. In the city colored red as blood with the setting sun, two individuals walked the quiet streets. Blaze looked to Kiora and smiled, although such quiet so early still in the day unnerved him and he had a strange feeling for some reason. "Kiora?" he asked quietly, breaking the silence. When he saw her look to him, he looked up towards the mountains. "Why did you become Stavros's personal servant if I may ask? There seem to be so many of your race that would be willing to do such, but you are the only one." The arcane archer smiled a bit sadly as they strolled further into the city, "It is because of my lineage. I can trace my bloodline so far back to my ancestors and every one of them have pledged undying loyalty and service to Stavros." "Why your family and not others though?" "No one really knows. As you know, volarians take on wings of various avian creatures in the world. Perhaps Stavros liked us because we are of the volarians that look like angels with our dove wings. Maybe it is because doves are symbolic of peace, purity, and love. All qualities that my lord holds dear." Blaze remained silent as he absorbed this in, learning a little bit more about Stavros himself as well has Kiora. "But that still leaves only you. Surely you aren't the last, Kiora?" With a rueful smile and shake of her head, she looked to him, "No. Though we aren't as numerous as we once were, the dove volarians still exist. My parents served Stavros and I was a small child at the time of their deaths. I could tell Stavros was pained beyond comprehension from the loss because they had died in serving him on a mission. When I asked him myself why there were no others but me, he told me that he couldn't bear seeing more lost. With no close relatives, he raised me with love to honor my parent's memory. He wasn't quite happy when I chose to become his avatar, but he never could resist his surrogate daughter's wishes." "I'm sorry for the loss of your parents, but at the same time I'm glad someone was there for you growing up. I know what it is like to lose a parent and miss them as your grow older. I was often envious when I watched other children play with or help their fathers," he sighed as they came to a halt by bench close to a wooded park. It was still a long ways in this massive city to the inn. Both sat down to rest their legs for a moment and enjoy the sight of the city painted in various shades of red and orange. Kiora leaned against him affectionately as they didn't speak any words, just finding friendly comfort in each other's presence. A flicker of movement caught the edge of his eye before something wet suddenly splashed the side of his face and left arm. Blaze looked down and in utter dismay saw that it was blood! It was then that he heard Kiora gasp and tumble forward from the bench. The volarian crashed into the ground before he could catch her. "Kiora! What happened?!" he cried out in shock as he moved quickly to her side. The volarian struggled to push herself to her knees, one hand clasped to her left shoulder. From what Blaze could see, she had been wounded with a wicked gash that was now bleeding heavily. Blaze quickly removed his shirt and began tearing it to shreds to use to bind her wound as his eyes searched about for the source of what did this. He didn't have to look long... "Blaze, I have come for you. My orders are to kill you and make sure you suffer greatly in the process," a feminine voice said. Both their gazes were drawn to the shadows to see a darkened figure standing there. Blaze couldn't see who this was and didn't recognize the voice as Nariko's. Moving protectively in front of Kiora, he reached for his blades. A hand firmly seized his from behind. Looking over his shoulder in shock, he saw Kiora frantically shake her head as her beautiful golden eyes were filled with fearful realization. "No Blaze! You can't win this fight! Run," she pleaded, "Forget about me and just run for it! Run for your life!" Blaze hesitated even as he heard her plea. He didn't like leaving her like this. Yet he could tell by the look in her eye that if he didn't do so, he would surely be dead soon. Seeing his hesitation, anger flashed through her eyes. "Run! NOOOW!!!!!" she screamed at him. He needed no more convincing. The shirtless warrior bounded to his feet and made a mad dash into the vast forest in the city's park. He hoped he could lose the would-be murderer within its maze of nature. Soon he heard the loud twang of a bow before the piercing shriek filled the air in alerting the city as the arrow soared into the sky. Running as fast as he could, he dashed through the woods until his breath became shortened. Gasping and leaning against a tree, he looked back behind him for signs of his pursuer. "Don't get tired already," a sultry voice whispered to his right, "This pursuit shouldn't end so quickly." Whipping his head around, he couldn't believe to see that dark figure ahead of him within the shadows of a large tree. But how!? There was no way she could have gotten ahead of him at the speed he was running! With a surge of cold-blooded fear, he realized what that strange feeling was earlier. It was dread. The sense of the impending demise he would face. Kiora was right. If he didn't get away, this dark chaser will kill him. With fear flooding through him like water from a broken dam, he surged to his right as if the hounds of the Abyss were nipping at his heels. Tree branches whipped at him mercilessly, leaving nasty welts across his bare chest. He paid the pain no mind as he bounded over fallen tree trunks and small streams. Yet he couldn't get away! Everywhere he looked, he would see glimpses of a dark female figure within the shadows. He knew his mind wasn't playing tricks on him, but how could she do what she was doing? His legs burned with the strain and his breath become hot and raspy from the physical exertion. Staggering to a halt to lean against a tree by an open clearing in the middle of the woods, sweat pouring off of him. There was just no way! No way could he get away from her, but somehow he had to. Darkness surrounded him before he knew it had happened. His weary mind and body were slow to react before a pungent order filled his nostrils. He coughed and stumbled a bit, surprised to feel his strength return as the exhaustion slipped away. But a haze fell over his mind to where he couldn't think quite clearly anymore. But he did notice the raging tent he had in his pants. Oh shit, he realized numbly. Some kind of aphrodisiac. But why? "Good," that same voice said in front of him now, though he couldn't see her let alone himself. "Now to see what the others were raving about." Alone in the darkness, but not truly alone. Panic arose within him but he could not overcome the arousal. He felt the firm tugging of fingers swiftly undoing his pants before they were yanked down. With a groan, he felt something wet and pleasant glide along his hardening shaft. He heard a pleased hum before that tantalizing tongue danced around his sensitive flared head, eliciting louder moans from him. A part of his mind still struggled valiantly struggled to regain his senses and get away, but it was like trying to lift a mountain. Completely futile. Blaze's knees nearly caved with the aphrodisiac increasing his feelings and sensitivity ten times more. His voice cried out when he felt her warm wet mouth encase his throbbing cock in one swift gulp. All thoughts of struggling any further flew out the window with the suction of that sweet cock-engulfing mouth. His hands reached down to find long soft hair as she bobbed her head up and down his erection for blissful minutes afterwards. Blaze loved it when he felt her tongue caress the sensitive underside of his cockhead with flicking movements. All the while, the unknown woman worked his hard cock like a pro with it delving deeply into her throat many times. He wouldn't have lasted this long if he hadn't had that experience with Kiora earlier, but the heightened sensations were too powerful and he exploded creamy jizm into this hot mouth! He almost cried from how damn good it felt as he heard the female swallow his loads with audible gulps. When he finished, she withdrew from it. "Mmmm, you taste as good Sonora said,' the voice said before he felt her kiss the head. "Now let's see if Aurora was right..." Blaze's knees trembled as the poor young warrior stood there with aching need, not knowing where to find his invisible lover in the pitch darkness. Hearing the rustling of clothes, it wasn't long before he felt a hand firmly tug him against a warm and quite naked female body. And what a body! His hands explored her body in the dark, soon drawn to heaving large breasts. He squeezed those ripe melon-sized tits and drew a husky moan from his unseen lover. She cried out loudly when those fingers captured taut nipples and rolled the sensitive. "I can't wait any longer," her voice groaned hoarsely with need. Blaze felt his hard cock gripped by a firm hand before soft wetness soon encased it. Both he and his shadowy lover groaned as she lowered herself further onto him with her constricting cunt. He felt her lean back into what had to have been a tree as she jumped up and wrapped her strong legs about his waist. He nearly lost his balance at having to support her quickly, but regained himself in time. "Oh FUCK!" she gasped, "Koas help me! It feels so damn good... Fuck me.... Fuck me Blaze! Screw the living shit out of me!" Always one to oblige the ladies, aphrodisiac or no, he readily complied. He contracted his muscles and sent his hips powerfully thrusting up into her. The assailant screamed in pleasure and did her best to grind her hips into his as he pumped his rod up into that tight wet twat. Blaze was nowhere near exhausted from the love making with Kiora and his run. Whatever had happened sustained his strength as he plowed that pussy so hard he could hear the tree they screwed against shake with the impact. "DEAR KOAS! I CAN'T HOLD IT!" she screamed before suddenly the darkness all about them collapsed, the forest once again visible. Blaze continued thrusting into his partner as he finally witnessed the dark grey-skinned beauty locked with him. She was one gorgeous woman! Her light grey skin shone wetly with a fine sheet of sweat that began to bead and trickle down between those bouncing jugs. Her purples eyes gaze at him in wonder and encouragement, her arms wrapping about his neck now. "Please.... Please don't stop Blaze.... Don't ever stop.... FUCK MEEEE!" she screeched as she was launched into a cataclysmic orgasm that shook her whole body violently. The young warrior's eyes nearly popped out of his head as her cunt gripped him so hard in climax that he couldn't move! Blaze held on for dear life as the dark woman shuddered through many smaller after-orgasms. But the heightened sensations through what she'd done did him in and it was simply too much. With a howl of defeat, his cock spewed loads of cum hurtling into the depths of that twat going into wonderful spasms. Her eyes opened wide as she felt it too and began thrashing about wildly in his arms, literally beating his chest with her fists as she screamed right back up to the top of the mountain of blessing orgasm. "YES! YEEEESSSS! FUCKING GIVE ME THAT CUM!!! FILL ME UP YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! FUCK YES!" Both howled and screamed together in mutual physical gratification for the next few minutes until they came back down to their senses. The woman slumped forward, he head resting against his chest as he held her. Eventually her breathing slowed to normal and she pushed away from him, dropping to her feet lightly and slipping off his cum covered dick. He stood there still transfixed by the gorgeous woman and whatever she had down to him as she slipped on her long black dress over those luscious curves. Withdrawing a small vile from a small pack, she walked over to him and waved a different pungent order beneath his nose. As if a storm with the fiercest winds had come through his mind, the haze vanished as if blown away by those very winds to give way to clarity of mind. "I wouldn't try running if I were you Blaze," she said calmly, walking back to her pack and replacing the vile within. "You should know by now there is no use in running from me. Let alone with your pants down..." Looking down and blinking, the young warrior blushed furiously before quickly drawing them back up and fastening the ties. "Who are you," he demanded. "Lexiss Makora, personal avatar of Koas herself," she said without looking to him as she closed her pack. "If you're here to kill me, then why that?" he growled angrily, nodding towards where they had wild sex against the tree. Lexiss glanced at him finally now before quietly averting her gaze away. "I wanted to know.... Know what it was that the others couldn't help but gossip about. Sonora saying you had such a beautiful body and handsome cock. Aurora claiming her experience with you being the most intense she has ever had. I wanted to see if it were all true.... And it was... You hit me in places that I could have never imagined and made me explode with such ecstasy...." "But now," she said, sounding almost sad as she stood slowly, "I have to kill you. Orders are orders, Blaze. But know that our experience together will be something I will never forget." He nervously backed a few feet away as he drew both his blades from their sheathes. Stavros help him! He was in the fight for his life alone against the highest servant of a goddess that wanted him dead. And though he was sure they were looking, help was likely nowhere close enough to him! "At least I will make it a fair fight Blaze. I removed your aroused state of mind, but your strength will remain as if having never left you to begin with," she said, turning around with a sword in sheath. Lexiss withdrew the katana as she faced him, "Come on. Let's end this." Blaze swallowed audibly as his mouth went dry. He had been in trouble before so far on this adventure. Trouble that was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. But through all those fights he had felt a certain confidence that he could win. Not this time. He didn't have the same feeling. Now instead he knew with another feeling that this was the real thing. A real life or death battle in which only one would walk away. And he wasn't sure if it would be him! Slowly the two combatants moved into the open clearing, eyeing the other cautiously as they began to circle. He studied her quickly to gauge her capabilities. That dress certainly wasn't very capable for combat and wouldn't allow quick maneuvers with her legs. It would render her namely on defense which made sense with a powerful single sword katana like she held. Still, he felt something wasn't right and to not be deceived by appearances. Taking a deep breath before readying himself, Blaze made the first move and dashed towards the dark woman. Lexiss lowered herself with that sword on guard like he had thought she would. When he reached her, Blaze swiped her right blade down low towards her legs. Already spinning, he felt that sword impact hers with a loud clang filling the air. But he was already coming around with his left sword high in a fast move that would decapitate her. CLANG! Blaze blinked in shock as he watched his left sword impact her raised katana before reached her exposed neck. She smirked at his expression before sliding her own blade down his sword towards his exposed body. He whipped his other blade up over his other just in time to trap her sword in between before he was sliced through. Blazing Glory Ch. 07 Blaze staggered back from her a few feet and began circling once again, letting that first encounter end in a draw. How could she have moved her own weapon so quickly though? Her moves had been so fast that he wouldn't expect anyone to be able to stop it. But he had made the mistake of underestimating her nonetheless. She may not be fast on her feet with that dress, but she was fast with her arms with that katana. "Come on, Blaze," she smiled. "I've heard you're better than this." He growled and sidestepped in, bringing his left sword up from below at an angle. Lexiss brought her katana down hard to halt its progress with another loud impact before twisting the blade to thrust forward in an attempt to spear him through. Her eyes blinked wide as she saw just in time his right blade slicing across horizontally towards her face. Dropping her counteract instantly, she leaned back to narrowly miss the sword cleaving her face in two. This time Lexiss staggered backwards as she struggled to regain her balance. "Nice one, Blaze. You are pretty good with those swords," she said with a smirk. "That was a close one." "Closer than you realize, Lexiss," he smirked in return. Lexiss blinked before she felt the warm trickle down her cheek. Pressing her hand to that cheek, she felt the blood and the thin cut from the sword. The avatar of Koas frowned and nodded in concession of first blood drawn. With a step inward, she surprised him by going on the offensive! The dark woman brought the sword down in an arc that forced him to bring both blades up to bear the impact in guarding. He couldn't do a thing but watch in dismay as he realized it was a feint! Lexiss brought her left elbow down low suddenly to change the angle and bring the blade down from the other direction. He struggled mightily to move back as fast as he could, but he felt the searing hot pain as it cut across his torso. Fortunately, he had been quick enough as she had to make it only a cut as a result. However, she was already on the move again and thrusting straight forward to try and spear him once more. With his blades still held high, he knew they were nowhere near close enough to deflect the attack! He did the only thing he could think of in that instant. He flipped! Arching his back hard, he bent backwards painfully. But not as painful as it could have been as that blade glided into the air above his torso. His feet left the ground an instant later and were brought up to impact her wrists hard enough to dislodge her weapon and send it spinning up into the air far away. Landing on his feet, Blaze heard the sword bury itself into a far off tree with a solid sounding thunk! Lexiss backed away, scowling now as she rubbed her wrists. He pointed his swords at her, doing his best ignore the pain from his wounded midsection. "You have no weapon now. Give up and leave!... Please Lexiss.. It's over..." With a sad nod, Lexiss looked to him with a mournful expression and her hands held up, "Yes Blaze.... You are right.... It is over now...." He was about to put his weapons away when he found out that it truly was over. The human watched in horrified shock as her fingers extended into sharp tips like thin spikes. They extended forward with lightning speed to pierce his arms and torso. Crying out in pain, his swords dropped to the ground as his heavily wounded arms could no longer support them. He dropped to his knees and shuddered in pain from the deep wounds in his torso. He heard her footsteps approaching before she kneeled down in front of the gasping warrior. She leaned in close and kissed his lips briefly before moving those dark tiers to his ear. "Forgive me," she whispered to him. Then he felt the fiery pain in him as her sharp fingers tore into his guts. Yet something more dark and sinister was done to him. The agony was beyond anything he could have imagined. And then Blaze screamed.......... ******************** In the mountainous region west of the massive mountain chain forming the wall between good and evil, there lived the only humans in this evil land. That was if you could call them humans and most of their brethren on the other side of the barrier would think them more as animals. They were barbarians with no special name they went by or recognizable symbol of any nature. They were simply a group of savages come together out of necessity to survive being wiped out by the other evil races. And they were led by one man who was more savage and intimidating than any other barbarian. Jubal Bacchus sat upon his thrown covered with animal pelts and idly finger the necklace of animal fangs he wore about his neck. He was a massive man with a barrel of a chest that he proudly left bare for the women to see and dream about touching. His hair was a shock of white that stuck out like primal spikes, making him look like a Wildman. When he stood, his head nearly touched the ceiling of his tent as he stood six feet and eight inches high. It was another quiet day, in which this warlord hated. He lived for battle and the smell of freshly spilt blood in the air. He was bored and was soon considering going out and killing a few barbarians for recreation, in which had done a few times in the past. The flap entrance to his tent was brushed aside to allow a small woman to enter. This unusual distraction was a pleasant surprise and maybe he wouldn't have to kill anyone after all today. He studied her curiously. A small woman wearing black armor and hair so red like that of the flames in a fire. She moved forward to stand in front of him confidently. "Jubal Bacchus," she stated simply. "I'm Danika Savine. I come bearing a gift from Koas in asking you to join her in a coming battle of unimaginable proportions and death. All that she asks is your swearing allegiance and bringing forth the might of the barbarians to strengthen her army." Jubal leaned forward with a dark feral smile, "No gift needed, little lady. I grow bored increasingly as of late with no battles. Our enemies have come to fear us and no longer wish the trouble of fighting us and suffering great losses. This news is a welcome respite to this drought of bloodshed and I will gladly lend the barbarian strength to the Mistress of Discord's cause." Danika smirked coldly and nodded. She unstrapped something from her back and handed it to him. "You are most welcome in our army then, Lord Bacchus. But take this as a gift nonetheless." He frowned and unwrapped what was given to him. He blinked and looked down to see a mighty broadsword in its sheath. It would take any normal man two hands to wield, but he knew he could easily use it with one. "I have no need for a sword when I have my old friend right here," he said, nodding down to his side where a massive two-bladed battle axe rested against the throne. Danika's smirk grew even colder so much that even he felt a shiver run up his spine. "Trust me, my lord. With this blade, nothing will be able to stand against you. All your enemies will fall before you easily." He blinked as he considered this weapon, drawing it from its sheath. It was indeed a magnificent blade and incredibly sharp. He was taken from his study of it as both were surprised by the appearance of a dark woman in a black dress stepping out of the shadows. How had she gotten inside the tent without his notice!? "Danika, if your mission is complete, I am here to take you back to report to Koas," she stated simply. Jubal frowned as he wondered who this woman was. For some reason, he had feeling this woman was sad somehow. Danika nodded to the woman and they both silently stepped into the shadows. The barbarian warlord blinked in confusion as he stepped over there where they were, knowing they couldn't have left. To his shock, they were gone! If such servants of Koas possessed such power, he wondered what kind of power this blade held. That feral grin returned as he moved with his weapon towards the flap entrance. Perhaps he would test it on a few barbarians. Today was a good day for killing after all.... ******************** Koas sat idly waiting on her throne for the return of her shadow mistress and confirmation that the nuisance had been finally removed. Lexiss had left earlier that day to search for Blaze's location and would no doubt be returning by the end of the day. Her avatar was thorough in her work and would make sure such a task was accomplished promptly. Just as she finished that thought, Lexiss stepped out of that shadows along with Danika. "Is it done, Lexiss?" she questioned once both women kneeled before her. "It is, my mistress. The curse of spirit necrosis was place upon him with my shadow touch," Lexiss answered softly. "The spirit necrosis curse? That is definitely cruel Lexiss. You did well as I commanded of you, my child. You may go now." Lexiss nodded silently as she rose and left the room. Koas directly her red gaze to her enforcer in silent command of reporting. Danika smirked as she looked to her goddess, "Jubal is set with bloodlust and eagerly agreed to join our forces. He accepted the weapon as well." "You've done well, Danika. You've escaped a hot pursuit to regain what you stole and made a long hard journey to make it to the barbarians. Such conduct is admirable and pleases your mistress to know she can place good faith in you," Koas said with a smile. Good. All was finally proceeding as planned now that things were back on track. The barbarians would prove to be a solid pillar of primal strength her forces would need. And now that Blaze was finally gone, she could focus solely and bringing the world into utter chaos and suffering.... ******************** Lexiss quietly closed the door to Koas's throne room behind her quietly. The shadow mistress leaned back against the door as a wave of emotions overran her. Why did she feel this way? Why did she hate herself for what she'd done to him? Why did she feel so sad for the loss of him? A part of her wanted to keep the cut on her face as a self-imposed punishment for what she'd done. Let her beauty be forever scarred. Yet she knew Koas would wonder why and grow suspicious. If she showed any signs of weakness, she would be removed and replaced by another swiftly. She would have to find Aurora in this castle to get it healed. But the shadow mistress remained where she was, her face dropping into her hands as she wept for the first time in her existence... ******************** Darkness had him. It was as if he was asleep, but it wasn't like it usually was. He was aware. Painfully aware. Far from a pleasant slumber, the agonizing pain ripped through him in the blackness. He felt himself try to scream from such suffering, but he found he could not within the darkness. He was alone with only the unbearable torment. Blaze wanted it to end. Please let it end. I want to die, he pleaded. Yet he felt something dark within his mind tell him this was only the beginning. It would only continue to get worse. Those who burned in the fiery pits of the Abyss were living in luxury compared to what it would do to him, it whispered menacingly in the dark. He wept. He broke down in despair and wept internally at the cruelty of it all. Kendra! He silently screamed out her name. He needed her. He wanted her by his side. All this time and he had never truly been able to sit down with her to talk about the very reality of what could happen to him as it was happening now. Voices. He heard voices suddenly growing inside his mind. Blaze was sure that the torture was now driving his mind insane. "We found him..... Over here!...." one voice cried out. "Dear Stavros," another voice whispered, "He.... He's..... Over here! HURRY!!!" What strange voices. A sharp barb of pain seized him once again as he screamed. Light. Light slowly came back to him. Blurred greens and browns. Hazy unrecognizable faces stared down at him, some with pure horror and others in grieving pity. What made them feel so? He vaguely heard the sound of someone retching nearby. Why was the person ill? Shouldn't someone help them? A fresh searing hot wave overtook him and his breath seized for a moment before darkness took him into her embrace once more. He began to hear other voices now, wondering how many he would have in his growing madness. "Miss Rae! Over here!" cried what sounded like what may have been Kiora. "Is it Blaze? Is it hi-," he heard Rae's voice choke off. "Bloody Lloth... Where's Kendra?... Kendra! NO! Stay back! You don't want to see...." His hearing faded as he heard one of the female voices from his madness howl in shrieking fury and grief. He was alone again with the pain. Its whisperings of horrors yet to come filling his mind as he burned in the flames of its crushing hold. Slowly the voices of insanity returned to the dying human. "I've done all I can," he heard a voice like Rae's say quietly. "What are you talking about, Rae?! He's whole again in body but he's still screaming!" a sweet voice like Kendra's sobbed. His vision once again slowly returned, but more blurry this time. A face stared down at him, but he could only make out brilliant green eyes. They were filled with such grief and pain, he wondered who they were. He wished they didn't feel so sad. But those eyes brought him a brief respite amongst the rolling sea of anguish he was drowning in. "He's fine... Physically," Rae choked. He knew he was going mad then. Rae would never show weakness by breaking down in such a way. "He's back to normal from the healing... But I can't save him...." "WHY!" Kendra shrieked in demand more than question. "It's something within him, Kendra... I couldn't remove it after I discovered what it was.... It's eating at his soul Kendra.... His body may be whole again, but the Blaze we know will soon cease to exist when his spirit is fully destroyed by this curse..." "N... No... No no no no.. NOOOO!!!" Kendra wailed. Those green eyes once more focused intently on him, "I won't lose him!... Richard!... Please baby.. Please no... Don't leave me... Please don't go..." He felt the painful claws sink into him once more as they tried to drag him back down. He fought with despair. He didn't want to go. He didn't want to leave those green eyes. He wanted to stay and find some way to bring this sad person happiness and joy. But sound was already lost to him and his vision blurred to darkness. Before he fully succumbed to unconsciousness, through the pain he could feel his face becoming wet. Was it raining? Darkness then took him...

Chapter 8 - Mystic Kindred Diamonds sparkled in untold numbers within the pitch darkness. Light winked off them in a dazzling display that left any observant being frozen with awe and wonder. It was so with Stavros that night as he gazed up to the stars in the clear night sky. The moon had not yet appeared in the sky to try and outshine their brilliance. But even the myriad of stars as countless as grains of sand in a lone beach couldn't quell the unease the deity felt. As a deity, he never felt the need for sleep. Yet he often liked to drift into the slumber mortals experienced. He felt it drew him closer to them in feelings and understanding. It was also a pleasant experience to rest one's weary mind. But he found that even if he wished to, he wouldn't be able to drift off into dreams. Something was wrong. It was more than just the sense that something terrible had happened. Even in the early morning hours, the birds remained silent when they should have been waking up and filling the air with their songs. The wind was still. The air was heavy and stagnant without its presence. An eerie silence has blanketed the land. He could literally taste the trouble that was about to or already has occurred. Stavros worried that it might be something to do with the Volarians. During the night he asked for constant reports on Sanjay and the people within as well as the surrounding countryside. Every time they came back to inform him that all was well. He soon realized these constant requests were making the servants nervous and apprehensive. By the middle of the night he had stopped asking them to give them ease of mind that all was finally well with the immortal. But not with him... Eilistraee would come visit him at times during the long hours to see how he was fairing, but he could see that she too sensed that something wasn't right this night. So she sat with him now in the gardens as he laboriously wondered what he was missing. Looking to the east, both gods watched the sun begin to rise above the horizon. It was an angry sun, red as if in fury of what had happened while it was not overhead to watch. "Blood red sun rising," he whispered softly, "To some it means blood has been shed this night." Both longtime friends shared a look of hope that it wasn't true. But they found out otherwise before they could prepare themselves. Not before the sun had fully revealed its round disc above the eastern edge of the sky, a young volarian guard winged his way towards them as if the whole harpy nation was right on his wingtips. Dust and pollen rose in a furious whirl as he skidded on his rushed landing before them. "What is it? Why have you been sent from your guarding post in Sanjay," Stavros asked as they rose to their feet. The messenger, a blue jay winged volarian, gasped for air as the sweat poured off of him from the exertion of racing here as fast as he could. Although the desire to hear what brought him there welled within Stavros, he patiently waited for the young man to catch his breath. No sooner had he done so, the messenger began babbling rapidly about something so fast not even Stavros couldn't follow him, though he tried. Eilistraee rolled her eyes at this and snapped her fingers, resulting in a thunderous clap that shut the messenger and brought him to attention immediately. "Now...," the Dark Maiden smiled sweetly to the young man, a mother comforting her child after a quick scolding. "Let's have that one more time, but more slowly darling." "There was an attempted murder in Sanjay last night!" he gasped out finally. Bother immortals stiffened with dread and nodded for the volarian to continue. "The one attacked and heavily wounded goes by the name of Blaze." Stavros grunted as if struck in the gut from this learning. This could not be! Blaze and his friends were part of the prophecy to prevent the world from descending into darkness and evil for eternity. Every one of them was essential; Blaze most importantly of all! If Blaze were to die, the world had just received its death sentence. "What happened? Is Blaze being taken care of?" asked a horrified Eilistraee after seeing her friend too numb with shock to speak at that moment. The guard somberly shook his head in defeat. "We were summoned by a Shrieker in the evening. All guards converged on the scene to see that is was Kiora Celeste that had fired it into the sky to warn us. She informed us she'd been attacked by an assassin sent to kill Blaze." Stavros's world began to turn red at this news. That someone had dared attack another within this land was bad enough. But that someone who had hurt a child he had come to love and think of as his own daughter! The massive deity's fists clenched tightly and trembled with barely contained fury. Eilistraee blinked when she saw the messenger blanch as if he were about to die and looked over to see her friend. Quickly she grabbed his hand and squeezed it comfortingly, rubbing his shoulder with her other hand as the Dark Maiden whispered comforting words to him. No one had ever seen Stavros fully lose his temper and Eilistraee didn't want to be the first to witness such destruction. Her touch and words worked their magic on her friend as he visibly relaxed. "Continue please," she whispered to the messenger with an assuring gaze. "A healer immediately took care of Kiora as we sent out search parties into the large central park of the city, in which she had witnessed Blaze flee at her command. We also dispatched units to search the rest of the city and one soldier to bring Blaze's friends to help at Kiora's request." The messenger stopped to swallow. But Stavros could see now that the young man was trembling with horror, eyes having witnessed something that one so young should never have to. He stepped forward and placed a comforting hand on the volarians shoulder. Tears streamed down the messenger's cheeks. "It was horrible. I was the first to find him.... By the gods..... His guts had been ripped right out and were laying all about his prone body," the volarian sobbed. Stavros felt like another relentless blow had hit him and sent him reeling. He heard Eilistraee gasp and choke back a pained cry as the young man continued. "We couldn't believe he was still alive, screaming as he was. His friends found us soon after we had gotten there. The drowess woman worked nothing short of a miracle when she healed him completely. She was exhausted by the end but said he was still lost, Stavros. She said something is within him and eating his spirit. His very soul is being destroyed and would cease to exist from this world and even the afterlife...." Both immortals stared at the young messenger in complete dismay. Eilistraee had to sit down upon the fountain after what she had just heard. The anger threatened to overwhelm him again. How could she do this!? How could Koas inflict such a terrible fate on the boy through one of her assassins? He wouldn't even wish such a fate upon his worst enemies! It infuriated him so much that he was close to confronting Koas himself! But sensibility returned and he knew such could not happen. It was bad enough a war between mortals was about to happen. He didn't need to start a war between gods. Koas would revel in such a case anyway. More chaos for her to enjoy. The shaken messenger remained silent as they were lost in private thoughts. Finally Stavros dismissed the volarian. But he had a servant passing by take the young man to some guest quarters to rest with instructions that a message be sent to the man's captain that he was being giving a much needed repose. When they were left alone, they both shared a dark look at this dire news. He knew something bad may have happened last night, but never this terrible! "We cannot let this come to pass," Eilistraee whispered vehemently in defiance as she looked to him with her fierce gaze. "Not without trying to do something to help." Stavros nodded silently in agreement as he focused on the solution now rather than the problem. He could not directly intervene because of the Natori pact. He quizzed Eilistraee about Rae's healing capabilities, The Dark Maiden assured him that she was one of the best because of the intense training drow go through. But she confirmed that such physical healing of a beastly injury was a miracle the drowess had performed above and beyond her abilities. Rae could do no more true enough as she had told the messengers and was likely too exhausted herself to even try. But still, Stavros would not accept conceding to this problem without a fight. He would find something to try and help the young warrior! So if the dark elf couldn't.... Wait. Dark elf? Stavros brightened immediately as he realized if there was no one else, there was one who could save him. It would be a hard long journey having to be made in a short time, but it could be done if they hurried. "The Silver Enchantress," he said aloud to himself in realization. Eilistraee's head snapped up instantly as her eyes narrowed. The Dark Maiden stood swiftly and marched right up to him, shaking her head fervently. "No!" she said with a defiant glare and finger poking into his chest for emphasis. "I don't want her involved with ANY of this business!" "My dear friend, please listen," he pleaded as she turned her back on him defiantly, arms folded beneath her breasts. It struck him at that moment that they must look a funny site, two old friends that acted as if they were married and in a marital squabble. He would have laughed if the situation wasn't so dour. "She's clearly the only one with the power to combat this evil inside Blaze. I understand your feelings about her, but she's his only hope. That is if she even chooses to help to begin with." Eilistraee's hands lifted to her face to brush at something he could not see with her facing away from as she was. "You're right, Stavros. I hope she will, but I do not want her involved in these matters after this!" The Dark Maiden glanced behind her to him with those brilliant blue eyes fierce with meaning behind those words before she nodded to her friend. She bid him goodbye until her return later. He watched her briskly walk away from him and the gardens. He felt saddened and wanted to comfort his friend, but she needed time to herself now. This course of action did not please her one bit. "But the Silver Enchantress would have been involved regardless because of Koas's spreading evil," he whispered to himself. "And after Blaze, she'll likely continue to be involved..." ******************** It was right. The pain continued to get worse as promised. His screams went silent in the darkness. At times he swore he could hear his screams tear through the air in howls of pure agony. To Blaze it was an eternity of darkness and torture with no end in sight, no matter how hard he prayed for it. Visions came and went as did his hearing. "He's coming around!" whimpered a voice as the vision blurred from the darkness. Bright golden eyes between bright orange hairs looked down to him. Tears streamed from those eyes like the steady flow of a river, matting the fur of her face. He recognized the familiar face, but the name escaped him through his torment. He struggled, but something held him firm against a soft surface. He shivered as he felt cold. Hands moved to secure something more tightly about him and he warmed again. Trying to get his bearings, he glanced about and saw what looked to be clouds so close that he could touch them. Impossible! Just another vision from the madness he realized before he dropped back into darkness with a sudden plunge. He dreamed. But they were not pleasant dreams. Nightmares seemed like a wonderful comfort compared to those he suffered through. More visions came to terrify him. Kiora blurred into vision, lying lifeless on the ground before the bench in a pool of her own blood. No! If only he hadn't run! He could have tried to save her! Her blood was on his hands. "You failed her," it whispered darkly to him. "Just like you failed everyone else..." "NO!" he screamed at the voice before whimpering in pain and admission. If he wasn't a failure, then why had he fallen to Lexiss? Why had he let himself be defeated so suddenly? Kiora's lifeless eyes stared up at him accusingly as he howled in anger and self-hatred. She faded from him before he stumbled to the ground. The smell of salt and sea filled the air before something more dark could be sensed. Burning. Looking up with horror, he saw Kyros burning with dead bodies lying all about the streets, dismembered and bloody. The sea broke waves red with blood. His hometown was destroyed. All his friends were dead! His.... His... "MOTHER!!!!!!" he howled with despair and pain beyond words. All the while he could hear it cackle with glee at his suffering. The vision blurred away to be replaced by those beautiful emerald green eyes once again. They gazed deeply into his own eyes and down into his soul, granting him a moment of strength and comfort in its warmth. He could see the boundless love within those eyes, but whom? Who was this person? "Stay with us baby.... Please hang on," she whispered to him fiercely with need but also panic. "We're almost there.... Almost there Richard... Just don't give up..... Don't leave me..." Those beautiful eyes drifted away into the dark once again as a new wave of pain racked through more terrible than any before. He couldn't scream this time as his mind simply exploded in bright flashes of torment. It felt as if his torturer felt something drawing nearer and was hurrying to finish its job with him with as much pain possible. The nightmares returned as he stood among a massive battlefield with bodies littered all about the fields and woods. Nadine lay lifeless to his side, pinned to the ground with a spear through her body. Rae lay not too far off, her body torn badly and barely recognizable. Tyra hung limply in the tree limbs, a dead porcupine with countless arrows sticking from her body. He dropped to his knees and cried openly when his eyes had finally turned in front of him. The headless body of what could only be Kendra lay there. He failed them, too! He could hear Stavros's accusing words. "Why did I trust you? How could I have placed such faith in a hopeless fool like you!?" A fool he was indeed. A hero? Him? Who had he been trying to fool? Only himself into believing he could be something he never would become. He'd lost those most dear to him and his world was dead. Then let me die! I deserve death, he bellowed into the dark as the vision faded. He gasped then as a sudden surge, not of pain, but strength suddenly seized him. His eyes opened wide. Beautiful amber colored eyes stared into his solemnly past the silvery bright hair drifting past them amongst soft bronzed skin. Such beauty. Kendra......? Darkness then snatched him back once more.... ******************** The news had come surprisingly fast and unexpected. The volarian guards had gently moved Blaze to their inn and had him resting within the bed in the room. The guards then waited respectfully outside. The four women silently waited within, none saying a word as they watch the man they all cared for suffer and howl in agony from time to time. Kendra hadn't left his side for a second. She had glued herself to him out of desperation as if in hope her close presence would lend him strength. Perhaps it was, Rae observed. By all accounts, Blaze should be dead already. Such wounds killed men outright and yet he had still been alive. Yet he had been on Death's doorstep. Death's Mistress felt her old friend's icy touch reaching out to take hold of her Patron. But this time she had to deny instead of give this one to Death's embrace. She worked tirelessly to heal him and succeed she did. But then she found the curse. Such disdainful evil made even her skin crawl. Even with enemies, the drow knew they were all meant to serve Lloth in the Abyss when they died. There was no greater honor. But this! No heaven or hell of any form awaited Blaze now. What awaited him was nothing for nothing he would become. And such frustrated her to the point that she wanted to shriek in fury. She was losing her Patron and she could do nothing! NOTHING! Hissing angrily to herself, Rae glanced up to the others. Nadine huddled into a chair like a ball of shivering fur, crying with her face buried to her raised knees. Tyra looked on silently without emotion, expression a mask of stone. Yet the drowess could see the emotions storming through those dark eyes of the gargoyle. But Kendra... Rae had never seen a being in more sorrow than she had witnessed in the demoness. The woman suffered so greatly that Rae was certain even the coldest drow would feel a twinge of pity in their dark heart. Death's Mistress felt her own grief welling, but knew from what she had seen that it was only a drop of water compared to the river that was Kendra's. For the first time in her life, the assassin never again wanted to see another being suffer as much as she witnessed now. A soft knock brought their attention to the door. Rae hissed as she quickly stepped to the door. Couldn't they simply be left alone to grieve for him? "Who is it!" she snapped, more demand than question with a hint of a dangerous warning. "Kiora," answered the muffled voice through the door. Her red eyes blinked as she was surprised the injured volarian had elected to come so soon in her state. She must have been healed, for she had lost a good bit of blood and was quite weak when Rae saw her being rushed away to help. Opening the door, she allowed the somber avatar inside and closed the door quietly behind. Kiora looked at all of them with sadness before she hung her head in shame. "I am sorry. I have failed in my duties to protect Blaze from harm and brought you all such terrible grief." "No Kiora," Nadine sniffed as she wiped her eyes and looked up. "You did your best to always watch over him and us. You can't help that you were surprised in your own home city and wounded badly." "She's right," Tyra affirmed with a nod. "You performed your duties of a guardian as best as you could. What happens, happens and cannot be changed." "I know," the avatar whispered as she leaned back against the wall, wiping her eyes. "I just did not expect Koas to send her most dangerous servant, Lexiss Makora..." Kendra's head rose to look at Kiora. "Lexiss Makora?" the demoness whispered darkly. Rae did not doubt the succubus was burning that name into her memory. It would be a name of a woman Kendra would never forget nor forgive. The look on Kendra's face was enough to even make Rae shiver and avert her gaze quickly. A sharp knock startled them all out of their silent vigil with a jump. Rae's eyes narrowed darkly as she was about to blast that door and whoever was behind it into the Abyss with her magic! Seeing her dangerous look, Kiora quickly stepped over to save the unknown person and open the door cautiously. A few whispers were exchanged before Kiora nodded and stepped back to allow another volarian inside. Blazing Glory Ch. 08 "Please forgive my intrusion," the man said with a respectful bow, "But I come bearing important news from Stavros." Five sets a beautiful female eyes widened with hope and rapt attention upon hearing this. Rae smiled inwardly. Of course Stavros would have been informed about what happened and would try to do something to help. "Firstly, Stavros commends the drowess Rae on her miraculous healing of Blaze, saving him from certain death and ensuring this chance," he said with a bow of his head to Rae. Death's Mistress simply smirked in return at the compliment to her superb skills. Seeing Kendra about ready to leap from the bed and shake the daylights out of him to get the rest of the information, the man quickly stammered out the rest. "Stavros says to quickly take Blaze into the eastern forests of Solomon. There you will find a woman called the Silver Enchantress and she may be able to cure the curse upon him. But she is Blaze's only chance." All four women of Blaze's group shared one look of understanding before they all became a whirlwind of packing everything up. Kiora rushed the messenger outside along with her to order the city guard to bring preparations. By the time they had all packed up their belongings in their travel packs, Kiora had returned with ten other armed volarian guards. They were all pleased to see that Kiora and her comrades had brought the necessary supplies along with two litters. 'The quickest way we're going to get there is to fly obviously," Kiora stated as they left the inn for city gates. "With few rests and hard flying, we should be able to reach the Enchantress's woods in two days." They set out ringed by the guards, soaring towards the massive mountains they had hiked down from not just a few days before. Kendra insisted on taking the lead of the litter carrying Blaze with Tyra supporting the other end. Nadine and Rae were forced to be passengers carried on the other litter and passed the time switching places to Blaze's litter when the fliers rested. The young human warrior continued to suffer and scream from time to time. Nadine and Rae did their best to give him herbs and fluids to try to help him fight the curse. When their height increased and temperature dropped, they covered him with blankets. Tirelessly they flew through the mountain passes and canyons towards their destination with Kendra setting a relentless pace. But none complained, eager to get Blaze to this sorceress to help him. As the sun began to touch the western horizon, the group exited the lower foothills of the mountains to find them flying over a sea of spruce and leaves. A massive forest as far as the eye could see spread out before them. It went on without end amongst the hilly landscape. The tired group of flying travelers found a small open glen almost an hour later to land in. Kiora quickly dispatched her guards the check the surrounding woods and eradicate any monster or potential threat. Turning back to the other women, the avatar managed a weak smile with hope filling it. "We are close to where the Silver Enchantress lives. You should be able to find her if you travel to the northwest by about half a day on foot." "You're not coming with us, Kiora?" Tyra said with a frown, quickly understanding the meaning behind Kiora's words. The dove-winged beauty shook her head and ran her fingers through her blonde hair as she looked about for her guards to return. "No. I fear we can't stay. The attack on Blaze and me is just a prelude of what is to come. I need to get back to my people and help them prepare for the coming onslaught from Koas's forces." While understanding her reasons perfectly, none of the four women seemed altogether comfortable with Kiora and her comrades leaving. It wasn't just the added protection, but that Kiora had become an invaluable friend to them over the last week. They were surprised when Kendra rose and left the ailing Blaze's side to walk over to the avatar. In what had to be a first in a world descending into chaos, the demoness embraced the angel-like beauty and whispered her thanks for all the servant of Stavros had done for them. Kiora blushed at first but soon returned the hug with a small smile. Wiping a tear from her eyes, Kiora was aware of her own guard troop returning. All reported the area was clear and quiet; all volarians safely returned and accounted for. With the exchange of farewells and promises to meet again in the coming future, Kendra and the others were left watching the volarians fly away towards the mountains and the land beyond that they called home. The exhausted women soon set up camp for the evening and a watch over Blaze in tending to him as darkness of night draped across the sky. Though try as they might, they couldn't get much sleep even if there had been the absence of Blaze's occasional moans and screams... ******************* Darkness had long since settled upon the isolated structure in the low valley surrounded by forbidding mountains. Though easily dwarfed by the mounds of rock that surrounded it, the structure was large and impressive in its own right. Towering above the forest canopy in its multiple levels, the edges of the building curling upwards towards the sky in the traditional way of its people. Smaller buildings of stables, supply storage and other necessities surrounded it. Open spaces of various sizes dotted the complex between these structures. In the darkness of night, the mist of the many marshes in the valley began to rise and partially cloak the complex in its gloomy light. It suited a ninja clan's headquarters quite well. Kalei Miakoda stared down at her hard earned success with pride. She was a beautiful woman of Shoushan descent. But she did not have the startling looks of vivid color like her own sister Nariko. A fact her older sister liked to point out quite often. But men still fell for her from her looks just as often as they did from her shuriken. Her intense large eyes of purple glanced over to her mirror in thought. Long black hair cascaded down her back. She loved her long hair even though her older sister made fun of it growing up and bragged about her own shorter blue hair being better. Kalei couldn't disagree more. Long hair signified that she was a woman, a girl no longer. Nariko looked still like a child much at times. Pulling her long hair over her shoulder to run her fingers through it, she caught a glimpse of her more personal look she liked. With her nightgown baring her back alluringly, she could see her clan symbol tattooed on her upper back. But what drew the eye more was the snake head right above it. Had she been fully nude, it would lead the eye on a wonderful journey following the snake's long body all about her own firm and beautiful physique. It was her pride that she lorded over Nariko as she knew it angered her sibling. Her older sister obviously envied the beautiful detail of it but would never give in to getting a tattoo. Doing such would allow Kalei a victory over her. Kalei smiled though as she noticed those bright orange eyes glancing at her back even now with jealousy. "Come on! Out with it sis," she sighed eventually, looking over to Nariko sitting on her own bed. "I want to know why you're here. You've never come to visit before and out of the blue you just appear and ask for asylum." It had been more than a surprise actually. Even though they still maintained warm feelings of being sisters, the rivalry between them had continued to escalate until Kalei finally got fed up. She left her family clan to start her own clan of ninja. But her Yamakagashi Clan maintained good relations with the Miakoda Clan. Yet in all that time since her sister had become the leader of the family clan, she had not come to see her little sister once. In times when Kalei stopped by, Nariko was either away or too busy to see her. "You've been here more than a week," she continued on when her stubborn 'guest' said nothing. "Clearly you're hiding from something or someone!" Nariko stiffened and shot her a hot glare. "Fine twerp! You always pestered me growing up and obviously you'll never change. I might as well tell you so you can shut up about it!" Stiffening herself, Kalei bit her tongue to hold back the rebuke she wanted to lash out with. Turning about, the dark-haired ninja woman leaned against the window and looked to her older sister. This was something she didn't want to miss a word of! "I was given a mission from Koas to take out a man by the name of Blaze," her older sister began with a sullen scowl. "She tried to warn me of the capabilities of him and his female friends, but I didn't think it would be that much trouble. I found out the hard way I was wrong. His gargoyle companion intercepted my poison dart that I shot at him." Kalei's purple eyes opened wide. A gargoyle for a companion? Who was this Blaze? Nariko shook her head at the memory of it and continued. "My ninja squad attacked instantly with a few acting to distract the other females while we dispatched him. Damn it! You should have seen how Blaze tore through my ninjas with his swords! They looked like amateurs compared to him! I was going to step in to finish the job myself when his pet lycan bitch showed up to help." The head of Yamakagashi Clan couldn't believe what she was hearing. Nearly a whole squad of ninja taken out by a single man? If she couldn't believe what she was hearing, she certainly couldn't believe what she was seeing. Nariko hugged her arms about herself as she shivered visibly, eyes closed in the memory of what she had seen. "And then there was the leather wearing woman coming towards us, his last companion," she said with a haunted voice. "The men that attacked her lay behind her... broken... torn apart even! No human could have done what I saw. And those eyes... Those green eyes... I saw my death assured within them, Kalei. I was alone and outnumbered. So I had to flee...." Kalei was beginning to wonder if the world was finally coming to an end. Her sister sat before her completely undone. Her sister had been defeated and failed her mission. Worst of all, she had had to run for her life while bearing the shame. Not worst of all, she corrected herself. The worst was that Nariko had failed Koas and she now knew her older sister was hiding from the goddess's wrath. She could only shake her head in disgust. That was one of the main differences between her and her older sister. Nariko served Koas. Kalei served no one but herself and those she was responsible for here in her home. Nariko lived for the assassin's kill and found much in such employment through the evil goddess. But she felt differently. Ninja were not simply cold blooded assassins! Though the job sometimes required kills, the art of the true ninja was protection, infiltration and information gathering for the clan or paying clients. When she saw Nariko leading her family clan down a path of blood, she knew she had to follow her own vision and code of honor. The path her older sister had taken would only lead her to her own destruction. Now it looked as if that was truly going to come to fruition. "If you can believe it, the bastard even chased me under the city," Nariko spat angrily, quivering in anger now. "I nearly lost him to in the underground until I came upon two dark pointy-eared rats! I killed the one and was just about to kill the female who looked to be an assassin herself. Then Blaze surprised me from behind and I barely made it out of there." "You attacked the drow!" Kalei snapped angrily. "Are you insane, sister!? Are you trying to start a war between ninja and drow? We already walk a fine line with them! A war would cost both sides heavily with no end ever in sight!" Nariko bounded off the bed furiously and stomped over to Kalei. "Those drow are vile dogs! Scum! They have no right to call themselves true assassins!" Nariko spat and shook her fist in Kalei's face. "So don't you DARE lecture me on the drow! If I had it my way, all the clans would have long since been at war with the pointy-eared rats and rid this world of their filthy existence!" Her older sister's level of hatred towards the dark elves surprised Kalei. She herself wasn't too fond of them and their culture. But she at least harbored a healthy respect for drow enough to not meddle with them. But the Yamakagashi clan leader stood her ground before her infuriated sister and silently gazed into the other's maddened eyes. The intense silence worked as Kalei expected and cooled Nariko's temper in the passing minutes. Nariko frowned and turned around to stalk over toward the shadowy doorway as if looking like she wanted to leave and be rid of her little sister's presence. The older ninja woman stopped and remained there quietly for the next few minutes. Kalei stood where she was, waiting patiently for what was to come. "I don't know what is in store for me in the near future, Kalei," Nariko said sadly with a rueful shake of her head. She looked over her shoulder to the younger woman with those bright orange eyes and a small smile. "Just know that whatever happens, I'm proud of you little sis. You've built a fine clan from the ground up." Kalei smiled genuinely and winked, "I love you, too, big sis." "I know you do. And I love you, twerp!" Nariko returned the wink with a small grin. Both sisters shared a rare moment together of sibling love as they gazed at one another. A hand shot out from the shadows and seized Nariko by the throat tightly, forcing a pained gasp from her older sister. Kalei barely had time to get over her shock and cry out the alarm before her sister was lifted effortlessly off the ground and wrenched into the darkness. Not caring that she was unarmed, Kalei ran over to where her sister was. But to her despair, her sister and the attacker were not there. Kalei only found the flickering shadows from the candlelight flames.... ******************** Her green emerald eyes watched the sky turn from a murky black filled with diamonds to a deep blue of the sea before changing fully into the bright blue of a new day. Kendra hadn't gotten much sleep during the night as she lay next to her ailing lover. His fidgeting and occasional howl of agony was enough to keep any person from sleeping. Yet she remained by his side, sensing that somehow her presence provided him strength, even if it was small in measure. As she rose from her place by his side, she noted that her movements already roused the others from their troubled rest. Staring at the sunshine beginning to filter through the forest gloom with beams of light, she felt the determination to find this Silver Enchantress this very day. Call it woman's intuition, but the determination she felt was fueled by the very feeling that this was Blaze's last day and he could hold on no longer. "Tyra, you're coming with me," she said to the others who were still waking and beginning to dress themselves. The guardian blinked and nodded slowly in mild confusion. "Rae and Nadine, I'm sorry but we're going to have to leave you behind to follow us north. We need all the speed we can muster and can't do so by hanging back to allow you to keep up." Nadine nodded in understanding. Rae snorted and crossed her arms beneath her breasts, eventually giving her consent grudgingly. Leaving their few belongings of little importance for them to carry, Kendra and Tyra moved swiftly to the litter carrying Blaze. The powerful demoness and gargoyle lifted him effortlessly before leaping into the sky together. The sun greeted both fliers on the horizon as they broke from the forest canopy and headed northwest. Both women said nothing to each other the entire time. They knew that there was no point in words at that time. Instead they focused on flying together in unison so as not to lose control of the litter and keep their eyes scanning around the woods below for any sign of the sorceress. Kendra was both thankful and cursing the silence as the air rushed by them. The quiet had a soothing calm to it, but she hated its tendency to make her mind wander into thoughts. Such thoughts as in losing Richard. Shaking her head quickly, her green gaze returned to studying the way north ahead of them. They had been flying for no more than an hour when Kendra spotted it. She had nearly overlooked it at first and wouldn't have seen it for a while longer had she not been concentrating. A small thin tendril of smoke snaked and coiled about itself as it reached upwards. In the vastness of these forests, it was the only sign of habitation. It had to be her! Kendra looked behind her and signaled to Tyra where they needed to head towards. The guardian was already one step ahead of her and nodded. Both women banked gently to the left until they were heading directly towards the smoke. Flying with renewed vigor at the sight of their goal within reach, they arrived quickly within the vicinity. To her disgruntlement, the succubus could see no clearing for them to land in. Apparently the Silver Enchantress liked to live deeply entrenched in the forest. Tyra quickly pointed out a narrow gap in the trees in which they could land. With a few annoying scratches from some branches, they managed to get through to ground safely without disturbing Blaze that much. Kendra and Tyra immediately started walking north while carrying their wounded companion. Even though they had lost sight of the smoke now, they had sharp memories and knew their bearings enough to know where they were going. Kendra felt her heart swell with cautious hope as small cabin came into view through the tree trunks. It was a small structure with a single chimney. Surrounding it were various gardens filled with vegetables, herbs, and flowers. It certainly had the look of a home to someone who practiced magic and healing. They had found the Silver Enchantress who would cure her Richard of this evil curse destroying him. Kendra's jaw tightened as they drew closer to the cabin. The sorceress will help him. Or else Kendra would kill her.... ******************* Death's Mistress sighed in anger over having to be left behind. She was forced to admit that the succubus had been right. Flight was certainly a lot quicker than being on foot. But the famous assassin didn't like being away from her Patron while he was ill. She could feel her icy friend Death was searching for her lover at this very moment and was drawing near. When he found Blaze, she wouldn't be there to be able to stop him from being claimed. She doubted she could stop Blaze's death even if she were there. Never before had she felt such a limit on her own power. She always believed her potential boundless. Rae believed that the powers of the drow were supreme and undefeatable through the training she had received. That belief had run head long into a wall. Now she was no longer sure about her abilities being so limitless. It was a feeling she didn't like one vithing bit! Moving north, both she and the catwoman walked solemnly amongst the trees and root riddled ground. Neither said a word to each other. They were like their two flying friends in determination to reach this Silver Enchantress as soon as possible. Rae wanted to be there to witness how this sorceress could supposedly do what she herself could not. That or at least be by her Patron's side when he died. Pain tore through her at that thought and she quickly brushed that thought out of her mind. She wouldn't lose Blaze like she had lost Raviv! Whether she liked it or not, she wanted this woman to succeed where she had failed. Rae stopped dead cold in her tracks. Nadine stumbled behind the drowess to prevent from walking into the dark elf having stopped so abruptly. The catwoman mewed softly in aggravation and about asked why the sudden halt before Rae silence her with a hand signal. In the forest quiet, there were soft sounds of everyday life of insects to the tree branches swaying. But Rae knew what she had heard and listened with her keen pointed ears. Then she heard it again as she suspected. The sharp yet small snap of a twig breaking from being stepped on. Even Nadine's cat ears twitched in catching the sound. Blazing Glory Ch. 08 "Something smells like it's burning... Kind of sulfurous," the catwoman whispered softly as she sniffed the air. Rae didn't need to say anything further as her red eyes spotted the source as it stepped out of the brush. With a low growl, a massive hellhound demon blood red in color stepped out from the brush with its beady yellow eyes centering on them. Nadine gasped and Rae nearly gawked in the out of place creature. What in Lloth's name was a hellhound doing all the way out here in Solomon? Neither was it alone either as her hearing and vision picked up more sounds from its obvious companions. Slowly reaching behind her where her ring sabers were secured, Death's Mistress grasped them firmly in preparation for what was to come. It was obvious by what she saw in those ghastly eyes as more and more hellhound demons stepped out of the brush, surrounding them. The soft clicks of the catwoman's claws coming out behind her let Rae know her companion was ready. With a vicious hiss, Death's Mistress spun about as she whipped her weapons to bear. The movement surprised the pack of demons for a brief moment and that was all she needed. Rae jumped towards the nearest to bring the sharp tip down upon the demon's head, piercing its skull and brain with a sharp crack. Continuing the fluid flow of her spin, she brought her other saber around in beheading the beast next to the first. Her ears picked up the angry meows and pained howls of the other hounds as the lycan woman tore into them. Rae didn't have the time or care to look as she saw a hellhound charging leap towards her. Smirking evilly, the dark elf sidestepped swiftly and brought both blades down upon the hound as it flew past her. She relished in its death cry as she cleaved the beast in half in a bloody burst of gore. Laughing in delight, Death's Mistress tore through numerous demons in a whirlwind of bloody pain as her victims fell to the ground in pieces or their innards spilled. She relished in splashing the forest with their life blood and the violence making her skin tingle with pleasure. So lost in the carnage she was delving out, she barely heard it. "Rae..." The hoarse whisper drew the Matron Mother to a halt instantly in realization she had forgotten about Nadine! Red eyes wide, she whipped around in the direction her voice came from. Nadine struggled in the air as she gasped for breathe from the powerful hand that held her up effortlessly in the air. Rae hissed angrily. So the damn leader finally decided to show! She couldn't believe this pack of hellhounds had simply come here of their own accord with no pack leader. "Put down the blades now or I break her neck as easily as a twig," his voice growled. The hellhound demon stood there powerfully muscled with his hound-like head glared at her. She didn't doubt this bastard had surprised Nadine from behind or else he would be dead along with the others. Claw marks marred his arm from the catwoman's struggle, but lack of air soon weakened her. Rae's red eyes noted more hounds now surrounding her. She couldn't unleash her magic without hurting Nadine. Funny. Before Blaze and his friends, she would have killed an enemy and friend alike in this situation without a moment's hesitation. Now she was hesitating to do that very thing. Shaking her head in disgust, she dropped her bloody weapons to the forest floor. She could always bring her magic to bear in an instant as a last resort, but she had a plan forming in her mind. If this male was like any she knew, the path of this situation was going to take was clear. It wouldn't be pleasant, but there was a narrow window of opportunity to get herself and Nadine out of this alive. "When this over, I promise you that you'll be dead," Death's Mistress hissed venomously. The demon scowled at her like she was some stupid bitch. "Face it, dark elf. You've lost. You and your friend here are going to pay for what you've done to my brothers." "Give my friend some air, you vithing bastard! What in the Abyss are you doing out here in Solomon anyway!" she demanded angrily. The demon's grip eased slightly on Nadine's throat, allowing the lycan to gasp some much needed air finally. He smirked towards Rae as a superior being would an inset crawling beneath its feet. The drowess stiffened but kept her temper in check... barely. "I suppose there would be no harm in telling you since you're dead where you stand anyway," the demon laughed. "We're part of a search group looking for a woman by the name of the Silver Enchantress. By Koas's orders, we're to kill the woman to prevent any meddling in the goddess's plans." Her red eyes blinked in surprise. Who was this Silver Enchantress? How powerful could she be if Koas sent out special groups to attack one single person? She might have thought of asking him how they got past the Great Boaz Wall, but she quickly realized the deathly frigid cold of those mountaintops would be nothing to a hellhound. "Now that's said and done with, it's time for you to pay for what you've done. My friends meet your new bitch!" he growled in a self-pleased manner. Rae gasped as one of the four remaining hellhound demons bulled her over suddenly. The dark elf crashed roughly into the ground as the demons quickly started circling her with waving tails and panting tongues. Nadine watched her in horror and began to valiantly struggle with all her might to help her friend. The demon seized her throat up again in a tight grip and fixed her with a warning glare. "Behave yourself pussycat! Or else I'll have them tear her into pieces. A very painful death compared to the quick ones we will give you if you behave! The same goes for you dark elf! Any resistance and I'll have them tear you apart while I pop kitty's head off her shoulders." Nadine weighed their options and still felt like resisting. She couldn't let them go through with this. Then her golden eyes caught the fixating look Rae shot her. Her heart nearly stopped with that look. Rae? The drowess's look clearly told her to do nothing and let this happen. But why? Rae couldn't possibly be willing to let those demonic beasts defile her! Nadine wouldn't stand for it! But the look she got from Death's Mistress held promise that this would end well. But how? Rae silently steeled herself and her emotions away deeply inside her. This wouldn't be the first time she'd been raped. The priestesses of Lloth often sexually molested and tortured their students. It was part of the training. If you couldn't harden yourself away from the emotions dealt with such a traumatic experience, then you didn't deserve to be learning from them and were killed swiftly. Slamming the door on her emotions and mind, Death's Mistress simply let go of herself and let her body be as it will. Laying exposed and defenseless on her back with her piwafwi spread about beneath her, Rae looked up to see the hounds draw closer. One big demon made straight for her crotch. She closed her eyes and tensed when she felt the sharp teeth and claws against her inner thighs. With surprising delicacy, the sound of tearing filled the air as the dark cloth of her pants was torn away from her crotch. Dark lips of her exposed pussy felt the warm putrid air from the hellhound's panting mouth. Dipping its head, it sniffed in the scent of her womanhood before giving it a tentative lick. The drowess shivered at the feeling of that broad tongue against her pussy as the hellhound began licking repeatedly in enjoying the taste of her. Despite her wishing internally to not do so, her feelings were locked away and her body automatically began to respond in growing arousal. Tasting the sweet honey of her twat getting wet, the demon assaulted her groin with renewed vigorous hunger. Rae groaned softly with the mountain pleasure. A gasp escaped her when claws seized her white shirt and ripped the top of it to shreds. Obsidian breasts bounced slightly from the rough movement. Dark purple nipples reached towards the sky in their hardness from her body's excitement. The small drowess couldn't hold back the loud moan of approval as a pair of tongues assaulted those beautiful black tits. Nadine could only watch in horror as Rae was being savaged in the beginning of what could only get worse. The demon had let her down to where she kneeled down helplessly on the ground. Her long bright orange hair was gathered up in a tight fist to prevent any significant movement or suffer the pain. The catwoman whimpered in aguish as she saw the hellhound lapping at Rae's pussy move up. The assassin's red eyes shot wide open when she felt the tongue leave her aroused lips to be soon replaced by a poking sensation. She looked down just in time to witness the bright red humanoid cock slid into her black quim. The drowess hissed in both disgust and pleasure as the demonic cock slammed deeply into her. Her body, free from her mind, willing spread her legs open wider to give the hellhound better access to ram her wet tunnel with all of its demonic might. Rae could only blink her red eyes with shock as the fourth demon moved over her head and lowered itself to its knees. Her gaze was filled with the raging cock poking straight towards her face. She wanted to stop this right now, but a quick glance to Nadine told her all was not ready yet. Closing her eyes with a surge of willpower to go through with this, the drowess did what she had to in order to survive. Leaning her head up, the dark elf willing swirled her tongue around the head of that red cock like a deprived slut. Rae moaned as she ran her tongue up and down its length before taking the member into her mouth. Suckling noises could be heard through the woods as the drowess bobbed her head back and forth on that hellhound meat with fervor. She would draw back from the cock at times with a loud wet smack of her lips before licking that throbbing cockhead in a teasing manner. "Your friend there has a pretty good idea," the demon laughed above Nadine. He grinned down to Nadine. The demon lifted his loin cloth to reveal a massively long red cock twitching in excitement from the nasty show before them. "Suck on my dick kitty! Do it or you both die painfully! Show me which of you two the bigger slut is!" Rae's ears twitched slightly as she heard him say that before he roared with laughter. Bloody Lloth she was going to kill that son of a bitch! The assassin grunted as more of that thick cock rammed into her cunt so deeply before she felt it. She would have screamed, but couldn't with the mouthful she had at that moment when the hellhound's knot pressed against her entrance and spread her cunt wide. Half screaming from the pain and the pleasure she got from that massive knot, she very nearly came right then. The constant licking of her sensitive tits wasn't helping either. The dark orbs glistened wetly with all the saliva. Nadine could only cry for Rae silently as she watched that knot slide fully into her dark friend's pussy, locking elf and demon together until it filled her with demonic cum. A firm yank to her hair made her yelp and reminded Nadine of her own predicament. She momentarily glimpsed Rae thrashing about on the ground as a fierce climax ripped through her and the demon panting heavily as it fucked its new bitch. Her furry hand wrapped about the long length and pumped her hand up and down its length in a firm grip. Closing her eyes and imagining it was Blaze, the lycan woman extended her own tongue to slide across that massive purple cock head. She heard the demon gasp in evil delight as it felt the slightly rough texture of her tongue run across his sensitive skin. Powerful hands seized her head and pushed his cock into her lips until he forcefully rammed that monster cock into her mouth and back of her throat. She gagged from the sudden action and tears ran down her cheeks. "That's it, kitty! Suck my cock like the fucking whore you are! You should see your friend getting fucked even harder! What a complete tramp! She's willingly fucking them now!" the demon laughed. Death's Mistress hissed as the pleasure of another orgasm ripped through her body. Cum gushed from her dark lips to coat the hellhound's cock and hips. Her shining black tits bobbed provocatively on her chest to the licking hounds. She was in dangerous waters and threatened to be swept away by the rip tide of her body's pleasure. She had to maintain some measure of control to allow her mind and feelings to return at the moment she needed them. Nearly choking on the cock down her throat, Rae gulped several times to ripple her throat muscles up and down its length. The demon hellhound above her whined in encouragement and approval. Out of the corner of her eyes, her dangerous gaze saw the catwoman rapidly moving her head up and down the length of the lead demon's own cock. The tall muscled bastard groaned in pleasure and continued to call them all kinds of obscenities. Good, Rae thought. Ever so slowly her hand slid down her side as she felt another orgasm beginning to approach. The hound above her was the first to unleash its demonic howl before the dark elf began cough and spluttering on a mouthful of hot demon jizm. She spat out as much as she could before she heard the second howl. Red eyes wide, she felt her cunt suddenly hit with hot spurts of cum that sent drowess into a shrieking orgasm. The drowess thrashed about on the ground as she was filled and splashed that invader with her juices. All of this orgasmic bliss was too much for the already excited hounds lapping her tits as they came with their buddies. Beautiful bouncing black tits were soon sprayed from both sides and glistening from the drool and spunk combination. The demon leader had his eyes closed in ecstasy from this incredible blowjob this 'pussy' kneeling before him was giving. Nadine could only whimper and cry in frustration and she struggled to think of how to get out of this predicament. That thick red cock dove deeply into her throat repeatedly as her tongue tantalizingly caressed the thick undervein. She pulled back a few times to run her catlike tongue against the very sensitive area just under the flared head and received approval in scathing taunts from him. It was when she did this again that the demon grunted. Thick spurts of white goo shot into the back of her throat. She yelped in surprise having no warning as her face and large furry tits were hosed with thick streams of his demonic seed. She nearly hissed and bit that dick off! There had been no warning given to her that he was about to cum. The bastard! And he did it purposefully! "You better have enjoyed that because it was your last," a dangerous voice suddenly hissed. Falling back onto her cute furry ass and spitting out his cum, Nadine looked up startled to see a half-naked drowess wrapped about the frozen demon from behind. Legs wrapped firmly about his stomach and her arm tightly gripped his head. Pressed firmly to his red throat was one of Rae's ring sabers. "You!" the demon gasped. "But... How?" "Quite easy actually," the drowess laughed coldly by his right ear. "I just had to wait until you took advantage of Nadine like I knew you would you vithing pig!" An amazed Nadine glanced over to where Rae had been and saw the last four hellhounds lying dead on the ground with not so much as a mark on them. The demon could only look with the same dumbfounded expression at his dead demon comrades. "While you were too busy enjoying that blowjob," Rae hissed into his ear, pressing the sharp blade more firmly to his skin, "I slipped out my special little dagger. It's coated with a lovely little poison that will kill you within seconds. And a little poke to get it in the bloodstream is all I needed to do. By the time your damn dogs realized they'd been pricked by the blade, they were already dead." "And now you'll do the same to me?" he growled angrily, but still didn't dare move in the position he was in. Nadine could only look up at Rae with newfound respect, but the look she saw in the Matron Mother's eyes made her shiver uncontrollably and want to run for her very life from this place. This was Death's Mistress in all her cold murderous evil. "Nau... Not for you..." Rae whispered into his ear. "Because I know your kind are not demons of the immortal variety.... I have something special in mind for you, darling... " No longer growling, fear like that in Nadine's eyes was in his own and evident in his voice. "Like what?" he asked with dread. Death's Mistress ran her tongue from the base of his neck up to his ear with a hum of pure pleasure. "I'm going to taste your blood," she hissed softly. His eyes opened wide as she seized him tight with amazing strength. Death's Mistress ripped her blade across and through the demon's throat. Blood arched across to splash trees and brush. The demon choked and garbled as he tried to reach for his sliced throat, but Rae held them pinned to his sides with her strong legs. Whipping her ring saber around to her, she ran her tongue across the bloody blade. She swallowed what she gathered and hissed evilly like a spider that just killed the victim having wandered her web. The demon dropped to his knees as his blood poured out and air wouldn't come. But still the drowess wouldn't release him. "That's it... Come on baby.... Bleed for me..," she purred evilly, her red eyes nearly glowing with malevolence. "Feel yourself dying horribly.... Feel the iciness creeping into you... Xas... My old friend has come for your soul and to take you to the fiery pits of the Abyss... You vithed with the wrong drow!" Those last words came out in a spiteful snarl as he choked his last bloody-frothed breath. Rae scowled and whipped her weapon around to fully decapitate the demon and hurled the head beyond sight into the forest. With a hiss and spit in the direction it had sailed, Rae set about wiping her bloody blade clean on the grass. When she glanced up, she noticed Nadine still sitting where she was. The lycan had an uneasy look about her as if she wanted to flee any moment. "What? A drowess can have a little fun with her kill?" Rae scoffed. Her red eyes blinked as she surmised showing her darker side would unsettle any non-drow. "It's okay Nadine. You have nothing to fear from me. The ones that should fear me are those who wish to hurt you, the others, and Blaze." "You willingly let yourself be raped?" the unsure catwoman said as she wiped her eyes. Rae smirked slightly and nodded. "In order to attack and make the kill, the assassin sometimes has to sleep with the target and strike when they least expect it. I'm sorry if it seems that I used you, Nadine. But I had to count on you to distract him while I dispatched the hounds. Until you distracted him, I had to let them violate me to protect you." Nadine's bright golden eyes stared at the drowess as her words sunk in. The lycan woman sniffed, sniffed again before sobbing and leaping into Rae's arms. The drowess's eyes grew wide with shock as she was hugged tightly by the furry woman. The assassin rolled her eyes and sighed. Sometimes she could never understand this catwoman that was crying into her shoulder. With a small smile, the woman that had been a cold hearted murderer moments before hugged the lycan in return while whispering comforting words. "It's okay now Nadine... I noticed a stream a little ways back the way we came," Rae whispered as they both stood. "Let's go get that bastard's filth cleaned off of you." Nadine nodded and managed a smile. She was still amazed and touched that Rae, the often angry and difficult member of their party, had gone through such an ordeal to save her. Seeing the drowess in a new light, Nadine blinked as she noticed something else as they started walking. "Oh Rae! What about your clothes?" she meowed mournfully. Blazing Glory Ch. 08 "Don't worry... It's nothing a little magic I know can't fix," Rae laughed as both women walked out of sight in the trees from the bloody scene... ******************** Her breath was cut off roughly before darkness enfolded her. She couldn't see anything for that brief moment and it terrified her. Vision was always still with her even in the dark. But this black void was nothing light could ever hope to penetrate to see. No more than a blink of an eye later than it had started, vision returned to the frightened woman in the form of a dark room filled with red light. Nariko gasped as she was tossed to the hard stone floor like the disposing of trash. The impact hurt her ribs slightly as she choked and rubbed her sore neck. Her head turned to look hatefully at her captor, but her big orange eyes saw the woman standing above her. The last woman she had expected to see. "L... Lexiss?" the ninja assassin gasped in horror. "But that... that means..." "That means that you're in the presence of the one who commands you and the one you failed," the sexy voice said behind her in cold controlled anger. A shiver of terror like nothing she had ever felt before ran up her spine. Even though her mind screamed at her not to do so, Nariko slowly turned her head around as the fear filled her entire being. Glowing red eyes burning brightly like the fires of hell within the darkness. They were beacons for any onlooker to see the goddess's fury. In one moment she had been safe hidden inside her sister's home and the next she was half-way across the known world at the feet of a wrathful deity. Her mind screamed at her to beg for mercy and another chance to take care of Blaze, but her mouth simply hung open in horror. The words simply wouldn't come in the face of such anger. "Dear... dear Nariko," Koas whispered from the darkness. "You failed me. Not only did you do so, but you hid from me. You cowered away from me in your hideaway even though you knew I summoned your presence for weeks. Dear Nariko... Did you not know how that hurt my feelings? I may have simply wanted to know why you hadn't been able to fulfill your assignment and nothing more..." Slowly those red eyes rose within the darkness as the goddess rose from her throne. The soft sounds of her footfalls on the steps down from her ghastly throne sounded like the massive drums sounding the approach of Nariko's impending doom. As the beautiful goddess crossed into the light, those lavender lips were turned down into dark scowl that made Nariko literally squeak in fright. "But I was angry anyway and you knew it," Koas spat angrily as she walked towards her cowering servant. "The defiance of my summons only infuriated me more, little Nariko. Did you think you could hide from me forever? Foolish girl...." The tall goddess now towered over the ninja woman at her feet. Nariko couldn't help herself as her body visibly quaked for all to see. Shaking her head in disgust, Koas looked up and gave a small smile to Lexiss. "Lexiss has once again proven herself to me to be a reliable servant. Even though it took her a little while, she found you out nonetheless and brought you to me," she hummed with pride. "She even had to work more than necessary and accomplish what you could not. That's right, Nariko. Lexiss killed Blaze for me." Nariko's head raised quickly in astonishment at this news before shooting the shadow mistress a hot glare. But Lexiss had averted her gaze from goddess and ninja, remaining silent. With a wave of her hand and smile, Koas quietly dismissed her avatar. With a bow to her mistress, Lexiss made a quick exit from the room leaving the two of them in agonizing stillness. "So Nariko," Koas finally spoke as she began to circle the ninja. An invisible force suddenly snapped the assassin's head up and lifted her up into the air. Nariko choked off a terrified cry as she floated in the air unable to move. "What punishment should be dealt to you for your disappointments?" Tears began to roll down her cheeks as she shook her head. Koas stopped her circling in front of the floating woman and glanced upwards with those red eyes. "No suggestions? Perhaps I could twist your arms around in your sockets before they popped out? And maybe then I could rip them off your body?" Her orange eyes were as wide as they ever could be in blind terror as her arms lifted into the air horizontal to the ground from the powerful invisible force. She couldn't resist and soon felt her arms turning backwards with the first twinge of pain. "N-no! Please! Mistress Koas! I'm sorry! I beg of you! Please NOOOO!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs as her arms turned a little bit further and the pain increased. "What is that? You say 'no' to me? 'No' that I cannot do this to you?" the goddess snapped angrily as she began circling the ninja again. "You know about the Natori pact as well as I do. But what you don't know is that YOU belong to ME! The day you swore allegiance and personal servitude to me, you walked right through the loophole of that promise. We gods cannot harm mortals anymore, but we may do whatever we wish to our own personal servants!" Koas stopped in front of the shaking, crying woman she held up with just the slightest bit of her immeasurable power. "So I can do to you whatever I please. I could spill your guts right here and now while keeping you alive before healing you to do it all over again!" That was the last straw as terror fully seized the helpless Nariko as she shrieked and cried uncontrollably while struggling with all her might. Koas scowled as she let the woman become frenzied with the fear and knowledge that goddess could destroy her mortal body easily in any horrible fashion she so chose. Before Nariko went insane from the panic, Koas decided her point had been made and stepped up to the howling female. SLAP!!! The screaming ceased instantly with the loud crack of the slap Koas landed across Nariko's cheek. The quieted ninja woman whimpered from the stinging blow as she was lowered to the ground. Koas sneered down at Nariko as the assassin crumpled to her knees. "Consider that part of your punishment, dear Nariko," she smiled darkly with promise of what could have been. "Now I have a mission for you to complete for me to prove your worthiness to serve me once more. Fail to succeed and all that I described that could be done to you will seem like a pleasant experience compared to what I will really do!" Nariko kneeled before the deity with her head slumped low in obedience. "Yes, my mistress. Thank you for your mercy and this second chance. What is it you wish for me to do for you?" Koas smirked evilly, "My army is in need of a cavalry...." ******************* The pain was gone. No longer did he hear its wicked whisper and promise of unending pain long after his death. Instead he now dreamed. Waves crashed in the distance and he could smell the salt in the air. He looked down upon his home village once again, but this time it was there. Everything was peaceful as children ran about the streets in play. He could hear their cries of joy and play from where he stood. "Still always finding trouble aren't you, young Richard?" The boy Richard had been blinked and looked behind him to see the old man sitting in his usual spot of meditation underneath the shade of the massive tree. He grinned and went over to sit beside his master who had always been there to train him. He wasn't a massive man like Blaze had always heard heroes were supposed to be like. But this old man's body was hard as iron and still as deadly. His hair was cut short in the military style and fully grey. His master had a full grey beard that Blaze often thought about growing one himself when he became a man one day. He wanted to be so much like the man he had grown up to admire. "Listen to me Richard," his master said with a sigh as he looked down to his young protégé. "I have taught you much over these last few months. There is still much I have yet to teach you. I will pass on to you all my knowledge I gained as a soldier and wandering warrior. Knowledge I obtained from studying with many different masters of their own styles. You'll become a great warrior when I have finished. But there is one lesson that is more important than anything else I can teach you." "What is it master?" the boy asked. "There comes a time in every person's existence when they are faced with the grim harshness of life and begin to doubt. This cannot be truer for the life of a fighter. In everything I have and will teach you Richard, there will come a day when it will still fail you," his master said as surely as he believed the sun would rise the next day. Those steel grey eyes fixed on Blaze's and immediately silenced the protest forming in the boy's mouth. Grey eyes that had seen too many hard times and too few good ones. Looking back to the ocean, his master continued. "No matter how great you become there will always be someone out there that is better. You will be defeated and suffer a blow to your confidence more painful than any physical blow can inflict. This becomes the defining moment in what will define you as a man. As you doubt your abilities and believe yourself a failure, will you give up and go home? Or will you stand your ground and learn from your defeat? Learn from it and gain strength in confidence in your abilities?" Blaze stared in wide-eyed awe at the depth of the meaning his master was trying to press to him with this message. He nodded that he understood what his master was telling him. "A man who gives up in the face of adversity has already suffered defeat before any final blow is struck," the old man said and turned his gaze to the boy sitting next to him. "Such is true for a warrior or any other person in their life. When that time comes, will you give up Richard?" "Never, master." "Good boy," the old warrior smiled to his student. "You continue to make me proud Richard. Remember that in the future. You always have made me proud and always will..." The old man's voice faded away. When Blaze looked from the sea back to that gruff voice, the young warrior was a man once more staring at the grave marker of his teacher in the spot the old man always sat. The wind blew gently across the ground as the only sound. "Never give up..." Blaze whispered. Swiftly his vision faded into blackness. He groaned as his body felt sore and heavy. His body! He could feel himself again! Slowly his eyes opened, squinting at the bright light that filled his sight. In his blurry vision, he saw a face he remembered. Though still blurry to his eyes, he could see that tanned skin and bright hair that he knew all too well. "Kendra?" he said, finding his voice hoarse and a just a whisper. "No," answered a completely unfamiliar voice. Confused, he shook his head slightly as his vision began to clear. What he saw damn near put him into a coma! He knew that many of the other women were very beautiful. But none could equal Kendra's sensual exoticness. The only one who had come close was Sonora. The young warrior now stared speechlessly at Kendra's true equal in beauty. Mysterious amber colored eyes stared into his. Beautiful tanned skin like a soft bronze. A lighter tone than Kendra's. Long silvery hair framed an exquisite face like nothing he had seen before. She was shear elegant beauty. Even with her pointed ears... Blaze's jaw dropped open in shock as his eyes bolted right back to those pointy ears with realization. An ELF! "W-who are you?" he groaned as he tried to sit up, finding such a movement extremely difficult. It felt like he had a massive boulder sitting on his chest. "Where am I?" The elegant elf put her hand to his chest and only had to press lightly to push him back down. He was so weak that he couldn't resist even if he tried. With his head resting comfortably back on the pillow as he looked this woman over more closely this time. The hand that rested gently on his chest now was encased in a glove that extended halfway up to her elbow. A quick glance revealed that her other hand bore the same glove as well. Sitting close to the bed with her legs crossed, boots extended up those lovely limbs past her knees to mid-thigh. What really blew his mind was her dress! It was a single piece dress that extended down shapely hips in a skirt. The cloth flared out from her shoulders straight in a fashion like Tyra's pauldrons. But what made his eyes nearly pop out of his skull was her torso! The dress was split open down the middle in a 'V' shape. The bronzed cleavage of her chest was bared for all to see as the material on both sides strained against her large breasts. It drew his gaze painfully down her smooth cleavage and belly before terminating right where it reached her golden belt. All of the cloth was the same color as her lustrous silver hair and embroidered in places with gold. Kendra was perfect sensuousness. This elf was perfect elegance. "You're in my home in the eastern forests of Solomon, Blaze. Your friends brought you here to me as I was the last chance to heal what they could not," she said to him calmly. All his mind could think was what a babe! Wow! "Some call me the Silver Enchantress. But my real name is Callista Malthenniel." "A pleasure to meet you, Callista," he grinned, still amazed he was seeing and talking to a real life elf! One of the legendary elves! "I guess it's quite obvious that you cured me. Thank you. I don't really think I want to know what was done to me, but why do I feel so damn weak?" Soft lips smiled warmly to him as those amber eyes seemed to look into his very soul. "You lost a significant amount of blood, Blaze. You were lucky you didn't die from that alone. But your spirit needs time to recover as your body replenishes the blood it needs. Now you need to continue to rest and regain the strength you've lost young human." He started up again. He was about to protest and ask about the others when her hand rose from his chest to touch his forehead. He felt a warm pleasant feeling of sleepiness wash over him. His eyes closed as his head dropped back. The young warrior was asleep before his head landed upon the pillow. Over the next few days he stayed within the confines of the room. Callista made it clear that he was not allowed to leave. It was obvious that she had forbidden any of his friends to enter the room. When he asked why he couldn't see them, she stated that it was simply because he was still too weak and seeing his friends may prove to be too much excitement for him to handle yet. While feeling unsure about it, he trusted the elven sorceress. She had saved his life after all. Throughout much of this time, he slept a great deal. Whenever he woke, he saw Callista was there by his bedside. She was always there. The Silver Enchantress stayed by his bedside in almost continuous watch over him. During this time spent alone together, they talked quite a bit. Though a bit quiet at first, as if conversation were an uncomfortable action for her, Callista soon inquired about him. The sorceress wanted to know where he was from and what it was like. She was curious about how he had ended up becoming the companion of a succubus instead of being consumed by the demoness. Blaze felt comfortable in telling the beautiful elf the story of what had happened so far, having to come to like Callista. It was nearing the end of the third day of their time together when he finally asked what he'd been pondering about for a while. "Callista, can I ask you something?" "Of course, Blaze," she answered with a small smile. He sat up and pushed himself back to lean against the bed's headboard. His strength was slowly but surely returning to him as she had promised. "I've noticed that there seems to be no one else here but you. Do you really live here alone?" Blaze blinked when she nodded slightly and pressed further. "But why? You're incredibly beautiful. Surely there are male elves lined at the door wanting to be with you." Callista averted her gaze silently to the floor. She looked like she was sad and Blaze instantly regretted asking. Damn it! I went too far, he cursed himself. "I'm alone... because I'm different," she whispered softly, interrupting his forming apology. The sorceress's gaze remained centered on the floor. "Different?" the young human blinked and scratched his head in bewilderment. "You look like an elf to me. Just like the legends my people say of your race." Those amber eyes glanced up to him as her small smile returned. "Thank you, Blaze." The young man blinked, wondering why he was being thanked. The sorceress leaned back into the chair and turned her eyes towards the ceiling with a faraway look. "I'm not like the other elves. Elves in Solomon all have fair pale skin that never changes over time. None look as I do." "Why would that make any difference with elves? Just like with my race, despite the differences of skin color we are humans all the same." "I wish it was that simple," she sighed softly. "Even though it has quieted down over the past few centuries, the ancient war between elf and drow is still ongoing. A natural distrust of any elf that looks different than normal has evolved out of such conflict. It's worse because no elf has ever looked like I do. Not even grey elves, the offspring between drow and surface elves, look as I do." Blaze snorted and shrugged. "You look perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned. Actually... Very 'fine' to be truthful!" His compliment drew another small smile from the sorceress and even a laugh. "My aren't we a clever boy with words! Thank you again...... But it gets worse. Ever since my youth I have displayed potential for great power. A power coming from a bottomless well as far as I can tell. Such made me stronger than the elder elven sorcerers. They and everyone else grew to fear me. Thus I became an outcast of my society." "If I may ask," Blaze started carefully and continued at her approving nod, "Where were your parents in all of this?" "Father was always there for me, Blaze. As far as he was concerned, there was nothing wrong with me. What he saw was that the other elves were those who were wrong. I eventually learned that father was different from the rest as well. He wanted to make peace with the drow and end the war that never seemed to have an end in sight. I, with my unusual looks and magic, was the last straw for the elves and both of us were shunned from society." "And your mother?" The Silver Enchantress blinked at his sudden question and glanced out the window with a pained look. "I never knew her. She died during my birth. Father always told me about how beautiful she was and how much of her he could see in me. What I learned from him was that mother shared his beliefs in the war and that she was a kind woman with a fierce passion for life. So father and I moved out here and built this home. But a few years later, he was killed by a flash flood while fishing in one of the rivers." "I'm sorry," he whispered. "But from what I can see, I believe they'd both be proud of who you've become." "I would like to think so," she said wistfully. "I've tried my best to continue to be kind to others even though they fear me. Some, though suspicious, come to me for help in curing ailments or physical problems. I'm always glad to help. Just like I was with you. Speaking of help, it's time you get more rest!" Always the obstinate patient, Blaze started to protest. The young human the blinked wide in surprise as he felt her soft lips press against his cheek. Instantly a wave of sleepiness hit him like the last time and he was soon asleep. It was two days later when Callista finally allowed the others to come into the room one by one to visit. Tyra came in first and was a towering pillar of reassuring warmth. The beautiful gargoyle sat with him for a while, simply talking and asking how he was doing. Nadine had literally bounded into the room and leapt into the bed. The furry woman curled up tightly against him with a tight grip as she cried into his shoulder. They simply held each other and took comfort in each other's presence. Blazing Glory Ch. 08 Rae was a whole different story. Callista left the room as she had with the other two, leaving him alone with Death's Mistress. Blaze would have smiled but he sensed an uncomfortable silence emanating from the drowess. Quietly she lowered her hood and strode over to his bedside. The young warrior was about to ask if something was wrong when her hand shot out and seized his throat in a crushing grip. "Rae....?" he choked. The drowess's red eyes glared darkly down at him as her lips trembled with fury. "Let me make one thing clear, Patron. You may hurt me in any form that you wish. In some ways I may enjoy the pain as I am drow..." His breathing wheezed as the powerful Matron Mother slowly lifted him from the bed by the neck with her one arm. "But I never... NEVER... I never want to see that woman go through what she had to when she thought she was going to lose you. Kendra's pain was beyond words. IF you ever go and die on us during this quest, I will personally kill myself so I can find and kick your vithing ass all over the Abyss!" Blaze was at a loss for words. Not that he could have said anything if he wanted to! The blue faced warrior managed a nod of his head before he was dropped back into bed. He coughed and rubbed at his throat as he was bewildered by Rae's actions. And had Kendra really been that grief-stricken over him? The drowess sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to caress his cheek with her dark hand. "I'm sorry, Blaze........ It's just that when I saw you sitting there, the memory of her suffering came back to me so vividly that I lost my temper. I know you have no intentions of dying on us. Just please try and be more careful. Because I lied...." The drowess smiled sadly to him when she saw more confusion in his eyes. Her obsidian fingers gently caressed the outline of his face as tears led single trails down her dark cheeks. "I can take just about any pain, but I can't take the pain of losing you. I thought myself tough enough to be able to withstand the loss of another Patron, but I was wrong." Seeing Rae in one of her rare moments of opening up, he wrapped his arms about the teary-eyed assassin and pulled her close. The drowess crushed her dark lips against his as they embraced each other tightly. Dark elf and human simply kissed each other deeply for a while after that. Rae was the one to tell him all that had happened over the last week in the journey to finding this place, including the encounter with the pack of hellhounds. Callista had set up a spell to render her home and them invisible to the demons' senses for the time being after learning of their hunt for her. Blaze took all this in clearly, but didn't miss the hint of hatred in Rae's voice whenever she mentioned the Silver Enchantress. It was getting towards evening when the last and most dear member to Blaze came to visit. The door quietly opened and her head peeked inside, green emeralds immediately focusing on him with undeniable relief. Callista stood from her seat by his bedside and waved to Kendra that it was fine to come inside. "I will leave you two alone now," the exquisite elf said as she moved towards the door. Kendra shook her head and closed the door behind her. "No. It's fine, Callista. It's only right that you be able to stay as you saved him. You're as much a part of this as I am." The Silver Enchantress stopped and smiled slightly to the demoness. The sorceress sat back down beside the bed as Kendra slowly moved to him. The succubus eyed Blaze nervously as she approached; as if afraid her very presence jeopardized his recovering health. Blaze had never seen Kendra like this before. Had his near death really affected her so much? Had she suffered so greatly that her usual display of sensual confidence was completely undone? Kendra's leather creaked softly as she sat down by his side on the bed. Her hand immediately found his and gripped it with tender warmth. Both lovers gazed into each other's eyes quietly for a time. Blaze found himself once again amazed that such a beautiful creature was with him as those green eyes gazed down into his very soul. A single tear formed at the edge of one before sliding down soft almond-brown skin. "Come here, tiger," Kendra whispered softly. The young man was only too eager to comply as he leaned forward to kiss the exotic beauty by his side deeply. Those soft vanilla lips met his hungrily as her tongue darted out to lovingly caress his. Both lovers shared the intimate kiss for a few moments before breaking it at the same time. They leaned back from each other and shared small smiles. Blaze was the first to glance away and remembered that Callista was present. When he glanced her way, he was surprised to see the bronze skinned elf looking at them both with an odd look in those amber eyes. When he cleared his throat embarrassedly, the look disappeared as Callista smiled to both of them. Having them so close, Blaze could see why he mistook Callista for Kendra in his feverish state. Both women had beautiful darkened skin tons with Kendra's being the darker. The opposite was so for the elf's silvery hair compared to the demoness's bright vanilla locks. Still, such minor differences didn't stop him from thinking they could be sisters! To his knowledge, they had to be the two most beautiful women in the world. "Thank you so much Callista," Kendra smiled brightly to the woman beside her. "I don't know if there is ever anything I can do to repay you for keeping him here with me." Callista raised her hand in small dismissal. "It was nothing really. I was more than happy to assist you. There is no need for repaym....." Kendra and Blaze blinked as the sorceress stopped in mid-word and gasped. Her body seized up and straightened as if someone had dropped a sliver of ice down her back. The startled guests watched with sudden worry as the elf's eyes rolled up to where they could only see the whites of her eyes. With an eerie echo that rang in her voice, the Silver Enchantress spoke. "Out of darkness he shall come nigh and to glory he will ascend on high; Yet hindrances he will face anon, And with failure all hope be gone. An ordeal of those close by his side, In them his faith essentially reside; Though weary and worn his body from strife, fierce heart never waiver to keep his life. To him the serpent will hiss many a lie, In its servants truth he must espy. Though the path to be taken will be clear, Will he choose with the honor he holds so dear. These trials he must traverse to destiny, One misstep will plunge the world into misery." Callista slumped back into her chair as her ambers returned to gaze at them. When she saw their bewildered looks, she looked confused at first before realization lighted her eyes. "Dear heavens..." she whispered, "I am sorry if that frightened you. Can you please tell me what I said?" Blaze stared in open-mouthed shock at the elf. Kendra rolled her eyes and used one finger to push his hanging jaw closed. Fortunately the succubus had always had an outstanding memory and recited what the Silver Enchantress word for word. Callista listened intently until the demoness was finished before shaking her own head with a sigh. "It seems more hard times lie ahead for you Blaze," the elegant beauty said as her ambers fixed on him. "It's one of my cursed abilities. My magic sometimes takes the form of foretelling. These prophecies often frightened people when I was younger because they always came true. It seems soon you will face situations that will test your worthiness to continue on." Kendra looked at the sorceress in dismay, shaking her head slowly with the disbelief of this revelation. It had been bad enough that she'd nearly lost him. Now Richard was already set to face certain troubles in the future? She had simply hoped they could quickly kill the four generals of Koas and go back to Kyros to live a quiet, peaceful life with him. Why couldn't the fates let her live such a blissful existence with him? Blaze himself sighed in resignation and understanding. When one was on an adventure, there was always trouble around every turn. He knew evil would come for him again and again after he woke up from his curse-induced coma. But that didn't shake his resolve to face whatever came defiantly. He would never give in and never lose again! Still, he looked to the sorceress as she talked with Kendra on how he and the succubus met. She was an elegant beauty a man would fall madly in love with instantly. He liked her well enough. She possessed an aura around her that demanded respect. The elf was also very serene in attitude like an ocean at peace with very small waves lapping at the shore. Callista even harbored motherly warmth that made him like her instantly. Yet she was a sorceress. A wielder of magic. An invisible force that she had used within his own body and soul. Such a thought made his skin crawl and a shiver run up his spine. But it had saved his life hadn't it? Magic couldn't be so bad after all then could it? Then there was Rae to consider. He had always thought of her as a skilled warrior and assassin. Rarely had he remembered her dark magical talents as well. But hadn't the drowess healed his damaged body as well through her magic? He cared for Rae more than an uneasiness of magic. He wouldn't let such get in the way of their close friendship. Blaze then looked to Callista and wondered. Then why should the Silver Enchantress be any different? She'd been outcast from her own people who felt the same fears he did. Such fear of this kind, beautiful elf was simply foolish! Callista noticed the young warrior gazing at her oddly and gave him a quick small smile before looking back to Kendra as they talked. Eventually Blaze joined in on the conversation, often making jokes that would make both women laugh and smile. On into the early evening the three talked and grew to know each other better before the conversation came to an end. It was nearing time for dinner and Callista had some food to prepare for them all. Kendra helped him out of bed, but Blaze found his strength near fully returned that he could stand and walk about. Though his muscles were a bit sore from lack of use over the past week, he knew another good days rest will put him back into top shape. Stepping out into the common room, he was greeted happily by the others. It was a simple cottage that held a comfortable feel about it. Oddly familiar sites of shelves with herbs and ingredients adorned the shelves like he remembered in Aurora's place. But this home had something more that Aurora had. Flowers and plants decorated the home everywhere and filled the air with the fresh scent of the great outdoors. Apparently it was true when legends spoke of the elves love for nature. It was when they were finishing their meal and cleaning up when Nadine yelped. Everyone looked to the startled catwoman to see her looking at the window. They heard the sharp clicking before they saw it. A black hawk flapped its wings to hover outside the window as it rapped that wickedly sharp break against the window. "Oh! Don't worry," Callista laughed softly as she walked to the window and opened it. Everyone backed away quickly as the fierce bird of prey flew into the room and landed in a perch on top of one of the chairs. "It's Cyrus, a personal message carrier of the Queen of the Elves. Also an old friend." All of them watched with awe as the elf approached the large hawk and pet its head gently. Cyrus in turn nipped at her fingers gently with its beak in an affectionate manner. Callista reached down and removed the small piece parchment. Breaking what looked to be a royal seal and unfolding it, her amber eyes scanned over the words. "Interesting," she hummed to herself before looking up. Her eyes blinked wide as she saw all of them looking at her expectantly and blushed. "It seems I have been invited to a ball celebrating the Queen's birthday and centennial year under her rule." The elf then sighed and placed the invitation on the table shaking her head, "I am surprised I was even thought of. But I can't. I'll just cause unneeded tension during the celebration." "Horseshit!" Blaze startled everyone out of the silence that had followed her words, especially Callista. He dismissed her doubts with a wave of his hand and moved over to the sorceress. He placed both hands on her shoulder, causing her to stiffen in further surprise. His eyes gazed right into her own with an intensity that she hadn't expected to be there. "I don't care what they say and what they have led you to believe about yourself. Yes you may be different. But you're special, not an abomination. You should go if the Queen would like you to be there and enjoy yourself." All uncertainty that had welled up within her soon melted away from the assuring warmth in his gaze. She smiled to him and then others before nodding. "Alright. I will go. And I would like all of you to attend it with me. From what I gathered in talking to Kendra, you all need to head west anyway. West is where the capital and the Queen is. I would love it if you all could come with me." Blaze blinked as he listened to the Silver Enchantress. What she said made sense in that it was in the general direction that they were heading. He liked Callista and would like to enjoy her company as long as he could. Shooting a glance towards Kendra, he noticed the succubus nod her head in approval of this plan. Looking back to the elf, he nodded that they would accompany as she requested and was rewarded with a brilliant smile. They all called it a night shortly after that to ready themselves for the beginning of the journey to the capital of Solomon. He was quick to learn that the bed he had rested in was Callista's but the elf insisted he rest there still. As the others went outside to their camp, the elven sorceress told Kendra she could sleep beside Blaze the night while she stayed in the chair beside them to keep watch and make sure Blaze's health didn't take a turn for the worse. Kendra was more than happy to hear this and fell asleep quickly with her arm draped possessively across his chest as usual. It took Blaze quite a while longer as he felt the beautiful elf's eyes on the both of them together in bed for a long while before finally succumbing to sleep. ******************** The gloom of the eastern forestlands of Nealon permeated everything. Even the animals that lived here looked to have a foul attitude in the way they went about their everyday lives for survival. Most of them were tough animals that had to adapt to the harsh environment or face extinction. Trees leaned half-hazardly against each in place while others simply couldn't be supported anymore and lay upon their sides dead as a result. Bogs and swamps littered the forest making it land all about a treacherous maze exhibiting a foul odor. Through it all a lone figure leapt from tree branch to tree branch in with unequaled precision that made it look as if it were flying instead of jumping. Nariko kept a careful orange colored eye on the ground in search of her targets. Fully wrapped in her dark ninja garb, she blended in well with the dark tree tops high above but didn't want to afford any risks in dropping her guard. If she failed in this.... The ninja shivered in renewed terror. She wouldn't fail! No matter what, she would do anything to succeed! The ninja seized up suddenly and halted on a thick branch. Quickly flattening herself up against the tree trunk, the assassin glanced around the trunk below her to what grabbed her attention. Sprawled out in a large makeshift town below were those that she had been sent to find. It was the size of a town spread out among the trees, but made of tents in evidence that these were a nomadic people. The people that would form the cavalry that Koas needed. At first Nariko hadn't believed what Koas said these people were, but she was shocked at what she saw was true as Koas described. A cough and coarse spit drew here attention directly below. A man stood above the bushes as the liquid sound filled her ears. The putrid scent of his urine reached her and she stifled herself from gagging audibly lest she reveal her position. The man had a muscular torso and looked like any other human. It was when he finished and moved away from the bushes that it became clear of her goddess's intentions. Trotting away from where he pissed in the bushes, the centaur made his way back towards the encampment at a steady clop. Nariko's eyes watched the legendary creature half-man, half-horse move further away from her. Such a cavalry would prove invaluable to Koas. Cavalries were formidable in their own right. But what could be more naturally comfortable than a man on a horse. A centaur! Being naturally as they were, they could gallop about with as little thought as a human does when running and battle at the same time. With a swiftness that contained very little sound, the ninja used her claws to crawl down the tree with the ease of a squirrel. Upon reaching the ground, she was soon darting from shadow to shadow. Often seeking the cover of bushes and thick trees, Nariko was soon deeply infiltrated into the centaur camp. Koas had informed her to make her way to the largest tent in the center where she would find their chief. She had easily spotted it from her position up in the tree and drew closer to it now. Upon reaching it, she lifted the flap at the back of the tent and crawled quickly inside. She found out soon enough that this tent wasn't as dark as she had wished it to be. The front entrance flap was open, allowing light to spill inside. Standing quietly within was the centaur she was looking for. He was a big one for his race. Long flowing blonde hair cascaded down his back in a wild mane as well about the massively muscular chest that even made her body ache with desire. She didn't doubt if she touched those muscles that they would be rock hard. His horse body was no less impressive in its huge size. It looked like it belonged to a warhorse of elite caliber. Silently she stood and observed the centaur chief lost in thought as he smoked a pipe. "Acrois," she said in announcing herself. Acrois glanced up quickly in shock of her sudden appearance within his tent unescorted. Nariko smirked beneath her facemask, taking pleasure at the sight of his surprise and displeasure at having been caught off guard. With a frown, the massive centaur tapped out the contents of his pipe and stomped the hot material out with a hoof. "So the ambassador of Koas came as the messenger had promised," his deep voice sighed. Arms folding across those big pectorals, he fixed her with intense blue eyes. "So let's hear it. But before you speak, take off your mask. Let there be no secrets between us in my tent." Not wanting to risk failure early on by upsetting him, she complied by removed her ninja garb's hood. His blue eyes studied her features curiously as she shook her short blue hair about to get the tangles out. "I am here on the behalf of Koas to invite you to join her forces in the destruction soon to come," she stated simply. Acrois looked taken aback at this request and mulled it over for a few tense moments as Nariko waited fearfully in silent dread of him saying no. Looking back down to his pipe in longing to use it as he thought it over, he finally shrugged and looked to the ninja. "And why should I include my tribe in her forces?" Nariko sighed in relief as he left the opening she had been waiting for and in which Koas had anticipated. She then spoke what Koas instructed her to. "Why to get revenge of course!" An equine snort and stomp of his hoof as he looked to her suspiciously. "Revenge?" "Yes. On those of old who outcast your people. Those who enjoy the fertile lands on the other side of the Boaz Wall," She said with a knowing smile, watching him stiffen further with every word as the ancient hatred rose within him. "Those that outcast your ancestors for having bestial relationships with wild horses. They were disgusted with your ancestors and the resulting offspring. They couldn't stand the sight of your people and cast you away like a soiled rag."

Chapter 9 - Leviathan Nightmare In the land of Nealon, the ever burning fires of the volcanic mountains glowed in the nighttime sky in the distance. Yet their luminous fury paled in comparison to the inferno raging upon the top of the castle, home to the Mistress of Discord. Above on the roof, those familiar red eyes of Koas were no longer as they glowed white hot in her anger. Her fingers tightly gripped the rough stone terrace edge as she looked down over her destructive lands. HE was ALIVE! Her teeth ground in anger as she wanted unleash another ear-splitting shriek with the thought. But she kept herself in check this time. The first result of the scream had resulted in the complete bloody destruction of the hellhound demon giving the message. His guts lay piled in places while hanging in others while dripping blood. Her throne room had been covered in gruesome parts and blood as he literally exploded from her tantrum. Luckily for those near her, she regained control of her temper before blowing her castle and surrounding area into oblivion. The hellhound was of no consequence to her as he had been her servant through swearing of allegiance. She could destroy her whole army if she wished by their sworn word to serve her and forfeiture of the protection of the Natori pact. They knew such and would be driven by fear to not fail her. As with her thoughts returned to the failure of Blaze's demise, she thought of Lexiss who had just left her presence. She had summoned her shadow mistress immediately to demand answers for his presence still among the living. Lexiss had been in no doubt completely shocked to hear Blaze being reported in good health. Her servant quickly assured her fuming mistress that she had successfully employed the curse of spirit necrosis on him with her shadow touch. She vividly described how she could still easily remember the feeling of tearing into his insides before the seed of the curse implanted. Koas had believed Lexiss. The look of disbelief at the revelation and then conviction of her words convinced the goddess that the truth was being told. Even then, Koas didn't think she could bring harm to her personal avatar. Lexiss was like a daughter to her. The shadow mistress was actually a part of herself to be true. She had created Lexiss from a part of her own being and made the shadow mistress into her own likeness. Koas smiled slightly in the fond thought of Lexiss before turning back to the matter at hand. With a sigh, she turned to pick up a cloth to wipe the bloody gore off the crystal ball she had brought with her. She tossed the filthy rag aside when done and placed the magical orb on the stone beside her. Having cooled down finally, her glowing red eyes focused intently on the crystal surface as she thought of the source to all her troubles. It took the magical talisman some time to find him as she didn't know his exact whereabouts at the moment. Only that he and his cursed friends were somewhere in Solomon. The images of trees and streams of the elven land flashed in its search before finally coming to a sudden halt. Her target came to view swiftly as the human slept soundly off the beaten path they traveled. The succubus had him wrapped in her arms as she slept beside him with the others resting about them. Clearly all were in good health. How? How could Blaze have survived a curse meant to destroy his very soul? When she thought about it, the answer came swiftly to mind as it didn't take a genius to have to figure it out. Blaze and his friends had been there in Riodanol during the attack. So had been the Silver Enchantress. It was too much to be a mere coincidence that both should be in the same place at the same time. Stavros would have known that the Silver Enchantress would be one of only a select few in the world who could remove such a curse. And the sorceress happened to be the closest one. The question as to why the elven sorceress had been in Riodanol was easily answered as well. She would have tagged along with Blaze and the others on their journey to keep watch on Blaze's health for any sign of recession. Thus both parties had been in Riodanol at the most inopportune time. Koas desired greatly to shatter the crystal as her anger rose again. The attack on the elves had been vital to her plans. The elven city was to have been decimated and the Queen of the Elves killed gruesomely. Such would result in the complete demoralization and decimation of the elves. Now instead of facing a very weak pest to brush aside, her army would now have to face the might of the elven nation as it is now prepared for the war it knew was coming. It mattered not though as her army was significantly larger than anything the elves could handle. A minor nuisance is all. But Blaze was another matter that needed to be taken care of still. She frowned darkly as she wondered what he was up to. Where was he heading? The view in the crystal soared away from him like an eagle climbing high into the sky, giving her a clear view of the surrounding lands they traveled in. Her eyes focused on what lay immediately south of him. A city right on a body of water. A port on the northern edge of the Sonel Sea. Blaze was heading there as they were south of Riodanol. The evil deity frowned as she was disappointed at this. If they had traveled west, they would likely have encountered where her forces would emerge and be completely destroyed. But now it seems they chose to head south and charter a boat to some destination. The thought came to mind swiftly with that. For the first time in hours her mood improved greatly as that familiar smirk appeared. Of course! Wiping the crystal clean of the image, she summoned the one person in mind who could make her idea happen. The crystal began to glow a deep blue as the eyes of her servant appeared within. The light filled the top of Koas's castle and could be seen from afar as she gave her orders. When the goddess was finished, soft musical laughter filled with madness resonated in the air before fading away with the light of the orb... ******************** Blaze woke up that morning. He had the most disturbing dream. In the darkness he had run from the feeling of being watched by something that sought him out. No matter how hard he ran, he could not escape it until it finally caught up with him. He found himself staring at a pair of glowing red eyes filled with so much malice and hatred that he dropped to his knees in terror, shaking uncontrollably. To his relief, those eyes eventually faded away to be replaced by emerald eyes filled with such kindness and affection. After that he had slept more soundly until he woke. But no matter how hard he tried, he could never forget those dangerous red eyes. He and the others swiftly packed up their travel gear and supplies before moving back on the path to continue on south towards their destination. It turns out that Kendra was familiar with the port they were heading towards as she had been to it many times, though she had never approached it from the north. She had always come by ship to the town in which she said was named Synan. A town the succubus said she found much to satiate her demonic sexual hunger because of its nature. Synan was a cutthroat town. A place of refuge for those of all races running from the law and justice. A haven for both the cruel misbegotten souls and profiteers alike. A town in which Kendra could easily act as a whore to reel in victims. The demoness was firm in her warnings to them to always watch their backs for murderers and keep their hands on their money to stave off pickpockets. Blaze didn't like the sound of this place in the slightest. How were they supposed to find a trustworthy person or crew take them where they wanted in a lawless port? The beautiful demon informed them they were easily with a few hours of reaching the town. Blaze didn't need to be told as he could smell that familiar scent of the sea he had grown up with. After a few hours of walking, they emerged out of the forest directly into a short clearing. Five sets at eyes blinked at what greeted them. Kendra was right. This was the seediest town Blaze had ever seen in his life! All of the buildings were in terrible shape with many of them looking like they were on the verge of collapse. In fact, many had supporting planks of wood propped up against those structures leaning heavily to one side. One storm could easily bring every building in Synan crashing down. Yet every structure still stood while bearing signs of weathering such storms. Raucous laughter spilled out many of the buildings that looked to be taverns inside. Inns were isolated between the numerous drinking pubs. Most of those seen had many scantily dressed women standing outside. Apparently many inns doubled as whorehouses. To Blaze it was a reminder of Whore's Lane in Aidan. Remembering the stomach turning events that occurred there before his meeting with Kendra, he quickly shoved those memories out of his mind. Dangerous riffraff wandered the streets from tavern to tavern. Many eyed them with apprising looks of whether Blaze and his friends were worth murdering and robbing. Others eyed the females with lewd grins as they toyed with the ideas of raping them. Especially when Kendra walking with that ever present air of sensuality about her and mind-blowing sway of her hips. Fortunately, the women with Blaze each had their own fierce look about them that warned most vile men away. All except for one poor human soul who chose to grope Tyra's ass as she passed by. The gargoyle promptly sent the drunken pervert crashing through a nearby building's wall with one solid punch. Most chose to give Blaze's party a wide berth after that. They walked through the streets towards the waterfront portion of the town filled with piers. Blaze was more than happy to move towards the sea. The stench of Synan was beyond horrid and the streets incredibly filthy with trash and excrement, humanoid and animal alike. At least the closer they drew to the piers the smell was gradually overpowered by the scent of salt water. A ramshackle of buildings faced out to the sea stubbornly with their fronts stained by the sea spray. They all drew up to a stop before one of the buildings that looked like a tavern was bustling with activity. "Well," Blaze sighed as he looked to the other women, "If there was ever a place to find a ship's captain, these waterfront taverns would be the place to look. Shall we?" All the women nodded before following him up to the building with a sign above it. Depicted was woman with a fishtail in place of her legs and her large breasts bared. Below read the words "The Busty Mermaid". Blaze grimaced as he hoped they could knock this one out and move on quickly. The name was bad enough, but looking back to his companions he could already see many snide 'busty' jokes being cracked by the tavern patrons. Pushing the door open, he stepped inside. Blaze immediately started coughing as the room was filled with pipe smoke. Such a nasty habit! Clearing his throat, he walked inside and made his way to an empty table by a stairwell. The room grew quieter as the eyes were drawn to him and the ladies but soon the bustle renewed itself to its usual pitch. They had been studied and judged as just more diverse vagrants coming to Synan. Nothing more and certainly nothing important. The women sat down at the table with him as they began scanning the room for potential candidates that looked like sailors. A barmaid strut up to them with her hips swaying and looked down to them all with a haughty frown. Until she saw Blaze that is. A slow smile grew on her face as she arched her back a little more to present him with a nice view of full breasts straining against her low cut dress. "Well hello handsome," she cooed. "Can I get you a drink? Or something else perhaps for your enjoyment? Ditch the bitches so you and I can have a bit of fun." Four pairs of eyes immediately shot towards the barmaid. When she saw the look in all of those eyes, the barmaid yelped and stumbled backwards in fear. Her eyes wildly searched about for an escape route as she swallowed audibly. "Why yes! Five ales it is!" she piped in a shrilly voice before spinning around and speeding off. Whether it was from fear of displeasing the women further or eagerness to be done with them, the barmaid returned quickly with five mugs filled with ale. "Fifteen coppers please," she said as she hastily set the drinks down before them all. Blaze blinked before reaching beneath the table to his own coin pouch and fished out the requested price and more. He drew his hand back up and placed the coins in her hand as she came to him last. "There are fifteen coppers," he said before opening his hand to reveal more coins there. "And ten more if you can tell us where a captain for hire in this room is." The barmaid blinked before noticing the other women were watching her as well. Blaze could tell the woman was beginning to sweat and not just from the building heat of the day. Without saying a word, she looked over to a corner in the room to a dark figure. Blaze followed her gaze and blinked curiously. All of the tavern patrons kept an open space between themselves and the lone figure. He noticed their wary glances directed that way as well. "That is the best ship captain you could ever hope to find here in Synan," the barmaid whispered lowly with a hidden point in the figure's direction. "But I wouldn't ask or even bother that person if I were you." Blaze noted the fear in the woman's voice before nodding and placing the extra coins in her hand. The barmaid moved quickly away as if trying to hide from that figure after disclosing its occupation. Though try as they did, none of them could quite make out the figure through the smoke and throng of bodies. Blaze sighed and looked back to the others, "It looks like I'd better just go ahead and introduce myself..." The others nodded in acquiesce as they watched him rise from his chair. He would say for them to watch his back but already knew they had that taken care of. He trusted each of them. With purpose in his stride, the young human warrior moved through the maze of tables and people. A pair of eyes in that darkness looked up to him when he reached the threshold of where no others would cross. Without hesitating, Blaze continued on towards the lone table until he finally stood before it and the dark figure sitting at it. "You've got guts kid. I like that," the figure spoke after a moment of silence. The lighting was terrible and didn't illuminate the person much at all. "What do you want?" "I and my friends need to charter a ship for safe passage to where we desire to go. I'm told you're the best there is when it comes to the high seas," Blaze answered. "You were told right then," the voice laughed before leaning forward enough to reveal the figure's lower face and full feminine lips curved in a mischievous grin. "Sit down kiddo and let's have it then..." Blaze looked down to the only other chair sitting next to the shadowed woman before taking it and sitting down with her in the darkness. He was slightly nervous at being hidden from the others in the poor light but knew Rae was the one out of all of them that could best see him with her sharp drow eyes. His own eyes began to adjust to the darkness to where he could finally make out who he sat next to as she removed her black wide-brimmed hat with red feathers sticking out of it to be placed on the table. He already knew it was a woman by those lips and rich feminine voice. She was quite a looker too! Deep blue eyes studied him in her own curiosity. A sleeveless white tunic hugged the swells of her breasts and was tucked into loose red leggings fit for a sailor's life at sea. A leather band with pouches stitched into it encircled her right bicep. Leather gloves adorned her hands with the glove fingers cut away for her own to poke through. It reminded him of street fighters he'd seen come to Kyros. He didn't doubt those brown leather fingerless gloves were padded enough to knock his teeth out in a single punch. Long reddish blonde hair cascaded down past her shoulders. Always appreciative of long hair, Blaze studied the attractive feature until his eyes were drawn to a characteristic he couldn't ignore. He stared dumbfounded as he realized this woman wasn't human as she seemed! Her ears! Poking out of that mass of blonde locks was a pair of pale cat-like ears! "It's not polite to stare you know," she said with a knowing grin. Blaze blinked as he was brought out of his shock before blushing profusely. "My apologies! I didn't mean to stare..." The cat-eared woman laughed and waved the matter off with her hand as if it were nothing to matter at all. "It's okay. I'm quite used to it actually. A small trait I get from my mother who was a puma lycan while my father was a human, giving me the rest." "Really?... I honestly didn't know humans and lycans could have children," Blaze said in amazement. "Oh yes they can. Lycans bear enough human physical traits to make it possible," she chuckled before looking across the room. "And by the way your catwoman companion had her eyes on you when she came in, I'd say she wouldn't mind having kids with you." Blaze blinked at this and sat back as the thought hit him. He had never considered the possibilities. Through all of the sex he'd been having with Nadine, could she become pregnant? What about the others? All this time he had been so dimwitted about never thinking about the possibilities. He shook his head away from the thought. It was something he could discuss with them later. His focus needed to be on this woman. The young human extended his open hand to her, "My name is Blaze." She eyed him amusingly at first before taking his hand with her own in a surprisingly strong grip, "A pleasure, Blaze. I'm Marissa. Now that we've exchanged names, let's hear why you are in need of 'safe' passage..." Blaze's breath caught and he cursed himself instantly. He should have been more careful with his words. She could have taken it for anything, but by the way he had said 'safe passage' she knew there was more to this than appeared. By Stavros, should he tell her everything? What was really happening and their mission? Was she trustworthy enough? It was a gamble to be taken for sure as he considered it silently. She was the best ship captain they were looking for. They needed to continue on. Marissa waited expectantly as her blue eyes watched him in growing amusement. He then remembered what his master had said often a long time ago. "Trust always begins with a leap of faith into the unknown. You may land safely or may end up hurt. But trust can never be obtained by doing nothing..." Looking into those deep blue eyes, Blaze hoped this leap he was about to take would land a solid trust between him and Marissa. He then proceeded to explain just about everything that had happened to him when he began his journey. It was a long tale to be told for sure. Time passed along with orders of ale that Marissa bought for them both as she listened with keen interest. When he finished, she remained silent while staring silently into the murky liquid in her mug. Swirling the ale about in consideration, her blue eyes looked up to him finally. Blazing Glory Ch. 09 "An interesting tale you speak, Blaze. But I can tell you're telling the truth. I've seen your type before. Strong willed with a head filled with a sense of honor and to do what is right. How we are so much alike and different at the same time, you and I," she chuckled with a shake of her head. Marissa raised the mug swiftly and drained it like the best professional ale drinker in the world before slamming the empty container down on the table. "Aye then! I will do it. You're in luck, Blaze. I am shipping out this eve' with my crew and as by the looks of the light outside that will be soon. You and your friends gather your things up quickly. Meet me at my ship at the eastern most pier." Blaze nearly sighed audibly in relief before smiling and rising to his feet. "Thank you Marissa." "No, Blaze. Thank you. It was getting boring enough around here anyway. That and I've sensed a change in the wind. A storm is brewing and your tale explains what I've been suspecting. And before you go," she said, standing as she whipped out a long bladed dagger. Blaze looked instantly over his shoulder to see Rae swiftly rising as he knew she would. He quickly raised a hand in assurance to stop the drowess from springing into action. With his friend stayed for the time being, he looked back to Marissa. He swore his jaw dropped off his face to clatter on the table below. Marissa drew the sharp edge across her open palm, opening a slash that wept with her blood. She then looked to him and indicated she wanted his hand. He hesitated and knew what was expected to happen. A leap of faith, he reminded himself as he held out his same hand. She swiftly drew her blade across his palm, the edge slicing into his flesh with a painful bite as his own blood surged forth now. Jamming the blade into the wooden table, she clasped her bloody hand with his. Their blood mingled together as they held their grips. "Blood to seal the deal," she grinned, releasing his hand. She reached into a small bag resting behind her chair to fish out bandages. Marissa tossed him some before wrapping her wounded hand. "You and your friends have a couple hours before needing to be at my ship. Don't be late..." Marissa grinned as she grabbed her bag, dagger and moved towards the door, the patrons moving aside to give her space as she passed. Blaze wondered why everyone seemed to fear her. She had been friendly enough to him. Shaking his head in wonderment, he walked back over to others. "I'll heal that, Blaze," Rae said as she stood with the others. "No," he shook his head as he wrapped the bandage tightly about his right hand. "If she doesn't opt for the same treatment, neither should I. Last thing I want to do is imply weakness by being unable to handle one cut. Something warns me that is the last thing I want to do with that woman." "So what was the result of the meeting then," Tyra asked with a frown. "Marissa has agreed to carry us to where we wish to go. We need to be at the eastern pier soon," he answered. He could see all of them visibly relax at the revelation of the good news. They had all been very tense to see if they could succeed in getting a lift out of this dump of a city as soon as possible. Noticing the lewd glances more and more being directed their way inside the tavern, such concern was warranted. The beautiful ladies were drawing the wrong type of attention and would soon start a frenzied riot of drunken bastards trying to get their hands on them. He could understand their eagerness to leave. The group moved then as swiftly as they could to exit the Busty Mermaid and out into the evening twilight. The group discussed their options of what to do next now that they had a ship to travel upon. Before leaving, Queen Allora told them of an ideal elven town to come ashore on as it was very close to the Great Boaz Wall as well as the dwarves. Most seafaring folk were familiar with the small elven port on the western side of the Sonel Sea. From there they would find the dwarves to lead them through the tunnels and caverns to the other side where Koas rules. There they would try to find the goddess's generals as stealthily as they could and kill them. As they drew closer to the eastern side of the port of Synan, their gazes were drawn from time to time to a sight that made them wonder as they conversed. It was clearly the largest vessel in port and tied to the dock. Three masts adorned its structure with the largest being a massive beam of wood able hoist three sails vertically. On the back was an extended portion with what looked like glass windows. An expensive commodity for a sea faring traveler to be sure. What confused Blaze was the number of square etches in the side that looked like cutouts for windows that weren't finished. Odd... Blaze blinked as he looked up at the impressive vessel as they walked down to the dock towards it. Glancing ahead, he saw her familiar blonde hair flaming red in the setting sunlight. Above her, crewmen were hauling on a rope and pulley system to lift a large crate nestled in a net. The crate swayed to the side and bumped into the side of the ship roughly. Marissa quickly became furious and shook her fist up at her crewmembers as Blaze and his friends drew close to her. "Careful with that cackle fruit ye bloody fools or I'll keelhaul all of yer asses!" Marissa screamed. "And I wanted this crate of limes aboard yesterday! The last thing I need is all yer bloody asses getting scurvy! Move it!" "Aye Cap'n Red!" they answered in renewed effort. BAM!!!! The whole dock shook with the impact and drew Marissa's attention away. She saw four women near her looking down at a familiar man who seemed to have fallen flat on his face. Chuckling softly, the half-lycan moved over to them. "Careful of the planks that stick up a bit. They can trip you easily as you can see." Blaze groaned face down into the wood as he couldn't believe what he'd heard those men say. That was what had made him miss a step and crash face first into the wood. Damn his face was smarting! Staggering to his feet, he peered out at Marissa with one eye through his hand holding his face. "Red! As in THE Captain Red?" he asked incredulously. All of the others, including Kendra, looked at him with confusion. They didn't know, he realized. Not surprising really. Even Kendra in all her time in the world hadn't spent much time by the seas. But to those that lived by the sea like Blaze had in Kyros, everyone knew of Captain Red. The most infamous pirate there was. The most cunning mind at sea that no rival pirate captain and government navy could kill. And when one eventually got lucky and captured Red, the notorious pirate always managed to somehow get away mysteriously. So frustrated were other pirates and the navy that they apprehended innocents before realizing they had the wrong person when reports came in of Captain Red striking somewhere else. Marissa Red placed a hand on her cocked hip as she grinned proudly, "Aye, Blaze. I'm that Captain Red. When you hired the best in Synan, you were really hiring the best of the high seas." Blaze turned to the others and gave them a brief explanation of who Captain Red was and the legend behind her. When he was done, the ladies looked to Marissa with a newfound measure of respect. The notorious pirate simply grinned and gave a flourish of a bow. "All that is said is true. But I can't take all of the credit..." she laughed. Blaze blinked at that last statement but the pirate continued on as she looked to him. "I'm impressed with your knowledge of me Blaze..." Blaze blushed slightly and scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Well to be truthful, I wanted to know everything there was to know about you when I was real young. Before my dreams of adventuring, I longed for a time to become a pirate on your crew sailing the seas." "Well now you get your chance, dear Blaze," she laughed and smiled to him mischievously. "And perhaps you'll get to learn even more about me on this trip. Welcome aboard the Crimson Dawn." Blaze and his friends looked up to the massive pirate ship before following the notorious pirate up the gangplank onto the deck. The ship was bustling like the tavern they had recently left. Pirates milled all about busily with their tasks of loading the needed supplies, sharpening cutlasses, or wiping the deck. Seeing ropes tied to a railing and dangling overboard, Blaze curiously looked over to see pirates tied to the other end as they vigorously worked to remove visible barnacles on the lower part of the ship. From the drunken lot he heard pirates could be, this crew seemed to be very efficient in what they did. "You will be staying below not far from my own quarters," Marissa was saying when his attention returned. "And don't worry about these worthless lots I have for a crew. They know full well how to properly treat guests. Especially when it comes to treating women on my ship with the utmost respect." Nadine mewed softly as she eyed and dangling rope over her that was swaying enticingly for her to swat at. "Is there anything we can do to help?" the near-hypnotized catwoman asked. "No," Marissa said with a shake of her head as she led them to a bolted door leading into the back end of the Crimson Dawn. "Please forgive me, but I will not put guests to work on my ship. It wouldn't be proper now would it? Besides, Blaze will be the one to work in payment for this journey of yours." Blaze drew up to a halt and blinked, "Huh?" Marissa turned about as she opened the door to let the other ladies through. She chuckled and smiled to him. She bent down to pick up a brush and bucket of water before thrusting it into his arms. "Aye. Work. You can start by swabbing the poop deck. Come see me when you are finished." Kendra looked over her shoulder to him uncertainly before giving him a small helpless shrug. The captain's orders were the captain's orders after all. What could she do? Marissa gave him a wink before pulling the door shut behind her as she stepped inside, leaving him alone. He stood there numbly with his brush and bucket as he couldn't believe what had just transpired. Poop deck?... Oh... shit..... ******************** To the fortune of the dismayed young warrior, he found out that the 'poop deck' wasn't what he feared. A big burly man pointed it to him as the highest deck on the ship at the stern. It was above Captain Red's quarters. For the rest of the evening, Blaze set about working hard, shirtless and on his hands and knees. He scrubbed the deck with the soapy water and brush to clean it of dirt and trash acquired by the boots of the crew while at port. The sky was in the burning flames of brightly lit clouds against the coming dusk. Much to the surprise of the crew, he had finished the broad expanse by himself in only a few hours. Wiping the pouring sweat from his brow, Blaze happily tossed the scrub into the bucket with a splash. Lugging the sloshing liquid down the stairs to the main deck, he grunted and placed the heavy water-filled bucket down by the door. He silently hoped Marissa wasn't getting impatient waiting on him. The last thing he needed to do was infuriate one of the best pirates in the world. Opening the door, he stepped inside the cooler shade of the hallway lit by a few tightly sealed lanterns. He had just closed the door and turned to the hallway when he bumped into someone. He nearly jumped out of his skin in surprise as nearly did the other person. "Oh! Bloody Hell.... Sorry Blaze. I was just coming to check.... on.... you..." Marissa said as her words trailed off as those deep blue eyes looked at him. The young man blinked as his apology stopped halfway to his tongue as he noticed her odd gaze. Looking down at himself, he nearly yelped in true Nadine fashion! He'd forgotten his shirt was hanging over the railing on the upper deck outside. And he was here in front of Captain Red with no shirt on and sweat dripping down his chest. He couldn't help but notice her tongue lick her lips slightly as her gaze lingered for a moment before looking up into his eyes. He began to fold his arms across his chest in an effort to cover himself properly but she stayed the motion with her hand on his right arm. "No. It's fine Blaze," she chuckled with that likable grin, "The other men work often without their shirts as well. So don't worry. Besides, it looks like we need to get you working on that sailor's tan.... And I mean often..." Blaze blinked as that last statement sounding like an added afterthought slipping out. Whether she realized it or not, she didn't give a hint as she brushed closely by him and told him to follow her. He did as she requested and followed her outside. Marissa inspected the work of her crew as they finished. She was impressed by how clean the deck was by his work. He was pleased by the compliment as he watched her move to the railing. "Alright ye bloody buggarts! Untie us from the docks and hoist the sails! We're away from this rat hole tonight!" she barked to the fearsome looking crew below her. "Bardok! I want an account of the fathoms every minute we go out. This bloody port as a nasty reef below I would like to avoid!" "Aye Cap'n!" said the massively muscled pirate with an eye patch over his left eye. The man was as big as a bull and just as hairy. Marissa noticed his calculating look of the man's abilities and grinned. "My second-in-command. A good man and friend to us, having been my father's closest friend," she explained. Her expression at that revelation became one of sadness briefly before turning away and striding over to a large wheel with knobs sticking out of it at steady intervals around the edges. She gripped one and held onto the wheel as they started to drift away from the dock. Seagulls cries rose in the late evening air as the ruffling sound of cloth was heard when the sails were dropped down from their rigging. The gentle breeze coming from the land north caught the sails and billowed out slightly. Marissa turned to him and grinned when she saw him stumble slightly as the Crimson Dawn began to roll gently with the small waves of the Sonel Sea. "Don't have yer sea legs yet, bucko?" she laughed and pulled him over close to her so he could grip the wheel and steady himself. Blaze cleared his throat in sheer embarrassment and glanced away as he looked back towards the land gradually moving away in the distance. "No. Even though I was born in a fishing village, I forsook the life of a fisherman in my dreams to become to warrior." Her blue eye looked to him out of the corner of her eyes as she smiled, "Seems like you're doing a mighty fine job on your adventure here so far, young Blaze." He couldn't help but chuckle and nod in agreement as he looked back to the open vastness of water before them. "I suppose so. But yes, I never really set foot on a ship before let alone a boat." "Well I hope you enjoy this then. I've always loved the freedom of the open seas," she whispered softly with a wistful gaze of silence for a few moments before she looked to him. "You and your friends are in luck though. Kendra told me where you wish to go and it's along our route to meet up with my fleet." "Fleet?" "Aye. When you become as famous as I have, you tend to accrue quite a large following. The Crimson Dawn is just one of many ships and crews that belong to me," she stated quite proudly. Blaze grinned, but barely managed as he was beginning to feel a bit woozy. The increasing sway of the ship with the larger waves encountered was not helping. Try as he might, he couldn't shake the feeling. Marissa looked back to him after a few moments and blinked at what she saw. "Bloody hell... You're getting green about the gills Blaze. You'd best move over to the side of the ship and heave overboard lest you make a mess of what you've already cleaned," she said with a small laugh and shake of her head. Blaze was quick to follow her advice and soon found himself leaning over the railing in misery as his stomach rolled about. Dear heavens why did he have to feel like this? "Blaze!" called a cheery voice suddenly to his side. Glancing up, he saw the gorgeous catwoman bounding up the stairs with something in her hands. "Guess what, Blaze," she chirped happily. Her golden eyes blinked when he groaned in response. Shrugging, she grinned and held up her hand for him to see. "They have sushi on board! Look here! They even have calamari!!! Want some?" Blaze's eyes grew wide at the site of those tentacles before Nadine ecstatically popped one into her mouth. Oh dear holy mother of Stavros!!! His head whipped back overboard. "Eeeewww Blaze! You not feeling well? Oh well! More for me then!" she giggled and popped another in her mouth. After a good number minutes of introducing the Sonel Sea to the contents of his stomach, Blaze looked back up to see Nadine gone and Marissa leaning heavily on the wheel as she was still trying to recover from laughing so hard. "Blaze," she managed finally as she wiped the tears from her eyes and looked to him with a big smile. "Go to my quarters to find a root. I keep it for travelers on my ship to ease their troubled stomach. Chew it and you'll be fine before you know it." Blaze managed a weak smile and could only nod to her in thanks before stumbling down the wooden stairs and through the door. He was thankful for the hallway being very narrow so he could brace the walls as he walked to prevent from stumbling. Ignoring the steps down into the lower compartments he made his way to the large door at the end of the short hall. There was no mistaking it as Captain Red's quarters with the red skull grinning nastily down at him from above the door. He swallowed as he hesitated for a moment before opening the door into the pirate's living quarters. The room was surprisingly larger than he expected to find on a ship. He'd always heard stories of tight, uncomfortable quarters. But when you're the captain, you get some nice luxuries he supposed. All about the room were trinkets of pillaging and battles won. Silk drapes hung in various places while in others gold necklaces and beads. Swords, cutlasses, and daggers of all types lay on display racks all about, looking like an armory. Testing one of the display blades, he found it sharp and swiftly drew blood. Useful still, he thought as he sucked in the small bloody prick to his thumb. There was plenty of furniture in Red's room as well with everything bolted to the floor. A table with four chairs to dine at sat nearest to him. A lounge chair rested against the wall with a longcoat of pirate looks to it tossed upon its cushioning. He was surprised to even find a bed big enough for two resting against the opposite wall. A mahogany desk of impressive size and craftsmanship was at the other end of the room. Not seeing any other place where containers could possibly be, he made his way to the desk and sat down in the chair. He couldn't help but take a moment to look in front of him and appreciate the view of the fading light of day through the large glass planes. An unobstructed view of the dark waters swirling about in the wake left behind by the Crimson Dawn. He was quickly reminded of the task at hand though as the ship bobbed up and down slightly. Being polite to pay no mind to the parchments on her desk in which he had no business reading, Blaze opened the first drawer. Just more blank parchments, ink bottle, and a feather quill. Opening the second drawer on the left, he found what he was looking for. But the small jar filled with roots wasn't what grabbed his attention and curiosity. An odd object lay beside the jar that confused him greatly. What was it? Lifting the object out with his hands carefully, he studied it intently. One part seemed to be made of wood and fitted for the hand to grip. A strange metal ring protruded from it to curve around and connect with the metal portion. Inside the ring was another small metal extension. He found it was just big enough for his finger. Odd... The other portion of the object was all metal and looked to be a narrow tube of sorts. But for what? Blinking, the young warrior held the object up even with his face as he looked down the small barrel with his one eye. Nearly fumbling the object, he slid his finger through the small ring for a better grip as he peered down the odd metal tube. Blazing Glory Ch. 09 No sooner had he done so than the object was ripped from his hands swiftly. Blaze gasped and fell out of the chair in his surprise. He'd been so intent on the object that he hadn't noticed anyone enter the room. Glancing up, he saw Marissa standing above him holding the object with a small smirk. "You should be more careful, young man. Ever hear of curiosity killing the catwoman?" she chided with a chuckle. "I'm sorry," he apologized as he got to his feet. In the dim light of the room, her hair looked a lighter blonde and Marissa had switched to wearing a bandanna across her forehead. "It's just that I've never seen such an object before." Her cat ears twitched slightly as amusement grew on her facial features while regarding him, "No I suppose you haven't have you? Suffice to say any more curious and you would have ended up with another hole in your head... of the bad variety. Savvy?" Blaze blinked before his jaw dropped open in dismay and horror with the realization. That thing!? That small object would have killed him!? How could that be? Marissa laughed at his amusing expression before moving to the drawer and placing it back where it had come from. She came back and placed a small root she had retrieved into his open mouth. Her finger closed his jaw with the click of his teeth as she grinned. "Now chew that since I believe that's what you were looking for," she chuckled as she walked back to the desk to open a drawer on the right and pulled out a glass container filled with a dark liquid. Blaze watched the pirate uncork the top and take a swig of the liquid as he began chewing. He coughed as he nearly gagged at how bitter the root was as she strode over to him, grinning mischievously. She handed him the bottle in which he quickly raised to his lips to drink from. His eyes grew big as the harsh liquid burned down his throat. "Nothing like a bit of rum to wash down some gillyroot I always say," she chuckled as she observed his expression. Blaze coughed as he lowered the bottle swiftly and wiped his lips with his sleeve. Harsh as it was, it did help rinse the bitter root taste out of his mouth. He could already feel the beginning of his stomach settling. Handing the bottle back to her, he nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Marissa." "Wrong..." she chided amusingly before taking a long draught. "What?" the confused warrior blinked. "Name's Clarissa there matey," she laughed as she eyed him up and down. "And my sis was right. You are a handsome devil." Blaze blinked at her, not really sure he believed what he was hearing. She, meanwhile, grinned knowingly as she leaned back against the desk with her shapely rear resting on the edge. He looked at her more closely, seeing now that it wasn't the lighting. Her hair was truly more blonde in color. But she still looked the very same woman! "Captain Red, are you trying to pull one over on me?" he asked suspiciously with a wary grin. "Captain Red that I am," she laughed before taking another drink. Some liquid escaped those soft lips to run down her slender neck and beneath the cover of her brown shirt. Hadn't she been wearing a white shirt moments ago on deck? "But no I am not. The name is Clarissa," she finished after swallowing the liquor. But how was this? This wasn't right? What was wrong? Was the gillyroot making him hallucinate? The sound of the door shutting behind him drew his attention. His heart skipped a beat. Marissa stood at the door looking at the both of them before smiling. "So I see you've met Blaze, sister," she said smiling. Blaze could only look back and forth between the two of the women repeatedly in disbelief. It couldn't be! How? How come no one knew of this? How come no stories every elaborated on this? How could they... they be.... "TWINS!?" his voice cracked out. Marissa winked as she strode over to him with her own pirate sway. Her arms wrapped about his body to steady the stunned and not-so-sure legged warrior as she gazed into his eyes. "I did say you would learn more about Captain Red on this journey." She blinked as she released him and he fell back with a loud thud to the floor with a tsunami of a nosebleed. Two gorgeous women at the same time with the revelation had been simply too much! The sexy sisters shared a look before the twins broke out in laughter. Oh this was going to be fun.... ******************** Kiora blinked as she sat with her father in his gardens. All preparations for the defense of their country were still underway. The people worked as if planning for the worst. Evacuation routes were planned as well as shelters built. Fortifications were made and added to the city. The citizens worked with fervor, but all knew that if the battle came to them that it was truly the end of the world. But what startled her was the deep frown of concern she saw now on the face of Stavros. They sat upon the fountain he liked in enjoyment of a moment's peace amongst the flowers. All had been well until his gaze suddenly turned west. He still held that faraway look as his frown only grew with every passing moment. She had only seen him like this a few times before. And when she did, something very bad was about to happen. "Father?" she said, knowing she could call him such when they were in privacy. "You've had another premonition?" The mighty deity nodded with a sigh. His eyes glanced off towards the southwest searchingly. "No vision accompanied it. I simply had the strongest feeling that the most terrible evil is approaching Blaze and his friends. And with the feeling came the almost grim certainty of their deaths." Kiora gasped and shook her head slowly in trying to deny what she just heard. But when her father had these premonitions, he was always right. They stared off towards the southwest together now for minutes afterwards. Kiora's wings trembled with fear for her friends. Looking up to him, she jumped when she found him looking down to her with a determined look in his eye. It seemed they were already of one mind on the matter. "Kiora, go find and help them! Swiftly!" Stavros said. "I will!" Kiora nodded in determination and conviction in her voice as she rose to her feet, angelic wings fanning out wide behind her. The volarian leapt into the air with a massive thrust of those wings and was soon speeding over the mountains. Stavros's gaze followed his dear daughter until she was gone from sight. "Hurry Kiora. Or else they are all dead...." ******************* The warm blue of the depths swirled about as the waters flowed along without ever ceasing in their currents. Along those currents and the sea floor on the bottom, life lived in abundance. Free from the touch of the outside world, this underwater world was pristine and beautiful. Coral reefs lined away from one's edge of sight to the other. Schools of brightly colored fish swam and darted about the safety of those beautiful reefs. Outside the enclosure of those reefs in the more open waters, larger creatures roamed. Some were peaceful ordinary fish like any other body of water held in world. A few large sea turtles would glide on by from time to time in their ageless wanderings. More dangerous creatures lurked about these depths as well. Fish that had heads that looks like they belonged in a smith's forge as a tool and others massive in size big enough to take down even the lions of the sea. For they had row upon row of deadly serrated teeth. But all swiftly swam away from the lone creature that sped its way through the water like quicksilver. Most creatures of the sea knew not to mess with it. Especially with this one's maddened aquamarine eyes. Sonora's long green hair fanned out behind her as she swam to her destination with great enthusiasm. She remembered the summons by her mistress Koas and those words that followed. "Use your powers to introduce them to an old friend of yours, dear Sonora," Koas whispered to her obedient servant. Sonora's lips widened into a feral grin of insanity as soon as she knew whom Koas was referring to. She cackled with glee as she moved nearer to her destination. Kendra would not be able to escape this fate. The pleasant thought of holding that vile demon's head in her hands as a trophy came in vivid clarity. The siren could hardly wait to bring revenge down upon the succubus for all that she's done to her in the past. Her nose hurt for the longest time after that punch delivered at Kyros. And she'll never forgive Kendra for making her fail and get raped by hundreds of goblins in the resulting punishment. The day of reckoning had come for her rival and she would pay dearly. A high pitched squeal caught the siren's attention, drawing her gaze to her left. Two dolphinmen circled about each other playing before spotting her and swimming over to see her. Most creatures of the sea were smart enough to avoid sirens, but these two looked to be young and not know any better yet. While being very similar to the lycans on land, these creatures were not of humanoid intelligence despite their muscular humanoid physiques. Instead of fins they had arms extending from torsos like a normal human. But they had the characteristics of dolphins with thick gray skin, long dolphin tail and flukes instead of legs, and facial features more resembling their animal counterparts. Aquamarine eyes overlooking them, she noted they were both males. The sexy siren smirked as she thought she could use a little bit of fun before continuing on. The dolphin lycans squeaked to her as they circled about curiously. Reaching behind her, Sonora untied her top and let it dropped slowly down to the ocean floor. Powder blue skin of full round breasts was revealed with her dark nipples hardening in anticipation. Her fingers worked her skirt free next before it sank to join the rest of her clothing, leaving the exotic siren fully naked in the water with large tits and shapely ass. The dolphinmen circled this strange creature as it shed some of its parts, curious as to what it was about. They watched its hands curl touch the large round orbs on its chest before a low moan escaped from it. Not fully understanding why, the dolphin lycans began to grow more excited as the cockheads began to poke out of their bodies. Sonora moaned musically as her fingers toyed with her nipples, pulling on the hardening nipples to send small waves of pleasure through her body. She vocalized her growing lust with musical tones to spellbound the dolphinmen and excite their instincts for mating. She was pleased to see the circling lycans' flared heads poking out of their bodies and extending further out. She hummed as her other hand slid down her beautiful body to rub her pussy mound, pleased with the thickness and size she was seeing. Seeing those impressive muscles flex about, she licked her lips. Sonora loved how flexible a dolphin lycan's cock could be while fully erect. She hummed comfortingly to one as she swam to it, grasping the thick rod with her hands. Humming softly now, she leaned forward to take that length hungrily into her mouth until she could fit no more in. The dolphinman squealed with pleasure as her stretched blue lips moved back and forth with her bobbing head as she sucked hungrily. It didn't matter to the insane beauty that she was sucking on a random creature's cock. It was a nice big cock that would pleasure her well. She floated there in the water beneath the dolphinmen as it undulated its body to hump her face with ecstatic squeaks. Her cunt was getting more aroused by the second as the thick meaty rod pushed down into her throat, swallowing to convulse her throat muscles about it and make the dolphin go nearly crazy with bliss. Sonora gasped when she felt something grasp her breasts. The siren looked down to see the other dolphin over her body, its large hands feeling about her breasts and kneading the flesh. She moaned with her cock stuffed mouth as her large sensitive tits were squeezed. This was turning out more fun than she expected. In the middle of the open waters of the Sonel Sea the siren floated as two dolphinmen noisily humped away at her face and groped her tits. She noisily sucked on the cock in her mouth but could tell by the increasingly frantic motions of both lycans that they were close to cumming too soon. Regretfully the siren pulled her mouth off the thick cock and thrust backwards to swim a little bit away from the one while taking the male on her tits with her. Sonora smirked as she forcefully pushed herself down, dislodging those hands from her tits roughly enough to make the blue jugs bounce beautifully. She needed a big fat cock in her horny cunt right now! Easing herself down the dolphinman's length, she positioned herself to where the head pressed against the blue lips of her pussy. Instinct took over the lycan as he thrust forward, slamming a great length of that thick cock into her throbbing cunt. The siren screamed beautifully as she was penetrated by the large being above her. Her back arched, pressing her large breasts against the chest of the dolphinman as it began to thrust away with wild abandon she loved so much in these beings. No restraint. No holding back. Just a straight hard fucking! Sonora gritted her teeth as she squealed her bliss as the rod pounded in and out of her twat rapidly with the strength of its body. "OH BY KOAS YES!!! FUCK ME!!! POUND MY DAMN PUSSY YOU WONDERFUL BASTARD!!!" she screamed. Milky fluid began leak away from her cunt into sea's waters in a thin wavering lines as her wetness inside grew all the more. Her screams became more frequent and frantic as she was screwed towards her building climax. Her aquamarine eyes popped open when she heard another high pitched squeak behind her. Glancing over her shoulder, she saw that she was being sandwiched! The second dolphinman, not one to be left out, had moved up behind her after spying a second hole it could enter. Her eyes grew large as she felt its cock probe her ass searchingly, feeling its way to the beautiful star of her ass. "No! Not there! Not together at the same time! NoooOOAAAAHH!!!" she shrieked as the second lycan dick was thrust into her ass. The sea's water mercifully granted enough lubrication to let that thick cock slide in. Sonora's mouth hung wide open as the dolphinmen thrust both thick cocks into her convulsing ass and pussy in unison. The force from two powerful lycans was incredible! Soon she was screaming at the top of her lungs with every double thrust into her. Her breasts bounced violently back and forth on her chest. But the siren was soon screaming for more and grinding her hips as much as she could against those two glorious rods. Her screams rose in pitch when she felt those flexible cocks begin to move about within her like no straight hard cock ever could. She couldn't take it anymore as her hands gripped her nipples and pinched violently. These males were driving her even more insane, if that could be possible, with pleasure. Their meaty lengths were moving about wildly now as their squeaks rose in fervor to match her screams before they unleashed forceful jets of cum deeply into her twat and ass. So much force that she screamed at the top of her mighty lungs as the orgasm ripped through her! Her body thrashed about as cum filled her. Her twat squirted her juices with incredible force in copious amounts that clouded the water about them. When she came down from the multiple orgasms, she lay on the ocean floor with the lycans already having swum off for more fun to find. She hummed to herself after that sweet hard fucking. It had been wonderful like she had hoped it to be... An hour later, Sonora swam up to her destination. A deep trench ripped through the floor of the sea like an old wound that never really healed. Her aquamarine eyes followed its length until it was out of sight in the hazy waters. Gazing down into it, she could only see blackness. She had no idea how deep it was even though she had curiously tried at various times to find out. It just continued deeper while the pressure about her had grown to dangerous levels and she had to give it up. But those times she had visited, she found a friend that had come up to visit her a few times. It was that being she was here to summon. Settling down to stand upon a tall outcropping of rock that jutted up above the fissure, she surveyed the scene before taking a deep breath and spreading her arms wide. Eyes closed, her lips parted to release the song. The music leaving the siren was a dark and ominous. All the sea life in the area recognized its purpose and fled the area as swiftly as possible. Sonora's eyes opened as she elevated her song to a new level. The song that had in the beginning been to grab attention was now commanding. The sea around seemed to quiver with dread at the powerful evil emanating from her melody. Then her eyes saw it and her smile grew wide. The insanity in those eyes grew to a feverish state along with her song as the massive shadow slowly lifted out of the sea trench and moved towards her. Her old friend had finally arrived and now rose up before her in all his might, dwarfing the sexy siren like a whale does a shrimp. Ending her song, the siren smiled as she caressed her friend before swimming off to now find Kendra and Blaze. Water swirled about in the enormous wake as her friend followed close behind, ready to completely destroy whatever Sonora wished... ******************** Much to the frustration of the pirate sisters and their crew, the winds were fairly light. Travel was slow going from the north as they traveled down the western Sonel Sea. Blaze often remembered fishermen in his home telling tales of sea travelers getting caught in the dreaded doldrums. Areas of the sea where calm prevails with no presence of any wind and the seas were with very little current. Ghost ships were found from time to time, the result of everyone having perished from being stranded in the Doldrums too long. Such fear kept many of the pirates' eyes on the sails and small prayers in continual flow of the wind. The winds thankfully complied but maintained weak strength in the process. With the sea journey taking longer than expected, many of the ladies did their best with their time. Kendra seemed fascinated with the sea for some odd reason. Blaze would often see her at various points of the ship gazing down into the deep waters or the sea on the horizon with a dreaming gaze. Of course the succubus caused trouble by her very nature. Jaws hung open with tongues hanging out whenever the leather clad beauty strut her way across the deck with that sensual sway of her hips. Even here on a swaying ship on the open waters, she could still do her men-maddening cock-throbbing catwalk. So much so that the Red twins had to punch a few of their crewmen before unwelcome thoughts arose to the male mind. Tyra spent much of her time up in the crow's nest as Blaze came to find out. The lookout up there didn't mind the additional presence of the gargoyle as she provided a bit of company and an easy lift down to the deck. That and the fact the beautiful guardian had a sharp set of eyes helped in the task immensely. Word spread of her quiet friendliness and soon she befriended most of the crew as well as gained their respect. The subterranean elf stayed away from everyone so much that most of the crew nearly forgot her presence entirely. She stayed within her cabin a majority of the time as she was clearly uncomfortable at the sight of nothing but water surrounding them. And Blaze noticed the rocking motion of the boat wasn't being too kind to her as well until he brought her some of the medicine he had needed. She smiled to him after taking it. "Bel'la dos abbil. You are such a good Patron," she smirked before kissing him deeply. He knew she was eager to have her feet on solid ground once again without the worry of a harsh seafaring sun beating down from overhead. Blazing Glory Ch. 09 Blaze himself had found his place under the sudden occupation of 'cabin boy' for the Red sisters. He learned it was to be a vast part of his payment to the pirates for this sea excursion aboard the Crimson Dawn. Much of his time was spent amongst the pirate crew in tending to repairs and upkeep of the ship. Bardok and he often talked about the life at sea as a pirate. Blaze loved hearing the harrowing tales of fighting enemy pirates and sea monsters that the Red pirates came across. Other duties included bringing the Red twins their meals and cleaning of their quarters. He didn't really mind the hard work as he preferred it to doing nothing and only being able to think of the sway of the sea. But Nadine was another matter... The cheerful catwoman was oddly no longer cheery. Whenever she saw him, she was clearly nervous and made it a point to stay away from him. Nadine looked like she wanted to tell him something, but was clearly unsure. Despite his confusion, he kept his distance from her respectfully in order to not trouble her further. It was on the fourth day of the sea journey when things began to take a turn he would never have imagined. He was standing at middeck when he saw Nadine striding determinedly to the rear door leading to the cabins and the Captains' quarters. Clarissa opened the door and stepped outside and blinked when Nadine slipped by her to go inside. The pirate woman stood there for a moment before shrugging and striding to over where Blaze stood at the railing. Leaning against it, the half-lycan beauty stared out to the sea. "Enjoying the trip so far, Blaze?" she asked with a knowing smile, her blue eyes looking to him then. "Now that my stomach is no longer doing somersaults, it has been quite enjoyable. I don't mind the hard work either as it helps pass the time with the fellow crew mates." "Yeah. A hardy bunch you can count on to kill for you in a moment's blink but good fellas to enjoy company with over a flask of rum," she laughed with a shake of her head. "True enough. But I've noticed how they keep their distance in ways of respect. Like they don't wish to become too close," he stated. Clarissa's smile faded as she looked back to the sea. Blaze swallowed as he feared having gone somewhere he shouldn't have. But she gave him a small bitter smile that dispelled such thoughts. "Part of that is simply respect for their leaders. The other is because they know I've been dealt a hard blow by someone I loved and thought loved me in return." Blaze leaned back against the railing and frowned, "I'm sorry to hear that." "Bah!" she dismissed with a wave of her hand. "No need to feel bad for me. It hurts still but I'm over that bloody bastard. He was our second-in-command. I made the mistake and took him in as my lover when he expressed his own desire. Turns out the sea hog was just using me for his own pleasure until he tired of me. As my trusted lover, he gained command of a few ships and their crews. That was when he left me to start his own pirate legacy to satisfy his lusts." "So who is this pirate?" "Jason Hawkeye," she spat with disgust before glancing sideways to him. "You and everyone else would know him as Captain Blackblood." Blaze nearly fell backwards overboard into the water. He looked to her in complete shock. "The Blackblood? Of all the tales I've heard, he's been your greatest rival and enemy. And you're telling me you two were lovers?" She grinned to his stunned expression before nodding, "Aye. And myself and Marissa have had numerous run-ins with him ever since. Hairy battles on the open waters to say the least. But in one I had the distinct pleasure of slicing the bastard's left hand clean off in a sword fight. But things went to hell before I could finish him and both sides had to withdraw. He's assembled quite a fleet since then." Blaze nodded in agreement. Few pirates were as notorious as Red and one of those was Blackblood. While Red was infamous for ingenuity, tactics, and ferocity... Blackblood was known for much worse reasons. Cruel didn't beginning to describe him in the stories as he pillaged sea villages, killing all of the innocent people brutally after having all of the women raped in front of the restrained men. He took delight in the plight and suffering of others with no ounce of remorse. Many called him a beast, but others said he was human enough. Just so evil that his blood was icy black, hence his given name. Blaze frowned and turned about to study the horizon, "Well I hope whenever you meet him again, you send him down for the long drink." Staring off as he did, he didn't notice the pleased smile on her face and odd look in her eyes. Down in the interior of the Crimson Dawn, Marissa had a different look in her pretty blue eyes at that moment. Staring down at the map spread across the large desk, she carefully calculated their position they should be at compared to the positioning of the stars she'd observed the night before. Tonight she would check the positioning again to confirm her estimates. Her gaze averted from the map when she heard a small knock on the door of her cabin. "Come," she answered. Expecting her sister, Marissa was honestly surprised when it was Nadine of all people who opened the door and slipped through shyly. The catwoman kept her gaze turned away as she softly closed the door behind her. The half-lycan standing behind the desk frowned as she could tell something was obviously bothering Nadine. She had observed that something might have been over the last few days, but it seemed her troubles were now rising with the high tide and had to be addressed. "Good eve' to ya Nadine," the pirate began. Nadine's golden eyes rose to look to Marissa before blinking out of her thoughts. The catwoman managed a small smile and nodded her head in greetings returned. She slowly made her way towards Marissa as if afraid out the outcome that was the purpose for this visit. Marissa smiled in assurance to the catwoman as she stepped out from behind her desk, map forgotten and moved towards the chairs. "Please have a seat and tell me what's on your mind," the pirate said as she sat down. The demure catwoman sat down next her. Nadine sat there for moments gazing down at her furry hands gripping her knees nervously. Marissa let the lycan have her time as it would all come out eventually. Sure enough those golden eyes looked to her with the fire of determination in them. "I need to know," Nadine whispered softly, her voice trembling with the tumult of emotions running through her. "I need to know what it was like for you... and your family in the past. I want to have children with Blaze someday and I need to know what those half-lycan children's future will be like through what your life has been." Marissa couldn't help but lean back into the chair, expecting something else entirely. She was completely caught off guard by this request. Images of her life in the past flashed through her mind in a dizzying blur. Some images she had long since shut away from her memory forever resurfaced among them. When she shook her head to clear her mind, she saw the black-furred orange-striped catwoman staring at her with those big golden eyes expectantly. "Please?" Nadine said pleadingly. Marissa sighed and nodded that she would. "Just be aware that you might not like what you hear for an answer," the notorious pirate stated as she rose. Marissa walked over to open a chest to pull out some flasks and glasses wrapped in silk before closing it. She sat back down at the table with what she retrieved and unwrapped the fragile glasses before filling them with the dark wine from the flask. Handing the lycan one, she leaned back with her own filled glass and swirled the liquid about as her gaze drifted back into memory. "What can I say to begin with," Marissa started with a sigh, "other than that it wasn't a perfect fairy tale. Father met my mother, a puma lycan in one of the open market places of Kozue. Father fell in love instantly with her at first sight. Upon his flourishing compliments, she found him amusing and kind before eventually retuning the same feelings. Neither cared for the strong distaste both human and lycan races held for interracial breeding at the time. All that mattered was how deeply in love they were with each other." Marissa took of sip of the wine to wash away the bitter taste in her mouth of what she knew would come. She eyed the catwoman over the glass's rim listening politely before continuing. "Both were eventually found out in their relationship shortly after we were born. They didn't make any attempts the deny it nor could they, with my and Clarissa's appearances. There was the chance we could have come out appearing pure lycan. But instead we almost came out looking pure human." Marissa sighed as she gave a flick to her cat ears, "There was no helping this characteristic standing out. But they weren't ashamed of us nor didn't try to hide it from the others. Besides, we young girls didn't understand why people scorned us like the plague. We thought we were perfectly normal. We soon learned otherwise." "The humans came after you didn't they?" Nadine sniffed, shuddering at some thought or memory Marissa wasn't aware of. "No," the pirate laughed with a bitter smile, "The lycans did...." "No!" Nadine spurted loudly in protest, shaking her head in disbelief. Marissa nodded in affirmation, remembering well that day with all those eyes staring at her with such disgust and hatred. "Oh yes, Nadine. It's not just humans that form intolerant mobs filled with evil hatred. That day I and my sister would have been lynched until our last breaths were choked out before they would tear our corpses apart. Such vile hatred and want of our deaths... Simply because I was who I was! Nothing more! I was living being just like them yet they saw me and my sister as lower than they and passed judgment that I must die! They even brought their own lycan children to witness our deaths and learn..." Her vision began to blur as she gripped her glass tightly almost to the point she had to calm herself lest she shatter it in her hand. "That is until my parents stepped in. Mother backed us into the house with the mob advancing. At her pleas, Father eventually caved in and grabbed the both of us, escaping out the back door while Mother fought them off to give us time to flee. I can remember her cries of rage before her screams of agony..... We later came to find out by some sources that they tore her apart.... Fucking bastards ripped her apart until nothing was left.... But she at least took as many as she could down with her." Marissa took a moment to wipe her eyes and her mother's screams from her mind. She took a long drink from her glass, nearly emptying it before setting it down on the table. The pirate looked up in surprise when she heard the sob. Tears dripped from the raging rivers of sadness coming from the catwoman. Nadine's shoulders trembled violently as she buried her face into her free hand as she openly wept then. "Nadine," Marissa quickly leaned overly to touch the catwoman's arm. "Please don't be like this. I don't hate you because you're a lycan." Nadine shook her head violently as she sobbed. "It's not that. I... I'm just so ashamed of my people. Ashamed that they were so despicable. That they took so much from you by becoming true barbaric animals! Marissa, I'm so sorry for what they did. Please forgive my people... our people." Marissa gave the furry woman a genuine smile. "Already have, hon. We also learned that many lycans not involved were angered at the injustice of my family's tragedy. It changed their attitudes towards interbreeding and soon spread to become accepted by many. I've heard even humans have grown more tolerable of other races by learning to accept the differences they have within their own race. So your children with Blaze will not face the same cruel hatred that we did. But I tell you this so you know there are still those out there that refuse to accept this change in mindset and may try to bring harm to you and your family..." The tiger-striped catwoman nodded and wiped her eyes, giving Marissa a grateful smile. Seeing Nadine was better now, Marissa leaned back into her chair once again. "But Father took us to the only life he knew where we would all become accepted. The life of the free on the high seas as a pirate. He didn't like the thought of bringing his daughters into a profession he was joining to help us along. But he knew eventually we would always face such prejudice and would need to learn how to survive. What better way to do so then amongst the outcasts of society known as pirates? Outcasts have an understanding of each other and that is why my crew respects Clarissa and me so much." "But yes, that is a summary of my life. Sorry if it was a tad bit short but I was never one for telling odysseys," she finished with a laugh before winking to her lycan companion. "Times have changed since then and with things being more acceptable these days, I think it is fine. So go ahead and have some kiddos with that cute guy out there. He seems like something special that all you ladies caught on quickly. I think I'm beginning to understand it myself..." "Yeah, he's something special alright," Nadine smiled brightly before rising and embracing Marissa. "Thank you, Captain Red." The half-lycan laughed and hugged her back. It wasn't long after Nadine was gone and she'd rewrapped and placed the cleaned glasses back inside the chest when Clarissa came inside. Closing the door quietly behind her, her twin leaned back against it. Her sister then looked at her with a serious look. "We need to talk, sister," she stated. Marissa smiled knowingly in return. "About a certain young man?" Clarissa's full lips quickly spread into that mischievous grin.... ******************** Blaze blinked as he heard the knock at their cabin door. He had just entered after finishing his work for the evening and had been about to pull off his shirt. He glanced to Kendra who simply shrugged that she hadn't been expecting anyone either. Opening the door, Blaze blinked as he stared at the barrel of a hairy muscled chest. Looking up at the big man in front of him, he couldn't help but grin. "Evenin' Bardok!" he greeted the big pirate. "Evenin' Blaze," the big man answered with a broad grin. "Don't worry, matey. I'm not here ta give ya another job. I be here simply ta tell ya Captain Red wants ta see ya in her quarters right now." Blaze could only blink again before nodding that he would go to see them. Satisfied, Bardok pat his shoulder before striding off. The young human looked over his shoulder to see Kendra already in bed and waiting for him. With a grimace, he told her the news. Kendra's eyes looked at him knowingly as she gave him that small smile that she only gave to him. The demoness said she understood, which kind of surprised him. She was never really one to be happy going to sleep by herself with her arm not about him. He sighed as he closed the door behind him and looked to it regretfully. He had seen that hunger in her eyes growing again. But now the 'cabin boy' had been summoned away from a wonderful night of romping about in the sack with the most gorgeous woman in the world. Grumbling to himself, he turned about and moved up the stairs. When he reached Captain Red's door, he knocked in announcing himself. "Come," two female voices said in unison. Blaze opened the door and stepped inside, closing the door behind him. He looked up to see both half-lycan beauties staring at him. The two of them leaned back against the desk with their hips resting against the edge. They were both wearing their trademark red pirate longcoats as they had their arms folded across their chests. He would have been unable to tell which one is which if not for Marissa's slightly more reddish blonde hair and Clarissa still wearing her red bandanna across her forehead. He swallowed at the unusual stern look on their faces. "Reporting as ordered," he stated as he stood before them. "Sit," Marissa stated with a nod of her head towards the large leather couch on the one side of the large room. Wondering if he had done something wrong, Blaze sat down hoping they weren't going to make him walk the plank like he'd heard pirates do. The gorgeous twins regarded him silently for a few minutes before they shared a look. He couldn't help but think of how remarkably beautiful they were. And those cat-like ears sticking out of their manes of blond hair was a uniquely attractive feature. Clarissa looked to him with a frown, "Blaze, it seems that you're not doing enough work around here..." "And," Marissa cut off his question, "we've decided to give you a task that is more than worthwhile in paying for this trip on the Crimson Dawn..." He was stunned and looked back and forth between the pirate sisters as they both stood up from the desk. Blaze's eyes fell clattering to his feet and rolled away, or at least they would have if they could! The twins in simultaneous mischievous grins unfolded their arms and dropped their longcoats away at the same time. Two perfectly identical raging-cock-inducing bodies in all their nude glory were revealed to him. Perfectly smooth female bodies were drunk in by his eyes. Smooth taut bellies drawing eyes up to firm breasts capped by bright pink nipples. Their mounds were shaved and clearly aroused as they dripped with wetness. They were the equivalent of him in female form. Toned feminine bodies honed by a pirate's life that would have any man screaming with desire. In fact, Blaze very well thought his cock was about to rip through his pants with the hard-on he had now! "Wow..." he mumbled dazedly. Clarissa laughed and grinned to her sister with a knowing wink. Both smiled to him as they strut with a pirate sway over to the mind blown warrior. The two lovely naked twins sat on him, one on each leg as they cuddled up close to him tantalizingly. Their hands roamed up and down his chest as they purred sexily to him. "Come on Blaze," purred Clarissa, her hand feeling his chest. "Give us what we need... What we desire..." "Take us Blaze," Marissa cooed sensually as her hand slid down to grasp his hard dick through his pants squeeze. "We're all yours and you're all ours... Let's have some fun together this night." "Get to know Captain Red REAL well," they whispered together into his ears. There is a Heaven!!! Blaze thought he was going to die from the mother of all nosebleeds when these two hot twins clearly said they wanted a good screwing. Who was he to deny the infamous Captain Red? "AYE CAPTAIN!" he answered enthusiastically. The sisters laughed as their hands gripped at his clothing roughly, making short work of pulling them off and tossing them away. Two pairs of blue eyes looked down as they hummed pleasantly. "Nice 'sword' Blaze," Clarissa winked as both sisters slid down between his lap. She looked to her sister as she grasped his cock. "You brought him into our lives sis. You get first taste!" Marissa chuckled and glanced up to Blaze with a seductive smirk. Ever since that day she'd bumped into him in the hall, she'd wanted to take him. Lowering her head, her tongue flicked out to boldly swirl about that flared cockhead. Moaning softly, she grasped his cock and ran her tongue along the underside from bottom to top in long lapping strokes. She smiled knowingly, pleased to see the young man's eyes close and fists clench from the pleasure. Never one to let her sister get all the fun, Clarissa nudged her way in with a grin as her hand grasped his balls and fondled them expertly. The hot naked twins acted as one as Marissa took his rock hard dick into her mouth at the same time Clarissa ducked in to lick his nuts before taking one into her mouth. Blazing Glory Ch. 09 Blaze nearly blew his wad right then and there! Full feminine lips encased his cock and balls as the two sisters sucked vigorously. Marissa's head bobbed up and down his length slowly as her cheeks hollowed with the suction driving his teeth into a grinding frenzy. Marissa released his cock from her glorious mouth with a wet pop and smack of her lips before she grinned to her twin. "Bloody hell he tastes great, Clarissa! You try too!" she chuckled. Blaze simply groaned in response as Clarissa eagerly hopped up and took his length into her mouth. The blonde beauty hummed pleasantly as she began to, unlike her sister, move her head back and forth rapidly on his rod. The cabin was soon filled with the sound of her wet slurps. Dear Stavros he wasn't going to be able hold out much longer at the rate of her lips on him moving so fast with such incredible pleasure. Clarissa released him with a gasp for air and grinned to her sister, "Right once again as always dear sister... I can't wait to have him in my pussy!" They shared a grin, understanding each other as twins only can before they both looked up to him as they licked the precum from the sensitive head. Their tongues danced about his flared head so much so that he simply caved in and soared on wings of bliss to the afterlife! Hearing him grunt, the half-lycans purred as cum spurted out in thick jets to spray their faces and into their mouths. The cat-eared beauties wiped the cum off their faces and sucked it off their fingers like it was a delicacy. They looked to each and grinned before leaning in to kiss each other passionately and swap his cum on their tongues! The sisters swallowed and broke the hot kiss to look at a stunned Blaze staring at him with his mouth hanging wide open. "What? Can't handle a sisterly kiss?" Clarissa chided as she licked her lips. Marissa laughed and lightly socked her sister's shoulder. "We both love each other as sisters and we take care of each other. A pirate's life is hard, especially in finding someone trustworthy enough to that extent. We've learned the hard way to only trust each other as sisters and take care of each other as such." "Besides," Clarissa chuckled as she rose to close his open jaw with her finger and a hot kiss. She pulled back and purred. "It's not like our incest is so wrong since we can't have kids together." Blaze could only blink and nod. It had been incredibly arousing seeing two beautiful women kissing each other like lovers. But what confused him was that he found it even more exciting as they said. They were sisters. So taboo! His dick still at full strength was proof of that! "Bloody hell," Marissa moaned with need as she eyed his meaty rod, "I need that cock in me now!" Marissa pulled Blaze up to his feet as she stood and kissed his lips hungrily, pressing her body firmly against his. Breaking the kiss with a wink, she moved onto her hands and knees on the couch, presenting him with her shapely ass and offered cunny. She looked over her shoulder to him and purred invitingly. Blaze smiled back and moved up behind her. Both of them grew tense when he pressed the head to her entrance. Marissa let a low groaning hiss escape as she felt that cock pushing into her wet cunt. It felt so damn good! It felt like he was filling her so much. She thrust her hips back against him, half screaming as she impaled herself fully onto him. When she opened her eyes, she looked up to her sister. Clarissa smirked down to her and winked, having positioned herself to sit on the armrest with her legs spread wide. "Can't be letting you have all the fun!" she purred as her hand slid down to spread her pussy lips. Blaze looked up in time to see Marissa chuckle and lean forward to slide her tongue up and down her sister's slit. Clarissa tossed her long bright blonde hair back with her head as she moaned her sister's name. Her back arched, displaying those firm tits of the toned pirate goddess. Clarissa's hands seized Marissa's ears and forcefully pulled her face into that juicy pussy with a lustful cry. Blaze remembered himself now as he felt cunt muscles squeezing around his cock. Shaking himself out of the incestuous lesbian inducing trance, he gripped Marissa's shapely hips as he pulled back and thrust back home deeply into her. The half-lycan in his grasp gasped a half scream into her sister, making the other scream as well with the vibrations into her sensitive pussy. "Oh gods! Yes! YES! FUCK MEEE!!!" Marissa cried out before hungrily latching onto her sister's cunt, delving her tongue down deep inside to taste her juices. Clarissa's hands squeezed her own tits as she moaned nonstop at the incredible sight of her sister getting fucked by the young stud. She nearly squeaked in sexual euphoria as her sister's tongue dove deeper into her, driving her closer to cumming. Her fingers pinched and pulled on her hard pink nipples as she winked to Blaze. Marissa groaned throatily into the hot pussy as Blaze drove harder into her cunt. She couldn't believe how damn hot her body was feeling. It felt as if she was on fire and his beautiful cock was the poker stoking the flames in her loins! By the Deep Blue she was going to cum! Her firm breasts swayed slightly with the powerful thrusts of the pounding her pussy was receiving. She would yelp occasionally when that meaty sword brushed up against her clit. Blinking with the idea, she grinned as she took her sister's clit into her mouth and suckled hard while her tongue flicked over it repeatedly. Blaze gripped the couch suddenly with one hand as Marissa's muscles seized on him and she shuddered violently, her scream muffled into Clarissa's pussy as her orgasm tore through her. Her twin hissed as she humped her sibling's face, the intense vibrations of that scream about her clit giving her a crushing climax to flood her juices into Marissa's lapping mouth. The young man gasped as he managed to hold on from blowing his load too early with that milking cunt of Marissa. The pirate woman looked back to him with her wet face with a loving look and smile. She pulled off of him before she yanked Clarissa down off the armrest onto the couch below her. "Your turn, dear sister," Marissa purred down to her twin. Clarissa was now below her and lying on her back. Marissa muffled any response as she planted her hips down on her sister's face, pressing her freshly fucked hole to Clarissa's full lips. She moaned as Clarissa eagerly began to delve her tongue inside her before looking over her shoulder to Blaze with a wicked grin. Blaze could only grin back as he spread Clarissa's legs and put his cock to her entrance. With a single thrust, he buried his cock into the familiar wet warmth of wonderful half-lycan pussy. He heard the muffled scream of passion from her as Marissa gave a throaty purr, grinding her hips onto that probing tongue. The three lovers filled the cabin with moans and screams of ecstasy. Blaze's hips worked to rapidly thrust that impalement into the writhing nude female body, bouncing Clarissa's firm tits up and down as he fucked her. Clarissa could only continue to scream her encouragement while feverishly licking and sucking the juices out of her sister. Marissa's sweet ass moved with her hips as she sexily humped her sister's face, breathing heavily as the sweat dripped down her chest and face. Blaze leaned over the squirming pirate beauty he was piercing with his sword and gripped those beautiful firm tits. He kneaded the smooth orbs to elicit more frantic groans from Clarissa as he pumped in and out of her. Marissa's hands ran through her hair before she tossed it about with the shaking of her head, her body beginning its rapid decent towards the fiery pleasure of climax. "Suck it! YES! TONGUE MY PUSSY SISTER!!! I'M GOING TO CUM ALL OVER YOUR SWEET FACE!" the normally cool and collected half-lycan began screaming as her hips rode Clarissa's face until she tensed and flooded that mouth with her flowing honey. The intensity of her climax charged the air and Blaze could no longer hold back. With a grunting roar, he slammed into Clarissa's wet gash all the way before letting lose with his second torrent of creamy jizz. The svelte beauty below him felt his cum filling her cunt and began thrashing about wildly as her body reacted with the lust of knowledge that it was dear Blaze cumming inside her. Her howl filled the cabin as Marissa was raising herself off. Clarissa's orgasm tore through her body with such force that she was left breathless as she coated his wonderful rod thickly. Blaze pulled out of that gripping hole with a loud wet pop as Clarissa lay there in a fucked-me-damn-good blissful state. His body was sweaty and he gasped for breath after the exertion of it all. Marissa purred softly as she moved over her recuperating sister to kiss him hotly. His arms wrapped about the older woman as he returned the kiss with equal passion. "You're doing great lover," she purred after breaking the kiss before tweaking his nose affectionately. "Now take a breather as me and Clarissa do something to raise your sails once more." Blaze could only nod as she lightly pushed him away from the couch. He backed away and sat down in one of the chairs as Marissa moved over her twin, trailing kisses up a beautiful body identical to hers. The two sisters locked lips passionately as they parted their lips to let their tongues caress the other's in a forbidden dance. They both sat up together now as they kissed each other passionately, at times nipping and suckling at the slender neck of their sibling. Their hands busily roamed over their taut bodies, caressing breasts and rubbing aroused puffy cunt lips. The young man soon felt his dick coming back to life as he witnessed the half-lycan sisters pleasuring each other like experienced lovers only know how. Blaze watched the infamous pirates scoot close to each other, interlocking their legs and pressing their wet mounds against each other. The blondes threw their heads back and groaned as they began to rub their pussies together! Blaze nearly died from blood loss there as all blood rushed to his now massive erection! Marissa and Clarissa's long hair was tossed about as they began to lewdly hump their hips together. The smell of wet feminine sex filled the cabin along with their growing arousal and cries. Both twins stared lustily into each other's eyes as they pleasured each other. "That's it, Marissa! Harder sister! HARDER!" Clarissa hissed, rolling her hips about to make their pelvis bones rub more against their budding clits. Marissa hissed in response as she licked her grinning lips, her hand reaching to grope her sister's tit. "Oh fuck yes! Come on sis! Splash my twat with your cum!" The women groaned as their pace increased while they ground against each other more frantically. The pleasure seared through their bodies as they sprinted toward mutual sisterly orgasm. Their large firm breasts bounced about as their bodies shone with a fine sheet of sweat. Two pairs of blue eyes rolled up as two identical bodies thrashed as the sisters came at the very same time together. "YEEESSSSS!!!!" Marissa screamed, shaking her torso and tits about in the climax. Clarissa shrieked as she whipped her hair about as she shook her head violently, her juices splashing out of her pussy to mingle with her sister's own release. "FUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!" When they came down from the heights of sisterly pleasure, they both looked to Blaze. The twins began chuckling as they saw the young man sitting there in a drooling daze. Clarissa purred as she untangled herself from her sibling and got onto her hands and knees on the couch. She lowered her torso to rest against the cushioning with her ass presented high in offering to him. "I've always been told I have a nice ass," Clarissa purred to him. "Come take what many have desired but never had!" Marissa blinked in surprise down to her sister as she offered her anal virginity to Blaze. The young man snapped out of his hypnotic state and moved with swiftness to Clarissa on the couch. She watched that cock head still wet with bodily juices press against the sweet star of her sister's ass before it pushed inside. Clarissa looked up to her sister with eyes widening and mouth opening in shock that turned swiftly into amazement. Marissa herself watched in lustful awe as more and more of the pale cock slid into that ass, wishing it was her own. Blaze groaned as Clarissa's ass was incredibly tight as he entered it. It was slow going as she had to slowly accommodate him as he took her anal virginity. When he was fully into her, Clarissa was shaking her head in pure disbelief and mumbling incoherent words of ecstasy as she was spread wide. "Dear... fuck... oh gods... fuck it... YES!... SO damn... BIG! Stretching!" she gasped out before finally unleashing a scream. "FUCK MY ASS BLAZE!!!! GOOOODSS YEEEEEESSSS!!!!" Marissa's eyes grew wide as her sister's eyes went wild like an animal as she thrust her hips back into Blaze's to meet his first thrust into her ass. Little shocks of pleasure suddenly became big shocks of blissful ecstasy with each resounding loud slap of hips meeting Clarissa's firm rear. Marissa didn't even realize two of her fingers sliding in and out of her pussy as she longingly watched her sister get ass-fucked. Clarissa buried her face into the cushion and unleashed a muffled scream. It felt so damn unbelievably wonderful! He was so deeply inside her and she burned with pleasure inside to where he reached with that cock. She had known it would be great letting him take her this way, but it was turning out so much better than expected! Damn she loved this young stud and what he was doing to her! Her body was tortured by racking bouts of bliss as she thrust back against him with wild abandon. She could care less about pirate pride as she grunted like a needful whore, encouraging him to go harder and faster before professing her love when he complied like the wonderful man he was. "BLAAAAAAZZZZEEEE!!!" Clarissa unleashed in a primal animal roar as her body climaxed. The orgasm was so fierce that she couldn't breathe again. She couldn't bloody breathe any more as her cum squirted out of her twat and her ass muscles clenched at his throbbing tool. Blaze gasped as her clenching as muscles took him within a hair's breadth of cumming again. So close in fact that he wouldn't have been surprised if a little hadn't leaked out into Clarissa's beautiful ass. The beautiful blonde collapsed down fully onto the couch as if she had just fought an entire war and was now finally able to get some rest. His still hard cock slid out of her ass as she fell to lie on the couch in post-orgasmic naked beauty. By the way his ears were still ringing from her orgasmic roar, he didn't doubt she was completely exhausted. He grunted when hands violently seized his shoulders and pushed him back roughly. A gasp escaped him as he landed roughly on his ass on the couch before looking up. He swallowed deeply as he saw Marissa staring down at him with an animalistic hunger in her eyes. Her cat-like ears twitched with a tense wave of sheer lust and desire burning within her eyes to mate with the man in front of her. He was staring at a puma looking down at him from the branches in the jungle. And he was the prey! Marissa hissed as she looked down to him before she slid herself into his lap, crushing her lips into his in a wild kiss. Her tongue caressed his lips with hungry swipes before she pulled back, looking down to him in all her naked pirate glory. A pirate with the eyes of a beast mad with hunger! The beast unleashed! "I need it too Blaze," she hissed. "I've never been taken in the ass either. But seeing... Seeing you and my sister like that... I want it... More than all the treasures of the sea in this moment, I want you to fuck my ass into afterlife!" He nodded up to her, understanding the desire that must have arisen watching her twin go insane with the pleasure of being taken anally. Wordlessly, she gripped his dick and pointed it upwards. With a sure sense of animalistic instinct, Captain Red guided it to the star of her ass and lowered herself down until it began to slide in. Marissa's eyes closed as she hissed with slight pain as she continued lowering herself slowly upon that hard rod, her anal virginity gone. After a few tense minutes, the half-lycan pirate sat fully impaled upon him. Her eyes held that wild look still but now also contained amazement. Blaze meanwhile was struggling to keep a hold of himself from coming too soon and infuriating a pirate in the state she was in. But it was so tight inside her! Her ass muscles clenched at him like Clarissa had. He'd been barely able to withstand that and now had to endure a twin experience of walking the knife's edge. Reddish blonde hair wet with sweat was flung back as Marissa looked to the ceiling and screamed as she began to grind her hips. Her pink nipples stood out as hard as pebbles upon her firm round breasts. It burned oh so wonderfully fucking good! She gasped as she fell forward and braced herself up with her hands on his shoulders. Her deep blue eyes never left his now as she wickedly began to rise and slam her hips back down on him. Blaze's cock was driven in and out of her puckered asshole as she drove the groans she wanted to hear out of him. The half-lycan rode his cock with wild abandon for a number of minutes that seemed to last for a blissful eternity until he began to gasp rapidly. Through her own loud shrieks, her pointy ears heard his words loud and clear. "Going... to... cum!" he rasped. "NO! NOT IN MY ASS!" she roared as she pulled off of him and slammed back down, plunging that thick long cock into her waiting pussy. She hissed in venomous lust as she glared down to him through her dangling sweaty locks of hair. "Cum in my cunt you sweet scurvy dog! Just like you did to my sister! Fill my womb with your spunk! I want your seed in me NOOOOW!!!!!" Unable to withstand it any more, he cried out and thrust up into her twat as he unloaded spurts of cum into Captain Red's hot steamy depths as she ordered! The naked pirate riding him went absolutely nuts as she suffered nearly the same fate as her twin sister. Her breath simply wouldn't come until she finally managed an ear-splitting shriek. "CUM!! CUM IN ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! BY THE DEEP BLUE I LOVE YOU!!! FUCK ME! USE ME!! MAKE ME YOUR DAMN CUM BAG!!!" she screamed in hysterical orgasmic insanity. Blaze was already complying as she ground her squirting cunt over his dick that pumped loads of cum into her. The pirate woman collapsed against his chest as she fiercely kissed his lips in exhausted thanks. His arms wrapped about her as she held him close, both gasping to regain their breath. They both blinked when they heard clapping and looked to see a recovered Clarissa grinning broadly as she applauded. "That was incredible you two," Clarissa purred as she slid over on the couch cover to cuddle up with them. Marissa laughed softly and kissed her sister gently, "You should have seen yourself with him too, dear sister." All three of them chuckled before the two ladies rose and helped Blaze rise up with them. Together, the strong women helped a nearly exhausted Blaze over to their bed. After all, he had cum three times after great physical exertion of pleasing the two women twice. "I really should try to get back to Kendra," he mumbled tiredly. "She'll be expecting me to be back." "Don't worry about that, Blaze," Clarissa said with a chuckle and kiss to his cheek. Marissa nodded to him with a smile. "Before this, we had a quick talk with Kendra and she understood. It surprised us that she was fine with us having sex with you, but after more talking we knew her feelings about this."

Chapter 10 - Faith and Heart One of the volcanoes of Nealon erupted violently near the castle, suiting Koas's mood. The evil goddess's emotions were in turmoil as she angrily wished that Blaze would just die. On the same note, she was having trouble locating him now. The storm had wiped out their ship completely. Sonora discovered a lifeboat filled with survivors of the storm, but none among them were Blaze and his female companions. Upon her orders, the maddened siren continued to scour the seas and coastline for signs of where the troublesome group could be. They could be dead after all. Closing her glowing red eyes, the gorgeous goddess sighed as she drummed her fingers on her throne's armrest. Wishful thinking will get you nowhere, she thought. After all, they have shown a resiliency thus far that would lead her to believe that they are not dead. That fact alone made her consider what had her in deep consideration at this moment. The Mistress of Discord was tired of their interference with her plans. If she didn't act soon, they would likely surface in time to ruin her plot of worldly chaos. "Lexiss," she said softly. Always at the ready to serve her mistress, the dark beauty emerged from the shadows and knelt before the garish throne. "Yes, Mistress Koas?" Her glowing red eyes opened with the full lavender lips curving into a wicked smile. "It is time, my dear avatar. Go to the army assembled at the Boaz Wall and inform the commanders that the war has begun. First we destroy the wretched dwarves and then the rest of Anlon." "As you command, my goddess," the shadow mistress answered obediently before rising and disappearing once more into the darkness. There was no stopping her now, she thought pleasantly. The size of her assembled force was beyond comprehension to those who went about their pathetic normal lives on the other side of the immense mountain range. The dwarves would fall swiftly with the elves still reeling from the surprise attack. The elves would soon follow with the other races unable to reach them in time to help by being unaware of their plight. Without the forces of dwarves and elves on their side, Anlon would be crippled before any resistance could form. It would work perfectly and not even Blaze's small group could stop her now! A powerful knock that shook the doors at the entrance to her throne room brought her out of her thoughts. Frowning at the disruption of her improving mood, she flicked her wrist and the doors flung open forcefully. Her red eyes narrowed as she saw a figure cloaked in darkness blacker than the deepest cave in the underworld. Its presence seemed to even soak in the very little light in the room. It was a tall figure with massive wings billowing out behind it, but no eyes or any facial features were evident. "You wished to see me goddess?" his deep voice resonated within the room yet no mouth could be seen. But Koas knew who this individual was now and smiled warmly. In a gracious manner, the tall beauty rose from her throne and walked down the steps as she studied his massive size. He was bigger than her sources had informed. This being was even taller than she. He was probably a match for Stavros himself in that area. But even more so was that this was one of the most powerful beings in the Abyss, although not a god. "Yes, my dear friend," she hummed pleasantly as she looked up to him. "I see your form has yet to take effect after leaving the Abyss. But the reason you are here is that my sources have informed me that we have a mutual acquaintance of sorts." "How so?" he asked simply, not paying her any courtesy. Koas frowned slightly in annoyance of his attitude towards her as if he was her equal. She shook her head clear of any anger that started to form and forced a smile. "I have a minor nuisance that goes by the name of Blaze. He's a human pest that just doesn't want to seem to go away. Our mutual acquaintance is his current lover." The figure shifted as her words revealed to whom she was indicating. He leaned forward to her as he trembled with wrath. "She is here in this realm after all?" his voice boomed. The goddess nodded with a smirk. "That she is. Do with her what you will, but I want him to suffer as a result by whatever you do to her..." "Very well then," his deep voice said as he calmed once more. His large bulk shifted as he turned about towards the door. "I will seek her out and make sure she suffers terribly. And then she will die..." The evil goddess smirked as the powerful entity left her room. His arrogance had been annoying but she knew it was worth having to deal with. This was the one threat Blaze could never defeat. Blaze could overcome numerous foes. The young human could somehow overcome terrible curses. He could even bring death to the most ghastly of monsters known to the world. But he had no hope now.... For the matter was that no being in the world of Anlon could ever kill this new ally of hers... ******************** Blaze coughed and spluttered as he came awake with the wet splash to his face, sitting upright with eyes wide open. Blinking at the bright sunlight, he looked up to the tall sensual figure of the succubus standing over him with a small smirk. Her bat-like wings on her back dripped with wetness after having dropped the water they had gathered from the sea. "Are we awake now?" she hummed sensually as her one hand rested on her cocked hips as her other hand extended out to him. The young man managed a weak smile and nod as he grasped her offered hand and was lifted up to his feet. No sooner than he was did he embrace the beautiful demoness tightly. She gave a short gasp of surprise before relaxing, her arms wrapping about him as well. The couple embraced there on the beach for a few silent moments as Blaze thought it over. How many times? How many times would he come so close to losing her? He realized she was an immortal, but did not know her limitations. From stories he had heard and lessons learned from his master, Blaze knew there were some varieties of immortals that could still die by very specific means or special circumstances. At that moment he fully understood her fierce passion in protecting him as well. He made a solemn promise to himself to protect her with his very life, even though he knew she would not wish it so. He would never lose her... Breaking the embrace, noting her small huff of disgruntlement in doing so, he looked about their surroundings. As he had glimpsed before blacking out, they were indeed on a beach along the lapping waves of the Sonel Sea. Blaze looked in both directions and could see the coastline run as far as his vision could see. It was a comforting sight. Either they had been stranded on an incredibly large island or were on the mainland. It was certainly better than being stuck on a little barren hunk of rock. Looking behind him, Blaze saw nothing but green. Vibrant green with splashes of so many different colors he never thought possible let alone even knew. The trees were odd as well. The vegetation reached so high with a canopy dense enough that deep inside the woods it looked as dark as dusk in the midday light. Frowning, he looked to Kendra whose gazed had followed his. "Where are we? And where are the others?" the troubled young warrior asked. "Well I do not want to even think that they didn't make it," Kendra scowled as she looked around the empty beach that had no signs of their missing friends. "They must have washed ashore at a different place. Either they are on the beach still or they've gone into the jungle looking for us. We must have been washed too far south and are now in the jungles of Sevar" "Jungle!?" he blinked and looked at the trees, having never seen a jungle before. "That's what a jungle is?" The beautiful green-eyed succubus nodded as she flapped her wings gently to dry them of the last drops of water. "Yes. I've only been to a jungle once before though. From what I learned in that experience, the jungle is a lot more dangerous than many of the forests you'll find in Anlon. Poisonous plants, animals, and insects are abundant as well as large predators that can blend in with the surrounding jungle so much as to seem invisible." "Sounds lovely," he muttered in exasperation. He looked into the menacing tropical landscape in front of them as he thought their options over. They could stay where they were and hope beyond hope that their friends survived and would find them. Or they could comb the beach in both directions for days as both sea tides and wind swiftly erode any evidence of their friends' passage. Then there was the last option. Go into the jungle and hope to find them as they were searching for him and Kendra. All three options seemed hopeless. "By Stavros's might I hate this," he growled and shook his head. "But it looks like we'd have a better chance of searching the surrounding jungle for them. It's a better place to find food and water than here on the beach, which makes it more than likely they went in." Kendra remained silent for a moment as she mused over his logic before giving an affirming nod. Blaze swallowed deeply as they walked towards the threshold of the tropical vista. Sharing a look of understanding and caution, they stepped in together and were soon lost within the darkness of the wild jungles. He didn't even bother checking to make sure his blades were loose in their scabbards, but simply pulled them out to be at the ready if needed. This jungle was a whole new type of world to him. And it unnerved him as much as the ruins of Nervei had. It was dark with little light reaching through various thin places in the otherwise thick canopy overhead. This caused a shadowing affect that caused the eyes to just nearly go crazy. Anything could hide anywhere in this environment! Either in darkness or thick vegetation crowding the jungle floor. The potential danger could drive any cautious person mad with paranoia. But Blaze didn't and took comfort that he was with one of the most powerful beings he had met so far in this journey. And he knew damn well Kendra wasn't going to let any harm come to him. But fear wasn't the only thing that coursed through him. Shear amazement and awe filled him as well. Creatures he could have never imagined lived in the jungle. This place must be their only home and thus made them very rare and special. Birds with multicolored wings and beaks flew overhead. Rae would enjoy the wickedly dangerous looking spiders hanging from large webs in their bright colors. He stopped to watch as a massive swarm of ants overwhelmed one of those very spiders with their sheer numbers. Dangers came in different forms, he observed in surprise. Once, he even believed he saw Nadine but soon saw that it was a very large striped jungle cat striding away from them. Vines and plants of all kinds were everywhere and in their path. The young warrior looked down to his blades and sighed, not liking the idea of having to use them for such means of cutting a path. If he caught a tree or a rock he didn't see, he could damage or at the least dull the blades. Oddly enough, he couldn't remember a day when they had been dull. They'd always been razor sharp. About to begin hacking away, he pulled back in shock to avoid hitting Kendra as the winged succubus stepped in front of him. "Allow me, my dear stud," she hummed with a glance back to him and smile before her whip dropped out of her coat sleeve. With movements of blinding speed that his vision could barely follow, the blood red whip lashed out with deafening cracks in rapid succession. The demoness finished by letting the swinging cord twirl about her hips to rest as the normally loud wild jungle went deathly silent. Nothing stirred for a moment before his ears picked up a distinct rustling. Blaze nearly jumped out of his skin when the wall of vines gave way in front of them to come crashing to the jungle floor, including some large trees with their trunks sliced cleanly through. Those beautiful emeralds looked back at him as she cocked her hips and smirked confidently. That soon changed as he walked past her and made her yelp with a slap to her ass with the flat side of his blade. "Show off," he chuckled. Kendra rubbed her ass, smirking as she winked. "Mmmm, save that for later stallion!" They wandered the jungle for an hour with their eyes casting about for their missing friends with no success. They did manage to procure some fresh water from a sudden rainstorm that soaked them completely. They snacked on a few wild berries that the immortal demoness tried first to verify them being safe to eat. At first he objected to such before she explained that she would become ill only briefly before her demonic powers kicked in and removed the toxins from her. His fears put at ease, the couple managed to stay strong in the hot steamy environment by gathering food and water. The young warrior drew up to a halt in front of Kendra, making her stop as well. He was about to turn about to suggest a brief rest upon the fallen tree trunk he saw to his right when it happened. SPLAT! "GAH!" he cried out as he stumbled backwards into Kendra's arms. He couldn't see as his hands quickly wiped at the muck having plastered his face. "What the bloody hell!? I've been slimed!" Kendra helped him regain his balance as he was finally able to clear his eyes to look out from his gunked face. Then the smell hit him and his eyes nearly bugged out of his skull. It smelled bloody awful! "What the hell is this? Where did it come from," he wheezed as he frantically wiped it off his face. "Up there," Kendra said, pointing to odd creatures with tails pointing and cackling at them. "They're monkeys." Monkeys? That was what Blackbeard had called him? Those things! "Why the hell would they throw this muck at me?" "Just the way they are, or so I've heard," she chuckled as she strode past him. "And that isn't muck, dear Blaze." The young warrior just stood there looking after her with eyes blinking before the realization hit him. Oh.... shit! Startled tropical birds exploded out of the forest canopy with the explosion. "YOU DAMN DIRTY APES! GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE SO I CAN KICK THE REST OF THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!!!" Kendra's laughter echoed soon after! ******************* Nadine mewed in frustration as she leapt onto another tree branch high up in the canopy of the jungle. Her sharp lycan eyes scanned the forest floor for any sign of her friends. She thought back to when she woke up alone along the beach. The lycan hated being soaked in seawater like that and it took quite some time for her fur to dry. Even worse, she hated the feeling of despair as she wondered where the others were if they were even alive to begin with. Refusing to accept such, she swiftly brushed that thought out of her head and scouted the beach for hours without any sign of them. Before too long, she realized she would have to try the unfriendly looking jungle in her quest to find them. She knew the dangers of the jungle as many of her lycan race resembled the creatures of the tropics. Wanting to avoid dangers like real pumas and tigers, Nadine figured it would be better to scout from above in the safety of the tree limbs. The catwoman yelped slightly as a flurry of toucans erupted around her and flew off, leaving the frazzled beauty sitting there to catch her breath. She sighed and deftly stood up and sprung from branch to branch, careful to choose sturdy looking ones to cling to with her claws. She searched the next few hours with no success of seeing her friends. Not even a scent of them could be caught on the hot moist breeze. The day wore on with no sign of them. Although she certainly spotted some interesting creatures during this time; including a massive male tiger prowling the bushes below. Sunlight was growing dimmer and shadows beginning to grow as the day wore down to a close. Nadine didn't like the idea of spending the night in the jungle. Night hunters would surely begin to go on the prowl. But she was too far from the beach now. The furry woman sighed in frustration as she put her hands on her hips. "So there you are." The catwoman shrieked in surprise as she just about leapt out of her fur! Death's Mistress stepped out of the shadows of the tree trunk behind the lycan and smirked. The Matron Mother's glowing red eyes looked up to the catwoman who was now suspended upside down on the tree branch above that her claws had sunk into. Her wide golden eyes looked to the drowess in shock as her long bright orange hair swung gently downwards. Rae chuckled at the amusing site and smirked, "Did I surprise you kitty? It looks like one of your nine lives belongs to me now." Nadine scrunched her nose up and stuck her tongue out at the dark elf, eliciting a laugh from her shadowy friend. Her claws withdrew with a click to allow the agile catwoman to roll about in midair and land on her feet with true cat-like agility. "How did you find me?" Nadine asked, ruffled slightly that she hadn't even heard let alone sense the drowess come up on her. Rae winked and stepped up to embrace the furry beauty. "We assassins have our ways of finding even those that don't want to be found, abbil," she hissed teasingly into Nadine's twitching ear. Nadine suppressed the shiver running up her spine as she thanked Stavros that Rae Nitara was on their side. Her arms wrapped about the elf in a returning hug before she stepped back. "I'm so glad you're okay. I was worried... I thought you all... may have..." Rae surveyed her sniffling friend for a moment as she ran over her own thoughts of fear when she thought she'd lost them as well. Though she would never publicly admit to such of course. She reached out to squeeze Nadine's arms comfortingly. Her friend quieted and gave her a winsome smile in return. "Don't fret, Nadine. We'll find the others. But now I have to send out a signal now that I've found you," the drowess said as she turned towards the jungle. Muttering a dark incantation in drow words that Nadine couldn't begin to comprehend, the dark assassin finished the spell with a sharp clang of her metallic spider gauntlets. A shower of sparks rained down from the impact before exploding into bright light in the form of spiders. Nadine's ears wilted swiftly as a piercing hiss filled the surrounding environment, silencing the normal jungle noise. The noise and light swiftly faded shortly thereafter. Nadine looked at Rae questioningly as the drowess stood there with her red eyes looking out towards the jungle. Her ears then perked back up as her eyes lit up with hope as she picked up the distinct sounds of large wings flapping. Turning towards the noise, both women looked to see the redheaded gargoyle coming towards them, swerving around numerous tree trunks. The tree branch gave slightly with the weight as the powerful blue-skinned beauty landed there and smiled to them. Blazing Glory Ch. 10 "So I see you found her as easily as you found me, Rae," Tyra laughed as she was instantly embraced tightly by the catwoman. "Good thing, too. I've noticed a few nasty creatures beginning to wake up for the evening hunt as I've been flying around." Rae nodded, her small smile fading swiftly into her usual cold stoic assassin mask as she looked down to the forest floor. "Then we'd better find Blaze and Kendra as swiftly as we can..." ******************** Blaze edged forward cautiously, blades drawn. Kendra slowly moved by his side gripping her whip as her green eyes cast about. This wasn't good. He knew they were in a seriously bad situation and hoped that they would be able to make it out of this alive. A part of him doubted they would as his eyes scanned the layers of bones laying all about them. They had tried to turn back only to see they were already lost in this terrible area. As the day had worn down in their search, the jungle before them began to change before their very eyes. Lush green vegetation soon began to look sick and wilted. Tree trunks were no longer massive in their thickness, but thin and warped looking. Everything had a sick look to it as if something evil was permeating this area of the lush rainforest. It looked even worse when the light faded and night fell upon them. Luminescent fungus and large mushrooms illuminated the jungle in a sickly green light that made everything look more threatening. Especially the bones... At first, the light revealed just a few bones to them. The ivory pieces of what was once the living gleamed harshly in the green light. Then more bones began to appear around them as they continued onwards. Then the bones began to resemble beasts or creatures of unfamiliar kinds stripped of all flesh and meat. The further they moved on, as they began to look for a way out of this place, the larger and more fearsome the bones became. One in particular made him stop in amazement. It looked like it was a massive beast as monstrous horns extended outwards from its skull. Kendra told him it looked to have been an elephant. Whatever that was, he thought, it was huge! Creatures that looked as fearsome in death as they must have in life soon surrounded them. And the lovers could tell these beasts didn't die peacefully. The bones had numerous scars of claw and teeth marks. Some thick bones like that of the elephant look to have been shattered completely as easily as he could break a twig. By Stavros, he had no wish to meet whatever had done all of this... "Blaze," Kendra whispered with a firm grasp to his arm, drawing him to a sharp halt. Her emerald eyes narrowed dangerously as she looked forward. "There's something ahead... I don't like this feeling I'm getting..." His eyes followed hers toward what lie ahead and saw the opening in the sick jungle. A poisonous bog expanded outwards before them like a large pond or lake, for it was hard to tell with the noxious mist that hovered over it. Covering their mouth and noses from the stench, they looked for any swift way around this obstacle and saw none. It was clearly a large body of fouled water that would take some time to travel around. With resigned sighs, the couple began walking to the right to try and go around rather than spend a night in this place. But Blaze only took a few steps before he drew to a halt, swearing he heard something. Kendra stopped and looked back to him questioningly but he didn't notice as his gaze turned to the mossy and foul waters of the lake. He saw what he thought he'd heard as a bubble formed and broke the surface with a nasty plop before more began to follow. The young warrior's eyes widened as what happened next seemed like a vision out of his worst nightmares. The dark shadow fell over them and the jungle grew silent as it rose above them. The slimy waters and mud sliding off its massive form into the waters of the swamp was the only sound made. Not even their breath came from them to make a sound, frozen as both Blaze and Kendra were as the monster of the jungle swamp reared up before them. Blaze could only describe the horrifying creature as disgusting. It looked like a large malformed lizard of sorts. It walked on all six legs that angled out from its sides. Three long tails climbed high to the forest canopy above it, hypnotizing sway in motion with a wicked looking stinger on the end of each. A long snout snapped loudly in their air to reveal ugly sharp teeth made for rending flesh into tatters. Beady black eyes focused on them hungrily before it unleashed an unearthly deafening roar. "Stavros protect us..." Blaze whispered prayerfully. He and Kendra shared a fearful look before they sprang apart instantly. Moist dirt exploded where they had been as the three stingers slammed into the ground. Blaze rolled on the ground when he landed and came up to his feet swiftly. His feet were already moving him as the beast chose to center on him, the prey with more dangerous looking defenses with his blades. Just his blasted luck, he thought while grunting and diving aside to avoid another stinger. The young warrior gasped and looked up just in time to see the massive maw open wide and about to snap shut on him! Shit! Relying on sheer instincts and desperation alone, he sprang from his crouch as high he could. With a thunderous clap, the jaws slammed shut barely beneath his feet. The damn beast was smarter than it looked he thought to himself with a curse. That damn stinger had been meant to push him right where it would attack. Kendra flew into view and grabbed him in midair. Spinning about, she hurled him out of the way before landing in front of the monster. He landed against a tree, driving the wind out of him and rendering him immobile for a moment. Her beautiful face bore a furious scowl as the creature focused on her supple form instead after the disappointment of missing the other prey. Along with the sounds of slimy thrashing about as it worked its massive body more out of the swamp, the harsh cracks of Kendra's whip filled the air as she unleashed a hellish fury upon it. Not expecting such ferocity in its prey, the beast reeled back and roared as it experienced the unexpected pain of that dangerous red cord. Blaze felt a surge of triumph before it faded as quickly. The succubus's whip, instead of rendering its victim to pieces as usual, only dented its scaly armor. Still, brownish ooze seeped out from those impacts in what he supposed was the monster's blood. Maddened to a hateful fury from receiving pain, the beast surged forward in a blind rage at Kendra. The demoness spun aside from the snapping jaws and slammed her fist into the side of its snout. The swamp monster gave a startled cry of pain as the powerful force sent it crashing onto its side. As Blaze's breath began to fill his lungs once again, he recognized the dangerous look on Kendra's face. She intended to tear the beast to pieces for trying to kill him. Regaining its senses from the surprise blow, the slimy fiend righted itself and immediately rushed the leather clad beauty. Leaping backwards with the added momentum of her wings flapping, the succubus avoid those snapping fangs before slamming its snout down into the dirt with another powerful punch. Kendra flexed her hand and cracked her knuckles as she readied to pound this swamp monster into a stain on the ground. Blaze stumbled to his feet and gasped hoarsely, "Kendra! Look out!" Too focused on the beast in her furious rage, the tail caught her off guard. He heard her gasp of surprise with the air driven out of her lungs as it slammed into her midsection and sent her careening out of view. Growling in anger, he retrieved his blades swiftly and charged the monster as it looked up to him. That very tail stabbed forward with its stinger with speed he knew it already possessed now. But still he was barely able to bring his blade up in time to deflect the stinger. All that the young human knew next was that he was in trouble as all three tails assaulted him immediately. The agile youth did all he can to deflect the attacks and dodging those that he couldn't parry. He crouched, rolled, flipped, and even was forced to uncomfortably drop down into splits lest he lose his head to the jaws snapping just above him. No matter how fast he desperately tried to get away, the monster was always upon him with its uncanny speed and strength from desire to kill its prey for the devouring to occur soon after. Blaze knew he was beginning to tire, but couldn't manage to get any offensive going. His arms were aching from the constant motion of using his blades. His legs burned from the constant dodging jumps and thrusts as he was moving backwards in steady retreat. What eventually was going to happen finally did as he was too slow to react to the upward slam of the tail to his right and was sent soaring up into the vulnerable air. Another tail caught him at the peak of his ascent and with great force sent him crashing into the ground below. Spitting up blood, Blaze gasped for air as he struggled to move. Damn his body! It was moving too slow! Come on, he thought desperately. The swamp monster now hovered only a few feet away as it poised its stinger high to strike its triumphant killing blow. Blaze cursed as his vision began to blur and dropped down back to the ground. He'd suffered a serious head blow from the fall and was beginning to black out, he realized. Of all the bloody damn times! In a foggy daze, he watched the stinger dart for the kill. He wasn't sure what happened next, but Kendra was instantly above his prone position in putting herself between the deadly point and him. The massive tail curled up in its length as it was stopped forcefully in its forward movement. The demoness slid back but held her ground as her hands grasped the end of the tail. Blaze thought he must be dreaming now as it seemed impossible that Kendra could have stopped that huge tail, let alone catch the wicked end in her own hands. The succubus hissed in sheer seething rage as Blaze began to surely hallucinate more in his delirium. He had to be. Because Kendra was glowing in his blurred vision! A red aura surrounded her form, expanding and growing brighter with every passing second. Those black wings on her back grew in size along with the aura to a large wingspan big enough to dwarf Tyra's. A red barbed tail like a true devil swung from her shapely ass. What surprised him even further was Kendra's face. From his angle, he swore her fangs grew longer until she looked like a vampire! And her eyes.... There were no whites, as her eyes were glowing a brilliant evil green! Surely this was a nightmare with the monster and now this. For he was looking at a demon from the very pits of hell! "He's mine..." she hissed in an unearthly voice. "I won't let you take him from me!" With a primal scream, the succubus's muscles bulged with demonic power. The shocked monster was lifted off the ground as she twisted around with the tail in her steel grasp. Unleashing both a startled and fearful roar, the slimy creature swung around with the demoness. With a smirk of bloodlust, Kendra swung the creature around in a circle like a toy to crash through several trees with such force that they splintered into bits. Bringing her arms up, she slammed it down upon its back into the ground with so much force that a crater was created by the thunderous impact. A new roar emerged from the beast as one of agony as it writhed about on its back in an effort to regain its feet so it may retreat. "Now die," Kendra whispered venomously. Her red aura that had been continuously growing brighter up until this point flared up to where it was nearly blinding before erupting into a swirling mass of black and blood red hellfire. A column of the conflagration exploded forth from her to engulf the struggling ugly beast. The swamp monster screamed now in pain before it was swiftly silenced as it was reduced to nothing. Not even ashes and bone fragments remained. Blaze's vision was getting worse as did his concussion and obvious hallucinating. The demoness turned around to look down at him now with those glowing green eyes. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she studied him before kneeling at his side. He felt warmth embrace him before she scooped him up in those wings to embrace him tightly to her as he finally blacked out... ******************** Groaning in the dim light of the lush jungle, Blaze's eyes squinted open as he came to. He about jumped out of his skin when he found himself looking into glowing eyes once more. Heart pounding with the fear, he came to realize they were red and not green. The beautiful obsidian face above him smiled softly. "Good to see you're awake, Patron," she whispered softly as she ran her dark coveting hand down his cheek. "You're fine now." He groaned as he sat up, muscles stiff. "What happened?" His mind tried to answer him with flashes of the monster and Kendra... changing, but he quickly dismissed it. "That is what I was about to ask you, dear Blaze," the assassin said with a frown as she dropped from her crouch to kneel by his side. All about them the jungle was alive and lush with life once again, convincing him further that the dying jungle, monster, and... It was a dream! Perhaps that 'jungle fever' he'd heard old men tell tales about. "We found the both of you out cold," his drowess lover continued on, red eyes studying him as if surely something was wrong though he did not know why she would. "Both of you were fine. But what troubles me is where we found you two." Blaze blinked as he felt a dangerous stirring in his heart about what she was alluding to. "And?" he asked tentatively. Death's Mistress sighed with a troubled look herself as she was recalling the vision of it. "Everything was destroyed. We found you two in the middle of an area clearing that had been completely destroyed. The ground was blasted black from whatever force had hit it. The trees around the perimeter of it were dead as well, but not by burning to ashes from some fire. Their sides facing inward toward the destruction were melted Blaze....." Blaze looked to her in complete shock. It was a dream wasn't it? It had to have been! Rae saw his looked and frowned herself. "Surely you know what happened, Blaze. Don't you remember? How could you do have survived such annihilation?" she asked pressingly. "I... I'm not sure... Not quite yet..." He muttered before looking around quickly. "Where's Kendra?" Rae snorted as she folded her arms beneath her breasts. "That woman? She's fine. Problem is she won't answer any of our questions about this either. She just remains silent and looks away. I'm convinced that succubus knows something and isn't spilling it." If she wasn't telling her friends, he doubted she would likely tell him. Close as the two of them were, Rae's description of Kendra's reaction to the pressing inquiries told him that she was uncomfortable with it. No discussion would be accomplished by pressing harder. "Let's leave her be then. If she wants to tell us about it, she will in due time," he sighed. Rae grudgingly nodded in agreement. "But that woman is hiding something from us that she doesn't want us to know. I can promise you that." Kendra must have her own reasons for not wanting to talk about it, he thought. Regardless, he would trust her in whatever action she chose. ******************** Within the hour, the group of friends was reunited finally. It was getting later in the day and they made the decision to forage for some food and water wherever they could before settling in for the night. The next day they would set out to make their way out of the jungle and back to the ocean where they would travel northward. Kendra remained aloof in talking about the incident while they went about their searching. She remained friendly and talked well enough while helping the others. But she never once mentioned a word about it. The others could tell she would have nothing to do with saying anything about it and that was that. So they put it out of their minds and moved on rather than jeopardize friendships by pushing the succubus. "..and then after I spoke, she did the best spider imitation I'd ever seen as she hung upside down by her claws!" Rae laughed as the others chuckled. Nadine pouted and lightly punched Rae in the shoulder, "Well you didn't have to sneak up on me and scare me so bad!" The drowess smirked and laughed all the harder before giving the lycan a light-hearted hug. That had been the mood they were all in now. They were all incredibly relieved to have found the others alive and well. Joy filled them so much that even the dark assassin was unusually bright in mood. Blaze grinned back to them before looking back to the bush he was studying that bore an odd looking round fruit. It looked edible enough but he wasn't sure if it was poisonous or not. He reached in to grab one as he looked back to Kendra. The fruit felt smooth and soft yet firm, hinting at maybe the inside not being so edible. "Hey, Kendra! I need you over here to see if you know this fr..." His breath seized as something seized his throat powerfully. The young warrior could only wheeze out a gasp as the others looked to see why he stopped speaking suddenly. They were shocked to see part of the bush lift up and Blaze along with it. His legs kicked out in the air now as his one hand gripped at his throat. Looking down, he was surprised to see that it was a hand gripping him! Following the hand up to the muscled arm and further towards its owner, he gasped when he saw the large woman camouflaged much like the bush along with mud and paint. Looking down, he blinked when he saw that he wasn't grabbing a fruit but a large melon rather in an Amazonian woman's tit! Oh shit... "Don't move," her voice commanded as his friends began to come to his aide, "or I crush his throat." Blaze swallowed audibly at that threat as sweat trickled down his face that was certainly not from the tropical heat. His four companions froze hesitantly as they shared uncertain looks, questioning whether they could act swiftly enough in killing the Amazon warrior. The strong cold stare from those blue eyes of the warrior dared them defiantly to try so she could prove that they would fail. He waved them off with his free hand before they could decide. Threatening as she seemed, the Amazon could have killed him already had that been her intent all along. Her blue eyes looked to him now coldly with mild disgust hidden in those depths. "You're not as stupid as I'd expect a man to be, I'll give you that. You must also have trust in your companions to heed your commands to remain where they are. But still a disgusting man nonetheless..." He was half-tempted to stick his tongue out at her in response to her sexist rhetoric, but she was going to squeeze it out anyway at the rate of her hand gripping his throat tightly! Lifting her free hand to her supple lips, the jungle warrior unleashed a short high-pitched whistle. They all waited for a moment as nothing happened. Blaze studied her looks in the meantime to take his mind away from the painful burn in his neck. Her physique was amazing. He knew he was toned himself as well as his friends being very strong or athletic in their bodies to suite their abilities. But he was nothing compared to this woman. He doubted there was an ounce of fat on her. Yet she managed to keep a very attractive womanly figure. He'd seen in a circus before a strong arm woman as an attraction. That woman was so massively muscled that many thought she was a man for she had a flat chest and tight ass due to the intense muscularity. Not so with this Amazon! If not for the blood circulation being cut from his head by her grip, his blood may very well be gushing out of his nose. Her tits were as big as Tyra's and an ass shapely enough to give Nadine and Rae some competition. Her long blonde hair swayed gently behind her in the moist, humid breeze. Beautiful, yet not more so than his friends, let alone Kendra. Blazing Glory Ch. 10 The bushes behind the woman holding him began to stir before three other women emerged, similarly camouflaged. One was a fierce looking woman with straight black hair and steamy grey eyes. Another was a pale beauty with a wild mane of shock white hair and blue eyes so pale they looked almost white. The last was a foxy auburn haired beauty with creamy brown depths. "Sethera," the auburn warrioress addressed the blonde holding Blaze, all the while eyeing his friends suspiciously. "It's true what our leader foresaw in her vision." "The Srythe is no more then, Teala?" Sethera stated coolly, gaze never once laving Blaze's. "Yes," the auburn beauty answered with an expression mixed with awe and relief. "It is no more! No sign of it anywhere in its lake." "Ryshe!" Sethera barked snapping her white haired companion to attention before she glanced aside to the black haired warrior, "Farlee! What do you two have to report?" Ryshe shook her head with disbelief in her eyes, "Most of the Srythe's territory was completely destroyed as foretold it would be." "And their tracks led out of the area to where we now stand," Farlee finished as she pointed to the group of friends. Sethera closed her eyes as she didn't look to believe this news herself. Blaze could already tell that they were referring to the monster that attacked him and Kendra. By their expressions, such a feat seemed unlikely and impossible to believe or comprehend. But if the monster hadn't been a dream... Then surely... How he wished he could turn about and ask Kendra then if it were really true what he'd seen. But the hand gripping his throat prevented motion let alone enough breathing to accomplish such. "Very well then. Listen up ladies. Your friend here will not be harmed as long as you do as I say," she growled threateningly to his friends. "That is until we decide of a proper way to dispose of this... man." The way she looked at him when she said that word made it seem like a drowess saying the same was a kind word in comparison. He swallowed as much as he could. He didn't like this. Not one bit at all. ******************** Flynn roared as he drove his axe down upon a goblin soldier with so much force that he split the filthy bugger in two! His massive dwarven muscles bulged with the effort of the swing but did not tire in the least. He was like all the other men of his race. When they were not battling for their lives against the creatures of the underworld, they were busy mining and constructing. The constant hard work kept a dwarven male more than strong enough to make up for what they lacked in height. They took pride that they did not need such an attribute and could cute any tall opponent down to size with one mighty swing of a dwarven axe. Yet, in all their tenacity, the dwarven army was beginning tire. Two days earlier, the goblin forces had surged forward into dwarven territory with numbers far greater than ever before. And they fought as if possessed by demons. It had been a bloody campaign that went back and forth with heavy casualties on both sides. Yet they kept on coming! It seemed as if there was no end to them while it was clear that the dwarves were being reduced gradually with every passing hour. What had prompted this sudden, ferocious action by normally cowardly slime like the goblins, Flynn wondered. He stood at one of the foremost lines in the Great Hall of Logoria that was one of the dwarven race's greatest prides. It was a massive cavern whose ceilings could never be lit alone by the torches that adorned its many massive supporting columns. Those columns stretched away as far as the eye could see in the darkness. One could easily get lost in Logoria if they did not know their way about it. But it had been built as a major crossroads in the underworld to connect many paths to other dwarven cities. And in this Great Hall, thousands of bodies lay dead now in the bloody battle for control of such a vital artery of his race. The dwarves fought with sheer determination to not lose Logoria as the Hall was now divided in half by who controlled its vast chamber. Vile goblin blood splattering his beard as he decapitated another foe, Flynn's mind wondered to other matter that concerned him. Where were the elves? With the dwarves losing men and tiring as they were, they needed the assistance more than ever. No sign and not even word of the elves coming had reached them. Had they been abandoned? Flynn fiercely denied such thoughts angrily by spearing another goblin in the gut with the top-spike of his war axe. He had stood before Queen Roselei that day and received her assurances of assistance. And on his journey back, he had heard whispered rumors about a supposed attack on the Elven royal city he had just left. He silently prayed that nothing ill had befallen that kind woman they called Queen. A sudden roar in front of him brought his attention about. He cursed himself for getting lax and letting his mind wander in the middle of a battle. Eyes focusing towards the sound of a fierce clash, his heart nearly dropped into his stocky dwarven boots. Orcs! Out of the goblin hordes facing the frontline of the valiant but desperately fight dwarves came a battalion of the massive brutes wielding battle axes and clubs to match what his own countrymen were fighting with. The knot of pig-headed brutes caught the dwarves off guard with their sudden appearance and broke the line. He roared in furious anger as goblins swiftly filled in behind, circling about to cut off many of his men from the rest and decimate them in bloody fashion. His blood boiled at the sight of so many comrades, some being dear friends he'd known for a long time, falling down as their lives were extinguished. Gripping his battleaxe, he readied to order a group of his men to rally together and charge right back at the goblin and orc forces. But his words froze upon his tongue as he saw a massive shadow loom up above right behind the advancing orcs. "Dear spirits," he gasped as the shock froze him where he stood as well as many others about him. Even the opposing forces stopped to look back behind them to witness what stopped the dwarves from fighting. A giant! The massive rock giant with its ugly weathered face glared down at them from what had to be twenty feet off the ground. Slung casually over his shoulders was a club that was as big as a bloody tree. In fact, it very well was a tree that had all of its branches ripped away. It unleashed a foul battle cry that filled the massive Hall of Logoria with echoes that continued on long after. It brought its club down with such force that some dwarves were instantly crushed before they could get out of the way. It swept the rough looking club aside and sent other comrades of Flynn's sailing away into the darkness, flying with the sheer power of the giant's swing. The hordes of Koas roared in triumphant cries of glee and battle lust as their confidence grew all the more. The dwarves shared looks of foreboding before Flynn realized that they had lost Logoria. It was apparent now why the hordes were fighting so fiercely for the largest passageways through the underworld. His heart was broken that they could no longer defend those routes let alone their homes. The enemy was simply too great in numbers and power to combat. They needed help and had to retreat in order to obtain such. Destroy their homes as they might, he would rather that than be decimated. Homes and cities could be replaced, not lives. "Retreat!" he roared. There was a few stunned looks from his men before nodded, not ones to question their leader. The dwarves immediately relayed the command and sounded the horns. As one cohesive unit, they all turned and ran for the tunnels they knew better than the enemy and could swiftly lose them in. Though the hordes were hot on their heels, they made it out of the great Hall of Logoria. As Flynn's chest heaved with the heavy breathing of running with his men, he felt the wetness of his tears matting his beard. ******************** Blaze grimaced as he was shoved yet another time. Tempted to fire a glare back over his shoulder, he decided not to. Sethera behind him with her spear seemed to like pushing him about. The last thing he needed to do was give her even the slightest reason to spear him through. Onward he stumbled through the jungle as best he could, trying to avoid roots and vines that would trip him up and frustrate their captors. His friends followed them between the guard of the other amazons. They didn't look to be happy with the situation they were in. Nadine glanced about furtively in nervousness, wanting to avoid giving them an excuse to hurt him. Tyra, uncomfortable as she looked, tried to maintain a composed cooperation as his guardian as a way of hopefully safeguarding him. Rae glowered darkly, eyeing each female jungle warrior for ways to kill them swiftly and efficiently. Kendra was a seething cauldron of fury ready to explode. But none would act for fear of swift action by Sethera to end his life in an instant. Captive as he was, Blaze was still alert enough to see a few traps hidden in clever fashion as they moved along. The deadly traps were increasing in number the further he went. He was silently thankful to his master for teaching him tracking skills as well as fighting or else any unaware poor soul would easily stumble into these. A couple hours after they had been captured by the Amazons and forced into the long march, they broke the jungle into a large clearing. Passing through a number of Amazon guards, who all were busty and equally attractive as well, they made their way down to the village. It was an expansive one about the size of his hometown. But instead of houses and taverns, this one was filled with huts made out of sturdy bamboo and jungle lumber. The roofs were cleverly thatched with broad leafs he'd seen on the trees. A stream wound its way alongside the perimeter of the village, making them have to cross a low bamboo bridge before striding into the heart of their captor's home. Numerous females of tall stature and beauty passed them by, glancing their way curiously. Blaze couldn't help but notice that he had yet to see one male in the entire village. His eyes spotted a few locations where spikes planted firmly into the ground adorned skulls at the top, having been pierced through. Those and the nature of the looks he was receiving by the village inhabitants made him begin to sweat, and not from the heat! They now entered the center of the village in which large hut was located. It was by far the largest one in the whole village. Four normal huts could fit inside this one easily. They had gathered a following by this time as word had spread as swift as a brushfire throughout the whole village. All of the Amazon women now surrounded them in a crescent-moon entourage, cutting off any escape with only the large central hut before them. Beaded strings dangled over the entryway and were swiftly pushed aside as a woman stepped outside. His breath caught in his throat. He did not know why it did as he had seen plenty of unique looking women on this journey. Perhaps it was the stark contrast from the rest of the Amazons surrounding them. Vibrant green like that of the surrounding jungle was the color of her hair. The only color he could tell in the whole village. Her body was built to be able to withstand any challenger with ease and bring them to their knees. Sparsely across her body in various places were scars from a long history of dangerous battles. But as with the others, her body maintained the alluring curves of a woman still. She wore the same clothing as the others, except that about her neck she wore a necklace filled with feathers of such brilliant colors that it nearly hurt his eyes to look at. Her eyes were the softest brown of jungle wood but held the icy fire of a bloodstained warrior within. Clearly, this was the leader of the Amazons. His judge, jury, and likely executioner. "Sethera," her cool, commanding voice said, silencing all murmurs and shuffling about them. "What news do you bring of the mission I sent you on?" Sethera stepped around Blaze and knelt before the green-haired jungle vixen. "Queen Alestra, it is as you envisioned. The Srythe was destroyed by these foreigners..." Shocked murmurs, whispered disbelief, and claims of denial soon filled the air as the observant crowd heard this. Soon it grew louder in volume before being abruptly silenced by the raised fist of Alestra. Her eyes surveyed the crowd coolly, indicating she would tolerate not another raucous outburst from her people. Looking back to Sethera, who still knelt, she nodded for the warrior to continue. "The entire lair of the beast was destroyed with their tracks leading out of it. We caught them easily enough though by capturing their one male companion and threatening his life. They surrendered swiftly after." A delicate brow rose at this before those brown eyes turned to them. Queen Alestra frowned after observing them before looking to Blaze. He swallowed under her gaze. By that look he knew he was nothing more than the dirt she tread upon. "An impressive feat that you have done, ladies," The Amazon Queen stated only to the females, clearly not believing Blaze could possibly have contributed in any fashion. "When I foresaw this in my vision, even I began to wonder if my ability had become clouded. Such a thing could not seem possible after all of the mighty warriors of this village the beast has claimed." She stepped forward and walked in front of his friends, looking into their eyes as she spoke. "Yet you allowed yourselves to be captured easily. And for this... man. What worth has he? Why is he so... special," she ended with distaste as she glared into his eyes now, standing before him. As much as he feared his position at the moment, her comments bleeding with sexism stirred a fire within him. His anger grew and made him raise his head high and glare defiantly right back into her eyes. This spirited gesture from him made the corners of her lips quirk slightly as her eyes filled with contempt. "Answer," she stated coldly with many implications spoken by that one worded command. "He's sweet and thoughtful," Nadine chirped in quickly, clearly hoping a swift answer might spare him. Tyra nodded along with Nadine as she added, "Steadfast and honorable." "An incredible warrior with great speed and strength," Rae contributed with pride of her Patron. Kendra's beautiful emerald eyes gazed to him as her soft vanilla lips curved up into that small smile she only gave him. "Wonderful and loving." Alestra's gaze snapped instantly at those words to look at the succubus. "'Wonderful'? 'Loving' you say? I hardly believe that." She whipped around and strode towards the open area as she spread her arms wide in emphasis. "Men have a stranglehold on this world with the simple liberties and equalities over women. They are pigs who lust. Men lust for power! They lust for war! Lust for money!" Alestra turned around and spat at Blaze's feet to the approval of the observing Amazons. "They are anything but wonderful. And loving you say? Let me mention one more thing they lust for. Women. Sex! Their own personal physical gratification! They never care for women! More often than not they are running around in other women's beddings like whores themselves. And they force themselves upon the helpless. They rape women and leave them behind like a used cumrag without another thought! Men are abominations and only deserve death at the point of our spears!" The crowd of feminist jungle warriors erupted into cheers and hoots of approval. This was one outburst that Alestra had no problem in allowing. But the cheers soon died down into dismayed and disgruntled murmurs at one thing. The one thing was Blaze laughing softly to himself. Sethera herself looked back to him in complete shock and growing fury. CRACK! The harsh impact split the air sickeningly and blood sprayed the dirt. Alestra clenched her fist tightly in barely controlled rage as Blaze looked back up to her. He raised his hand to rub his jaw and wipe his split lip that bled heavily. "Answer me this... " Alestra hissed, "before I have you gutted right here. What is so amusing?" Despite the swelling of his lip and the pain that throbbed in it, Blaze managed a small smile. "Oh it was that speech of yours. It was so inspiring to your people. In many ways, I can see what you've said as truthful. But in all those accusations in your fierce, devout belief of such... There is an answer to go along with all the wrongs that men do..." The green-haired beauty glowered down to him, "And that answer is?" Blaze straightened himself, rolled his shoulders in bravado, and smiled wide right back at her. "So. Do. Women!" Blaze didn't see it coming. He only saw white as pain exploded through his skull. The next thing he knew, he was on the ground as blood leaked out of his nose and his vision tunneled. He fought to stay conscious as he looked up to Alestra standing over him in a cold, collected rampaging fury. He could see in those cold eyes already the horrible things she was going to do to him. Glancing to his side, he saw Kendra and the others struggle as their concern for him grew. But their struggling ceased as the Amazons grasped them firmly and threatened to kill him then and there if they continued. Kendra look very well near the point of trying anyways, but he could see the small doubt in her eyes that formed making her wonder if they truly could kill him before she could even blink. Terror filled her beautiful green eyes. Such a site filled him with rising anger to where he rose ominously before the glaring Alestra. Startled gasps filled the air when he sent bloody spittle to the ground in front of her feet. Her brown eyes looked down before swiftly looking back up to him. Blaze simply smirked. "You know you're awfully quick to throw me in with the rest of that lot before even getting to know me. I've never been one to mistreat or disrespect a woman. Call me a traditionalist like the rest, but I always take care to be courteous and kind to them. But you wouldn't want to hear that now would you? But you know what's worse? The fact, in all your sexist feministic hatred of men, you aren't impressing my views of 'women' then either!" Angry mutters circulated about the all-female crowd as Alestra coldly observed him. Her eyes glanced towards the women before her head snapped in their direction. "You! All of you are smitten with this man aren't you? Why aren't you furious that he is sleeping with one of the others standing beside you now?" "Because," Tyra answered before the others. The blue-skinned beauty's normal calm countenance was slowly evaporating into anger along with the rest at the vile words spoken against Blaze. "He is different! Yes he has had sex will all of us and continues to do so!" Cheers came from the crowd at the confirmation of Blaze's typical male infidelity as proof that their ideal was truly substantiated. But Tyra shook her head furiously and shouted above them angrily now. "But he isn't using us! He's the opposite of everything you've accused him to be! Blaze cares for each and every one of us. When we have sex with him, he doesn't do it for himself. He clearly is doing everything he can for us! For us to enjoy the experience moreover than himself! And we're often left in a blissful state in the end as a result!" "He's pretty damn good, that he is," Rae confirmed with a sexy smirk. Alestra, for a brief moment, looked shocked at this declaration before she collected herself seconds later. The cool Queen of the Amazons then smirked coldly. "Then I have an idea. A proposal moreover. You say such but it is very hard to believe he could please you so greatly. There is only one being that knows how to pleasure a woman best and that... is another woman. If you can prove otherwise, I will let him live and all of you set free." Blazing Glory Ch. 10 Amongst the surprised talk from the Queen's followers, Blaze's friends shared looks apprehensively before nodding that they were listening. Alestra nodded with a cold smile, "Good then. Right here, right now you will be pleasured by those that captured you. You will participate with them willingly or else he will be turned into a stationary practice target for my archers instead while you watch. Am I clear? Good. At the end, you will answer my one question to decide his fate." Kendra and Rae looked simply vexed at having to go through with this while he was held captive. Nadine simple looked about in disbelief while Tyra laid a comforting claw on the lycan's shoulder, she herself reserved to this. "Sethera," Alestra barked, snapping the beautiful blonde Amazon to attention. "Bring your prisoner to me and pick your captive to pleasure." Blaze grunted as he was shoved over to the Queen, who turned him about with his arm twisted behind his back painfully to hold him in place. By Stavros, she was strong as an ox! With her free hand she handed Sethera what looked to be a pair of panties. Blaze's eyes bugged out at this strange occurrence. "Sethera. Since you were the main cause in their capture, I grant you honor of the holy thong of our goddess Hippolyta to use upon the woman of your choice." Sethera quickly dropped to a knee as she accepted the scanty pair of panties. To Blaze, it truly did look like the warrior was beyond words of receiving such a grandeur privilege. As to why completely confounded him. Alestra pulled him tightly up against her lean, firm body as his friends were sorted out. She leaned down to where those supple lips press to his ear from behind. "You will watch this," she hissed hatefully. "You will watch my warriors please them like no man ever could. And when I ask them who was better, if even one admits her Amazon lover was better... I will cut your throat myself right here." Blaze's fists clenched into furious fists, wishing he could strike this sexist witch holding him. He watched in frustration as the sensual goddess that was his lover looked with emerald green eyes as the blonde warrior approached her. The other warriors stepped up to their chosen mates. The auburn Teala stepped up to Tyra, gazing eye to eye with the beautiful gargoyle that was as tall as she. Nadine stepped back as the raven haired Farlee gazed lustily down at her. The white haired vixen Ryshe winked down to the drowess, who in turn looked like she wanted to rip out the other's throat rather than go through with this. Any notion of resistance in his friends were snuffed out instantly in that moment as Alestra twisted his arm further, making him grunt in pain audibly. With angry glances, the ladies that were clothed began to remove their garments. Their Amazon partners followed in the same action as well. Within a minute, Blaze was soon treated to the mind-blowing sight of eight drop-dead gorgeous women standing in the sunlight naked as the day they were born. If Alestra hadn't been holding him so firmly, his legs would have gone out from beneath him. Teala was the first to step forward and embrace her gargoyle companion, lustily kissing his guardian's soft lips as she pressed her full breasts against the large blue mounds. Tyra seemed taken aback at first and wanting to pull away before remembering Blaze. The beautiful redheaded gargoyle soon eagerly returned the kiss as her hands began to roam about the Amazon's lush body. Nadine whimpered as the raven haired Amazon among the four caressed the lycan's sensitive ears with her tongue in fascination. Farlee's hands grasped those large furry tits and gently kneaded them with her expert hands. The catwoman's orange hair swayed side to side as her body began to betray her, Nadine's aroused nipples poking up out of her fur for Farlee to gently roll about and squeeze them. A moan drew Blaze's gaze over to see Rae shivering. The shortest of the amazons was down on her hands and knees as she hungrily lapped at the wet dark folds of the drowess's pussy. Death's Mistress desperately grasped Ryshe's head full of white hair for support, her own eyes closed as the pleasure coursed through her dark lush body. He could see the Amazon's tongue swirling about those lovely folds in ways he hadn't imagined before and were quite obviously very effective as Rae bit off a short scream. "See," Alestra's voice hissed by his ear. "No man can pleasure a woman like we women of the jungle can." Gritting his teeth in anger as doubt and fear began to well up within him, Blaze looked over to Kendra. He could hear the appreciative whispers and gazes of lust as everyone looked over Kendra's perfect body. Not one of them could even begin to come close at how perfect the demon was and they envied Sethera in that she could possess that body in front of them all. He blinked with his beautiful lover as the naked Amazon actually slipped the scanty underwear on. Both the lovers shared the same thought at the same time. Why was she redressing? Blaze soon found out why as from even this angle he could see her privates were still exposed in the opening in the front of the thong. Sethera reached down as she whispered something that sounded like prayers before she began to moan. Blaze gawked in sheer shock as the Amazon simply stood there with her hands in her crotch, masturbating in front of everyone. Kendra even seemed unsure of what was happening before she gasped, taking a step backwards. Blaze would have reeled backwards himself if not for the tight grasp of his captor. Sethera unleashed on final lusty moan before a long thick cock emerged from her cunt. It wasn't bloody fake either. Blaze could tell just by looking at it, even though he didn't want to, that it was a real flesh and blood cock drooling heavily with precum out of the slit. "Surprised male?" Alestra chuckled into his ear. "See the gift our goddess has given us so that we do not need men. We can have all the children we desire and they will all be girls." "But that doesn't change the fact you dickless women need one still to begin with now does it?" Blaze grunted in pain as she twisted his arm so much so that he thought it was about to break. "Watch your tongue, man," she spat hissingly, "lest I forget myself and gut you right now." The young warrior could only nod and swallow as his eyes looked on. The sensual succubus looked unsure about this before her green eyes turned to look at him. They softened in the way he knew they only did for him before her resolve solidified itself. Striding forward with a sensual sway of a sexual goddess, Kendra came up to Sethera with a smirk. Sethera seemed slightly taken aback from all of this sudden change in her captive's mood, especially when the demoness grasped the Amazon's head to pull her into a fierce kiss. This action gave her other friends more confidence as they began to engage more willingly with their Amazon partners. Sethera moaned into the hot kiss as the two beauties tongues danced with each other. Kendra pulled back to break the kiss, a small strand of saliva connecting their tongues as proof of their lusty encounter. Teala cried out passionately now as Tyra aggressively fondled the Amazon's firm tits, rolling those taut erect nipples about with her fingers. Beneath the Amazon swayed the long blue tail of the gorgeous guardian. Its tip was teasing the sensitive budding clit of the warrior's aroused pussy before it began to slowly push upward into the jungle vixen, penetrating her quim beautifully. "Oh goddess!" Farlee cried out in ecstasy, drawing his gaze. The raven haired warrior was on the ground, lying upon her back. She squirmed about as Nadine assaulted those big round jugs that jutted up proudly into the air. Brushing some bright orange hair away from her golden eyes, Nadine glanced briefly to Blaze before looking back to Farlee as her semi-rough tongue swirled about the sensitive aureoles on those breasts. Every once in a while, her tongue would gratify her Amazon lover by sliding over those hard nipples. Even better for the Amazon, the lycan would suckle on a nipple and purr loudly to send erotic vibrations through the sensitive nipples to elicit short screams from Farlee. Ryshe's wild mane of white hair whipped about now as she also cried out in short screams. Rae and she had switched positions so that now the dark assassin was going in for the kill on that sweet cunt with her tongue. And by the increasing volume of screams of ecstasy, Rae was in no doubt doing that very thing. Sweet jungle juices were gathered in by her tongue to savor as beads of sweat began to form on her dark obsidian body. Just the view of those black orbs glistening so wetly and jiggling slightly with her movements made Blaze ache with desire. He wasn't the only one affected either. Some of the surrounding amazons in the crowd were already on the ground masturbating openly as they watched on with glazed eyes. Alestra herself even moaned slightly into his ear, her grip loosening slightly in her growing arousal. That changed swiftly though as she regained herself and tightened the grip once more with a clearing of her throat. "Oh goddess YES! Suck it! More! MORE!" Sethera panted loudly. The tanned beauty that he cared for so deeply was now on her knees before the blonde Amazon, tongue swirling about the flared head of that large cock. The succubus's tongue gathered up the precum into her mouth with savoring hum and swallow, lusty green eyes gazing up to her female lover. Blaze knew exactly what the Amazon was feeling right now and it was nothing short of ecstasy beyond any description. Even the amazons around him remarked on her astounding techniques. Kendra took that large cock into her mouth with one swift motion and her head was rapidly bobbing up and down upon it with loud wet slurps. Sethera shrieked in bliss as her knees nearly gave out from beneath her! "GAH! NOOO!!! YOU CAN'T!" came a shriek to match Sethera's that drew nearly everyone's gaze. Tyra threw her head back and shrieked with pleasure but also mixed with fear. Her massive blue tits bounced about with her thrashing movements, sweat droplets flying off her wet sweaty body. The gargoyle was on the ground with her back arching off of it with the source of her distress between her legs. There Teala lay with four of her fingers thrusting in and out of Tyra's sopping wet blue cunt. The Amazon had her thumb tucked in as she began to press firmly against the tight entrance of the gargoyle's pussy. "No. NO! NOOOOAAAAHHHH!!!" The gargoyle howled as her eyes bolted wide open as Teala's whole hand fully entered her wet tunnel. Tyra started screaming nonstop as the auburn Amazon beauty began to fist her blue cunt with rapid thrusts. This caused the red-haired guardian's tail to surge further up Teala's own sopping twat with more force. Both women were soon screaming with each other as both their holes were stretched to the limit and forcibly fucked by hand and tail. It almost seemed like a race to Blaze to see who would cum fist. Tyra grinding her hips in short circles against Teala's fist or Teala humping her hips up and down in riding that thick tail of Tyra's. He soon got the answer as both of them tensed and screamed in unison, wet bodies shivering in simultaneous climax before they collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion. Silence seemed to follow but only shortly after that loud commotion as a soft mew could be heard by everyone. Nadine mewed softly against as her large furry tits swayed on her chest gently, her own hand reaching up to pinch her bright red nipple as her golden gazed into the eyes of her comrade. Farlee looked back with pleasure and lust. Both women had their legs twined together with their mounds wet with their excitement pressed together. Blaze nearly did have a jungle storm in the form of a nosebleed at the erotic sight of the two females. They both worked together in rubbing their pussies and clits together to further their own pleasure. Their eyes would roll up and heads whip around their long beautiful hair as they cried out in pure bliss. At times they sat up to embrace each other, lips crushing together in a ravenous kiss. Other times they would smile as they twisted side to side to rub full breasts against each other, hard buds poking outwards. Soon they were at a feverous pitch as they humped their cunts together more frantically so much so that their hips rose off the ground. Both gorgeous females panted heavily as their raised hips rolled back and forth lewdly with their frantic pussy humping. Farlee threw back her head and screamed in orgasm, releasing her hot juices against Nadine. This made the lycan climax in her own loud meow that was low and sexy, mingling her pussy juices with Farlee's. Muffled grunts mixed with that meow. Blaze's dazed gaze looked over to Death's Mistress to see the beautiful dark elf on top of the Amazon with her head in Ryshe's groin. The drowess was in her element of lesbian encounters her race enjoyed so much and was enthusiastically delving her tongue deeply into the white-haired Amazon's depths. Ryshe in turn did the same for Rae, whose dark twat hovered over her head. Who could resist such a beautiful sight? This Amazon did not as she desperately lapped at the drow's wet folds with her tongue, relishing the taste of the subterranean exoticness with her moans. Her pale hands fiercely gripped the shapely round ass of Rae in a tight hold that belied how close she was to her peak of pleasure. It became clear, though, that the drowess had been much closer. A muffled hiss could be heard as her hot juices splashed out of her pussy with force as her dark nubile body quivered in climax. Ryshe blinked as her face was instantly soaked, not having expecting so much sweet honey to come out and fill her mouth. The hotness of such wetness splashing made her hips start shaking in quivering as she went over the edge. The Amazon swallowed rapidly as her own body thrashed about in cumming bliss to such a dirty, exotic experience with her drow lover. Blaze's heart wanted to sink at this. It seemed like the others were really enjoying the experience. So much so that it wanted to make him doubt that he would survive their test. But he refused to doubt them and continued to have faith in his friends. He kept that faith in his eyes so that they saw it every time they looked to him during their experience. And they did often look to him. His eyes turned to the exotic dancer who had changed his life to see her lying down with her legs wide open. Supple vanilla tiers smiled an enrapturing sensual smile up to Sethera in a "Please... fuck my brains out with that big cock" look. Sethera shivered with lust, as did the hands of the Amazon Queen who held him. Sethera didn't waste an instant as she positioned that thick cock gifted from her goddess at the entrance of the succubus that every single other Amazon present desired. The blonde Amazon groaned as her cock slid into the succubus with a loud wet pop. Kendra cooed with pleasure encouraging the Amazon for more of that thick cock in her tight cunt. Blaze blinked as he watched Kendra acting extremely slutty and unlike herself. It reminded him of when she talked about her experiences in that Shoushan show in which she acted out pleasure on the stage. Perhaps this was her only way of not thinking about Blaze by losing herself to the act so not to worry about him. Sethera moaned loudly as she thrust herself deeper into the willing demoness. Kendra's muscles must be working their magic in milking that cock like crazy for its cum. Sweat trickled down the Amazon's heaving tits as she slammed more thick cockmeat into that tanned hole. Kendra bit her lip sexily as she closed her eyes and raised her hips up against the thrusts of her Amazon. With a cry of love and lust, Sethera was lost to the pleasure as she began to slam her cock in and out of that wonderful pussy like a virgin youth into an experienced lover. "Yes, that's it," the beautiful Kendra moaned sensually, "Fuck me! Give me that big thick cock! Pound my fucking brains out! Make me cum hard!" The blonde Amazon was only more than happy to comply as she began to use every powerful muscle in her toned body to thrust that mighty cock in and out of the pussy of the sultry succubus. The wet slapping sounds of their sex filled the silent air as everyone else watched in rapture as the two women fucked each other with passionate groans and short screams. Blaze watched with amazement as Sethera's shapely ass move up and down with the strong powerful thrusts and Kendra moaning as she raised her hips up to meet those thrusts, her large breasts moving up and down her chest and pale nipples reaching for the sky in her bliss. "Oh by the Abyss YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!" Kendra cried out as her own hands seized her sweaty tits and squeezed them tight. She closed her eyes and gave one long sultry moan as her body tensed with the roaring pleasure of climax burning through her body. Her hot wet tunnel going into spasms was too much for Sethera as she cried out Kendra's name while thick spurts of cum erupted into Kendra. Both women gripped each other tight as they soared from one climax to another until Sethera collapsed on top of the succubus. Sethera was nearly crying in hysterical bliss as she moved up to passionately kiss Kendra on the lips. Taken aback at first, the winged demon soon returned the kiss in earnest. A silent pall hung over the clearing after the last of the pairings had finished. Blaze nearly jumped out of his skin when the crowd soon broke out into a loud applause as they clapped and whistled their approval of what they just witnessed. Alestra gripped him tightly, tense as he was because they both knew now that they were at the moment of truth. "All of you get up," Alestra barked after the crowd had quieted down enough. Blaze swallowed deeply as all four naked beauties got up to their feet shakily. Naked breasts heaved with the labored breathing as a result of an out-of-this-world experience. They looked like they had been to the clouds, moon and finally back down to earth. His heart sank in his chest. Could it really be that only a woman knew how to please a woman? He shook that thought from his head roughly. No! He had faith in his friends! "Answer me this, now that you have that experience fresh in your minds," Alestra said coldly. He felt the cold metal of her knife against his skin as she slowly drew it out behind him. "Who was better? This man's past romping with you or the expert touch of your recent Amazonian lovers?" The Queen's eyes focused on Tyra first, who was the first to speak for Blaze. Her soft blue skin was covered in a fine sheen of sweat as her large blue tits bounced and swayed with her heavy breathing. She took one more last breath to compose herself as she brushed her flaming red hair from her eyes before smiling. "Truth be told," she said grudgingly with a shake of her head, "it was incredible. But it was nowhere near what Blaze does for me. He knows exactly how much power to use to drive my body wild with pleasure. No one else, not even another gargoyle has ever come close to him." Gasps of disbelief from the crowd filled the air now as the beautiful guardian chose Blaze still. He felt Alestra stiffen behind him in her own dismay, clearly having been eager to kill him swiftly. Such knowledge made him grin with satisfaction that she was to be disappointed now. He felt her shift as she looked to the lycan woman next to Tyra. Nadine shivered uncontrollably as her body was slowly coming down from its blissful state. She chirped sharp little mews with every little micro-orgasm that shot through her body and kept her sweet juices flowing. Her golden eyes focused on Blaze before looking to Alestra. Blazing Glory Ch. 10 "It was wonderful," she admitted like Tyra. "But it lacked something more. It lacked his kindness. His sweet touch and caress. Blaze is like a best friend in bed and in truth that is what he is. He is the best by far! He's made love to me before with so much focus on me that he never came once himself, though I did many times." "Of course that changed when I got my mouth around him," the furry beauty finished with an innocent smile that belied itself. Alestra's grip tightened angrily on him as she looked to the obsidian skinned vixen standing cool and collected where she was. Her glowing red eyes had been looking at her Amazonian lover with thought throughout this time before looking back to Blaze. A brief flare of panic filled him. The drow despised men like these jungle women did. In fact, the dark elves were known to pair in lesbian experiences much more often than with men. But Rae wasn't like the rest, he reminded himself. Harsh, cold, and antagonistic that she may be... She was still a dear friend. "Blaze is the victor with me as he can give it to me rough and hard like no other can. So rough in fact that I wonder if I'll be able to even walk the next day. My Patron viths me like none before ever have and I love it!" she hissed in a dark pleasing hum. Death's Mistress gave him a genuine loving smile. His hopes were raised now that three of them had vouched for him. He now looked to Kendra along with Alestra to see the succubus looking at him with those beautiful eyes that always drove him wild with both lust and love at the same time. Rivulets of sweat ran down her perfect body in alluring trickles. He felt Alestra behind him shiver slightly at the erotic sight. No doubt everyone within sight desired Kendra's touch and body. Sethera looked to the demoness with a smitten look herself. So profound was the sensual aura of the succubus before them all that none could have resisted her had they wished. "I choose him," she stated simply with a curving smile of her soft pale lips. "For out of the thousands of men I have killed through sex, he is the only one in hundreds of years that I have let live." That statement of fact seemed to absolutely stun all the jungle warriors present. Even Alestra's knife fell to the ground out of her limp unfeeling hand. It wasn't just that four women had chosen a male after their sexual escapade with their best warriors. Moreover, it was Kendra. If a succubus, who had indeed killed thousands of men through sex by her proud claim, chose to keep this one around for her personal pleasure, it spoke untold volumes. And such evidence blew away their beliefs that such a man was not possible. Blaze himself noticed quite a few appraising looks from the buxom beauties of the village on the idea of giving him a try to see if such were true. Dear Stavros! He didn't know if he could handle having sex with the demanding of a whole village! He would be fucked to death! Literally! A good way to go most certainly... But he didn't want to go to begin with! As the young warrior swayed side to side on his feet at the dizzying thought, Alestra stepped back from him as she released his arm. The sensation of the tight grip leaving brought him back to his senses. He looked over his back swiftly, half expecting to see her driving the dagger home into his back in a fury. Instead, he saw her back to him as she strode away. "Sethera, see to their accommodations for staying however long they wish to," the green-haired Queen spoke as she moved to her hut. "And Blaze is not to be harmed by anyone or suffer Hippolyta's wrath." With that, the Queen slipped under the veil and back into her large hut. An uncomfortable silence followed as every single person present looked after Alestra in surprise at these turn of events. It wasn't until Sethera rose and cleared her throat that everyone came about. The crowd slowly dispersed in disturbed murmurs about what they had seen and heard this day. Sethera stepped up before Blaze with her eyes slightly downcast. "My apologies. I treated you like I would any other man, but I was wrong in doing so." "It's ok, really. You have just been exposed to too many negative examples and ideals that lead you in such a belief," he shrugged and smiled. "It can happen to any of us. Thank you, though." "You're a man but not typical like the others," she smiled a little in return, though hesitant due to old feelings. Her eyes looked into his before the smile grew a little warmer. "Perhaps there is hope for men yet if there are more like you out there." Sethera and the others Amazons let them gather their clothes up before taking them out of the village by a different route than the one they had come in. They were about to ask where they were being taken, especially the ladies who wanted to at least put their clothes before continuing any further. That was until they heard the sound of rushing water. "This way," Sethera grinned as she parted some branches sprouting massive green leaves. Blaze's breath left him as he looked at one of the more beautiful sights he had seen so far on the journey. A waterfall cascaded over a large outcropping into a large pool before trailing off in a steady stream further into the jungle. Beautiful flowers ringed the perimeter shoreline as they fed off the clean water. The large trees around parted in their canopy at points to let brilliant rays of sunshine through to illuminate a scene of heaven on earth. All four of his female friends gave a whoop of joy as they now saw why they had been brought here. Dropping their things, all of them swiftly ran and dove into the waters to wash off the sweat and cum. The Amazon warriors were soon to follow after dropping what little they wore. Laughter and sighs of relief filled the air as the ladies washed, swam, and splashed about. Dear Stavros! The young warrior could only stand and gape. Nude female bodies! Wet, smooth skins shining in the sunlight as rivulets of water trickled down and about bouncing breasts. Wet strands of hair clinging to succulent curves. He just couldn't withstand it anymore! It was every man's wet dream come true! "Blaze! Come on in!" Kendra called and laughed after splashing Nadine back. When she heard nothing, she glanced over to see him standing there not moving. "Blaze?" A red waterfall in its own spouted from his nose before Blaze fell forward, face planting into the wet sand! SPLAT!!! ******************** Blaze eventually came around and was able to join in with the others, who didn't mind including the Amazons. It felt good to wash all of the sticky sweat from his skin after all that time in the jungle moist heat. Soon after, he and the ladies were taken to an empty hut reserved for guests of other Amazon tribes and fed unique fruits of the jungle. Although Blaze turned down some of the other foods, including some that looked like horrific roasted insects. Naturally Nadine more than happily chowed down on these in front of him, making the poor warrior go green in the face swiftly! "Tonight there will be a great feast and celebration in the demise of our mortal enemy, whom we have you to thank for," Sethera said as she rose to leave them for the day. "You are, of course, the guests of honor and will sit with the Queen. Please be ready by dusk." They all waited in nervous anticipation of what it was going to be like participating in a celebration by jungle warriors of legend. Nadine was bubbling over in excitement as she talked with an equally optimistic Tyra about it. Rae reclined over to the side with a pleased smirk on her dark lips as she idled her own private thoughts. He and Kendra sat together of course, the succubus resting her head on his shoulder and sleeping soundly from the exhaustion of the events happening in the last two days. Dusk arrived before long and they all exited their hut to walk towards the center of the village. There was excitement in the air as the adults busily finished up preparing the foods, decorations, and themselves for the coming festivities. Groups of girls ran about playing in squealing excitement about all that was happening. They, including Blaze, were greeted warmly and with smiles now. They had been accepted and it seemed no more than coming to any other village in the world filled with kind, good people. When they reached the center of the village, it was already dark and an immense bonfire was already roaring in a cleared area. Wild pigs and jungle birds roasted on spits while platters of baked insects and fresh fruit in massive plates lying upon streets of cloth. In the center of the gather area, a large platform had been constructed and lit by the ring of tall torches surrounding it. Alestra's eyes looked up to them from where she sat as they approached. The Queen of the Amazons nodded cordially and silently bid them to sit with her with a wave of her hand. Sethera joined them as well as they all sat down and ate. No sooner had they done so did Alestra press Blaze for the details of why they were there and to elaborate on everything. She wanted no stone left unturned in this tale. While they spoke and ate with the others joining in occasionally to add to the tale, the crowd sang songs to the drum beats or watched actors tell the tale of heroic warriors going off to fight the dreaded Srythe. They never returned or came back barely alive, the beast always remained. It was a night of not only celebration but remembrance and honoring those brave souls. "And a wave came up during the storm and wrecked us upon the shores of the jungle," Blaze finished the tale to that point. Alestra nodded with a frown, her cool demeanor having warmed with understanding and getting to know all of them better. Clearly not one to trust easily, she had finally come to accept them as with the rest of her people. "So I see," she hummed softly to herself as she brushed some green locks away from those intense eyes. "This Koas could bring not only your people grief, but trouble to the Amazon nation as well. Hippolyta will not be pleased with her sister goddess causing her own children to suffer. Our goddess is fiery in spirit and I would hate to see the destruction wreaked upon the world should she be infuriated beyond control." Blaze nodded, understanding that this could be yet another reason Stavros wanted him and his friends to end this senseless conflict. Alestra's eyes turned to Kendra and noted that the gorgeous succubus was no longer paying attention. She followed the demoness's gaze to the stage where two Amazon women danced sensually to the drumbeats and bamboo flutes. "Like what you see, Kendra?" She asked, smiling as Kendra blushed slightly. "That is known as the dance of seduction simply put in Common tongue. Two lovers seducing each other for one night of intimate bliss before the danger of battle the coming day." "Dance of seduction?" Nadine perked and mewed happily. "You dance like that too Kendra, don't you?" "You know of our dance in a way?" a surprised Alestra asked right after. "Can you show us your dance of seduction, Kendra?" Kendra's beautiful green eyes blinked wide as she blushed a little further. Blaze realized then why she seemed so embarrassed. Her dancing was her talent that she was proud of. But never had she danced before her friends. Her last dance had been before she and him had encountered Nadine. She must be feeling uncertain as to how they will like it, if they will at all. Kendra? Shy? The world must be coming to an end after all... "Please," Sethera asked, nearly begging with those infatuated eyes. "All of us would love to see a dance of seduction from another land." Giving Kendra a slight encouraging nudge with his shoulder, he smiled to her. She looked to him before nodding with a smile in return. The demoness swiftly rose to her feet and beckoned Sethera to follow. The Amazonian warrior was only too eager. Their gazes followed after the sensual sway of her shapely hips as she strut over to the musicians and gave them a few words before disappearing from view. Time passed by as they conversed further about the significant issues concerning the war at hand. Alestra was notably concerned about it spilling over into the wilds of the jungles she controlled. Blaze was sure that Koas would do so eventually. From the impression he had received from Stavros, he knew that the goddess intended for the whole world to be affected. Not one person or location would be unaffected. It was shortly after Blaze and his friends had just finished discussing possible defenses and strategies with Alestra that Sethera came back breathless and sat down right next to him. They all blinked at her as Kendra was nowhere to be seen and the music had stopped. Seeing their inquiring glances, Sethera smiled brightly. "She's ready!" she answered. "What took so long, my child?" Alestra asked with a raised brow. "Well we had some trouble finding an outfit she deemed 'skimpy' enough as she termed it," Sethera sighed before looking back to the stage as the musicians began picking up their instruments. "And then there was the issue of finding the snake." Blaze, who at that time was taking a drink from his cup, sprayed it outwards as he spluttered in shock. "SNAKE!?" Right then the music started. Its drum started out low and lengthy in between beats. Eerily came in the flute with its tunes filling the air. The crowd silenced as they heard this ominous and chilling music before their gasps rose. Blaze nearly fainted when he saw the reason. The exotic dancer was now in her human form with wings hidden. She wore hardly anything at all but for the loin cloth that was extremely short about her sexy waist and the top that barely contained her generous breasts due to it only having one shoulder strap. With her long vanilla tresses fanned out behind her perfect body, the succubus looked like the epitome of a wild woman of the jungle any man would desire to take sexually. But the other article she wore is what made their breath freeze in their lungs. Coiled about her shoulders and luscious body was a massive python! The snake was incredibly thick and long. Blaze was sure that had it been around him, the sheer weight of the creature would have made him grimace and his knees bend with the strain. But the sheer sensual muscularity of the demoness' beautiful body was more than powerful enough to handle it. In fact when she saw all of their startled gazes her soft white colored lips curved into a wickedly sexy smirk. Closing her eyes, Kendra listened to the beat that the band was playing. Slowly her head began to bounce up and down, getting in time with the rhythm. Once she seemed completely in sync with it, her green eyes snapped open. With her whole audience captivated, the succubus began her dance upon the first soft crack of the additional bamboo sticks together. Blaze could tell this dance would be different from her others. The music was captivating in an eerie way that was best suited for an evil, tribal dance of seduction one could imagine from heathen cultures. The beauty's hips began to sway about slowly as her body swayed side to side in undulated fashion much like a snake. Her hands and arms slowly raised and continued the motion of the sway. Her entire body was in sync with one continuous snakelike sway. The green python seemed to enjoy this as it slowly slithered about her curvaceous form, sensing that it was touching sheer perfection of the flesh. The scales rubbed against the clothed curves of those mountainous breasts that stood out so firmly and elicited soft moans from the dancer at the sensitive flesh being tantalized. Soon hard budding nipples pressed against the fabric for all to see Kendra's growing arousal as her hands dropped down to run through her wild mane of hair. Taking a quick glance about him, Blaze noticed his friends were absolutely transfixed with everyone else on the dancer with wide eyes. Sethera's breathing had gotten heavier and her own nipples visible through her top. He glanced back when he heard a sensual gasp of delight from Kendra. With its keen sense of smell, the python and slithered down that body and tilted its head under her skimpy skirt. Its tongue flicked out to where none could see but no doubt knew were wet lips of her excited pussy. With a soft pleased hissed, Kendra's hands slid down to squeeze her almond brown tits as her hips ground back and forth to that snake's big head erotically. Another clear hiss escaped her sweet lips and it seemed that the snake understood her and slowly slid off her body until it was of and coiled in a corner, apparently now an audience member not wanting to miss this show either. The demoness spun about now as she was freed of the animal without worry. She strut over sensually to the edge with every step matching the beat and groped her firm breasts before the amazons below. Spinning around once again, she stopped with her back to them and slowly bent over as she trailed her hands down the long expanse of soft flesh of one of her legs. Every eye soon locked on that skirt lifting high enough to give viewing of her smooth beautiful wet mound before their eyes would meet hers with surprise as she looked to them all from between her legs. Rising swiftly with another spin, she whipped off the cloth into one of her hands and stood with legs spread before the honored guests. The cloth in her hand now covered her sweet cunt as she used her hand to rub her sensitive flesh, moaning as she masturbated before them. Her other hand gripped a nipple hard through the cloth of her top as her eyes looked into each of theirs invitingly. Blaze smiled and then blinked as he felt a weight press into him. Glancing to his side, Sethera was leaning against him panting heavily as her hands worked frantically at her crotch insider her leggings and the other pushing her top up to reveal those large Amazon tits. The young warrior nearly jumped out of his skin when the female warrior grabbed his hand firm and thrust it into those depths. Instantly he felt the abundant juices of her highly aroused pussy. "Please," she whispered to him with need, "touch and use me with your hands. I want to feel another one's hands and imagine they are hers as I watch without self-distraction." Blaze swallowed and nodded, thinking she wouldn't take no for an answer. His fingers easily found her excited clit and began to gently roll it about with his fingers. His other free hand reached around to slid beneath her top and grope her huge firm tit. Sethera moaned into his ear as they both looked to the exotic dancer. Kendra winked to them as she tossed her cunt juice soaked cloth away. Striding over to Alestra, Kendra hummed softly before the Queen of the Amazons as she tantalizingly offered her exposed twat to the green haired beauty with circular hip sways while her hands gripped her tits firmly. With a smirk, her hands gripped the top, whipping it up and off over her head. The crowd gasped at the sight once more of those beautiful brown tits capped perfectly by hard pale nipples. The large orbs bounced about slightly before bobbing up and down gently on her torso as she strut away towards to crowd with perfect timing and confidence. She once more reached the snake that raised its head, sensing her presence. Upon reaching it, her whole body went into an unbelievable sensual sway that Blaze never thought possible by the human form. She had become like a snake herself as her arms sway about like floating on air while her body and hips twisted in varying directions in sheer natural beauty. Everyone was entranced now, including the snake that rose off the ground and swayed back and forth with the swaying, spinning dancer before it. Sethera's breathing was growing shorter in-between as he slid a few fingers into her cunt. Her pussy eagerly accepted and squeezed them to her moans of pleasure. Her top was pushed up now to where her tits were fully revealed and being groped by him. She moaned her approval and even darted her tongue into his ear encouragingly. Her eyes never once left Kendra. Then Sethera stiffened with a soft scream before his fingers felt her juices flooding about them.

Chapter 11 – Truth and Honor Harsh blazing rays of the sun beat down upon the desolate landscape. It was a dead land that the sun looked over as it journeyed its daily trek across the sky. Some areas of land it saw were flat and barren. The dirt baked so dry that it was literally riddled with cracks everywhere and dust gently stirred by an occasional blistering breeze. Other places held vast mounds of sand as far as the eye could see. In such a vast wasteland, it was hard to find any form of life. Those that did were pretty small in size but very deadly in nature. Odd plants with spiky thorns all about them were occasionally grouped in clusters scattered sparsely about. It was a dead man's land... On this particular day, the sun would have been surprised to see life moving down beneath it as it moved towards its setting for the evening. A group of five moved across the crest of one of the giant sand dunes in a never ceasing direction to the north. They moved with a purpose that would not allow them to lose their heading in a heat-induced delirium and get them lost. One of them stopped to wipe as his brow as he looked back up in return to the sun. Blaze sighed as the sweat kept on coming. He sighed as he wished he could stop sweating so he wouldn't get dehydrated, but knew also that he needed it to keep his body cool to begin with. They had been moving across this waste for what seemed almost a week now. It reminded him of the dunes area near his home. But the sound of the sea had always been near whereas here it was the sound of sand whispering by on a hot breeze. A sea of sand that threatened to swallow them whole. Never in his life had he imagined a place that could be so bloody hot! It was worse than the grasslands that they had left behind. He looked back to his comrades that trudged onwards behind him, tired but determined to make it through alive. They were all suffering though. They had to ration their water strictly so that it didn't disappear too quickly. It would have by now if it hadn't been for stumbling across what Kendra called an oasis. The demoness' knowledge was saving their lives as she used experiences in the deserts of other lands to help them survive. She helped them retrieve water from these odd cacti plants. Other times she saved their necks by killing a snake whose tail rattled beside Nadine or the time her whip yanked him out after stumbling into quicksand. But still they suffered greatly. Tyra tried to fan herself with her wings or use them as a shield to the sun, but not with much success. Rae hid as deeply within the darkness of her piwafwi as she could. He was surprised by the look he saw in her cloaked confines when he looked back to her. Her glowing red eyes glanced about nervously within that darkness. The drowess was actually afraid of this land. Dead waste with the harsh brilliant sun beating down from above, Blaze supposed that it must be the equivalent to hell for a drow. Nadine suffered even more so than she did in the grasslands because of her dark fur. They had to sacrifice their water for themselves and give more rations to the catwoman. She would have perished long ago had they not. Her tail hung limply behind her and ears wilted in misery as she walked with them. Even Kendra was exhausted. The succubus refused to have any sexual encounters with any of them. She felt such strenuous activity would only drain them of their much needed energy to get through this. But that meant she went longer without any sustenance. Kendra claimed she could go on for a while before being in danger, but Blaze could tell by the look in her eyes that she was feeling the beginning pangs of 'hunger' as the rest of them thirsted. They traveled only in the mornings and late evenings. They sheltered as best they could together from the midday heat and stayed close in the freezing chill of night. Blaze simply couldn't believe that a place this hot could also become so cold! As he trudged on, he remembered back to the first couple of days that they traveled. "Blaze?" Nadine had chirped in surprise when they woke up for the morning trip to continue on. "Why are you so red?" The young man just groaned as he lay there in pain from the severe burns along his exposed skin. The poor human was spread eagle on the sand and looked like he was ready to just die. The others glanced down and peered down at him like he was some sort of oddity. "By the Abyss," Kendra grumbled in exasperation, "He's been badly sun burnt." "So that's what that is?" Nadine inquired as she poked him, drawing a startled yelp of pain from the poor guy. "I've heard about humans getting these but have never seen it." "And naturally none of us thought of such," Tyra sighed, shaking her head as she ran a hand through her mane of fiery red hair. "Nadine, you have your fur as Rae her cloak. Kendra's a demoness that clearly wouldn't be affected while we gargoyles are naturally resistant to sunlight in order to perform our guarding." Rae sighed as she moved in closer, "Come on Blaze get up so I can help you." Blaze blinked and snorted slightly, giving a groan of defiance to the drowess that he was staying put and not moving an inch. Rae was about to hiss something angrily when Nadine dropped down to crouch next to Blaze. "YEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!" Sand exploded and made them all cover their faces instantly. When it settled just as quickly they looked to see Blaze no longer there. Glancing about they didn't see him until they heard his yell. They all gasped as he came crashing back down from high above, face planting right into the sand! Nadine blinked as she looked to his legs sticking up out of the crater formed in the sand before giggling, "Nothing like a little pinch to get you up my mom always said!" Blaze rolled his eyes as he remembered that incident and was thankful Rae had been able to heal his burns. She even produced a salve that she always kept on her but rarely used these days due to her getting used to sunlight. It was a drow's protection against the sun for those on surface missions not used to it. What could work for the drow should work even better for a human. The smell was awful, but Blaze was more than happy to apply this 'sun block' cream of hers every start of the day. But that wasn't the worst of it. The most heart-sinking feeling throughout this endeavor came with the final realization of it two days later. It was in the darkness of night as they all lay down for a much needed rest. The air was chilly, but he was not bothered by it because of the soft warmth of the succubus cuddling up so possessively next to him. He stared up at the stars filling the whole sky and the Great Path expanding across in its milky essence as the road for souls into the afterlife. He thought about when he had nearly died that time that seemed so long ago, only to be saved by the beautiful Callista. His eyes blinked as it hit him in that moment. Dear Spirits... "Two down," he whispered, "two to go..." "What?" The young man nearly jumped out of his skin at the unexpected voice. Turning his head to the side, he stared into those beautiful green depths. He couldn't help but sigh and smile. Kendra was always so aware of him. Clearly she wouldn't sleep until he was fast asleep and she always knew when he was troubled. All this time she had been quietly observing him while he was lost in thought. "The prophecy..." He answered her truthfully. "Oh..." Her eyes hardened as her grip on him tightened protectively. "That." He nodded as he looked back up to the stars. "It just now occurred to me that we are within the timeline of Callista's prophecy and have already unknowingly blundered through some of it." The succubus nearly hissed in anger as she stiffened, not liking him being in danger to mystical forces such as prophecy. "How? Are you sure?" "I am," Blaze sighed, remembering those haunting words of the sorceress elf, "An ordeal of those close by his side, in them his faith essentially reside. Though weary and worn his body from strife, fierce heart never waiver to keep his life." After the silence hung over them for a moment as she pondered his words and their meaning, he shifted as he looked once more to her. "Callista said if I failed even one of the tests, I would have died. The first was the Amazons. 'An ordeal of those close by his side, in them his faith essentially reside'. You all went through the ordeal of being forced to decide between myself and the feminine touch. What if I had shown lack of faith to all of you? Giving in to despair that there was no way all of you would choose me after such pleasure. Such an action could easily have hurt one of you so deeply that you may have turned your back on me, thus resulting in my death." Kendra looked about ready to argue that she never would do such a thing, but she already saw that in his eyes that he knew she wouldn't. But she then thought about the others. She was not them and did not know how they would react in their own right in such circumstances. "The second was my battle with the dancing warrior. 'Though weary and worn his body from strife, fierce heart never waiver to keep his life'," he continued. "My body was broken and beat like hell so much so that I began to lose heart that I could actually win. But I refused to give in and let all of you be killed. I didn't want to fail you. I didn't want to lose any of you. Such actions preserved my life in keeping my will to fight on or else I would have been finished." Kendra swallowed back a lump of fear in her throat as his words were true. There could be no mistaking that they were within the time of Callista's prophecy. It is a time in which Richard was the only one in control of his destiny and life when the events unfolded. And there was nothing she could do to change that or help. "To him the serpent will hiss many a lie, in its servant's truth he must espy. Though the path to be taken will be clear, will he choose with the honor he holds so dear," she whispered the rest, remembering the words herself clearly. "Tests yet to come," he nodded. The sensual beauty said nothing else but held on to him tighter the rest of the night. It had been nearly two weeks since they first entered this desert. Try to survive and ration as they might, their supplies were growing shorter by the day. On the fourteenth day of their trek, they finally came upon it. A vast oasis opened down below them from where they stood on the high dune. The oasis was so vast that it could literally have been called a large lake. Lush green palms and grass surrounded its perimeter for miles. Occupying much of their view along its southern shore was a large town bustling with activity among its stone buildings and tents. All five of them shared looks of apprehension, but joy overshadowed any cautious feelings as they rushed down to finally reach a place of sanctuary from the brutal landscape around. ******************** His stomach growled with the sharp pangs of hunger. His arms folded over his stomach as he crunched down in pain, trying to fight it off. Not now, Hakim berated himself mentally. His eyes were already on the prize. He was so close to ending these pangs now. Glancing to his side, Hakim saw a mirror in which a young, famished boy stared back at him. He was nothing special. He looked a lot like the other kids at his age of seven years. His skin was browned like the rest of the people inhabiting the town. His scraggly black hair hung limply in the heat about his boyish face. His clothes were nothing elaborate. They were simply the loose baggy clothing of his people. Hakim stared hungrily from the shadows of the alley with his dark eyes at the loaf of bread sitting on top of many others. The loaves rested just to the left of the merchant seller barking out his prices to the shopping citizens in the bazaar. As hungry as he knew he was, Hakim knew he could count on his speed once again to come through for him to snatch and escape. You'd be surprised at what you could do when facing starvation. The young boy snapped out of his thoughts when he saw the local merchant, whom he knew was Basit, began talking to an interested shopper. Basit lovingly raised some delicious looking fruits for the customer to see as he informed them of the price. Seizing the opportunity too good to pass up, the young boy darted out from the dirty narrow alley into the bustling throng of people in the street. Hakim ducked and weaved in and out between numerous people like an agile viper through tall reeds. Breath escaped him for a brief moment in relief as he reached the food stand and saw Basit still occupied with his customer. He reached to snatch for the bread as he turned at the same moment to dash for safety! "AH HA!" a voice roared as his wrist was seized in a painfully powerful grip. Hakim yelped in shock and fear as the massive man Basit literally lifted him off the ground. The sweaty brute lifted the child up to his face by his wrist so that he had no choice but to meet the man's furious eyes. "Not this time you little rat!" he voice bellowed, spittle spraying Hakim's face. Many passers-by soon came to a stop as they looked to see what the shouting was about. "You've stolen from me one too many times. Now you will pay for your crimes thief!" "No! Please!" the frightened boy cried as he squirmed about in midair futilely, "I'm just so hungry!" "I don't care! Now you will receive your just punishment," Basit spat into his face as he cleared aside fruit before slamming the boy's arm onto the hard wood. Hakim's eyes grew wide in horror as Basit unsheathed his curved scimitar from his belt. "Visralar speaks in holy words that the unjust thief whom takes with his free hand shall then be freed of it from body forever!" "NO! NOO!" Hakim shrieked, fear filling his entire being as the man cried out holy verses from the canaan of their god to the crowd, but words twisted in evil fanaticism. The boy sobbed as he tried to pull away with everything he had left in him, but Basit was just too powerful! "Please don't cut off my arm... please.. oh please..." He cried endlessly, hoping that someone would see reason and stop this. That mercy be granted. But Basit only continued to recite holy verses twisted with vile words of hate. No onlookers made any move to help. Either they cheered Basit on with their own fanatical beliefs agreeing with this or they simply watched on, not liking what they were witnessing but fearful of what would happen if they interceded. Hakim screamed at the top of his lungs as Basit raised the weapon to maim the starving boy for life. As the scimitar descended to chop like a savage meat cleaver among the gasps of the watching crowd, the boy closed his eyes and waited for the agonizing pain to burn from his arm to his whole being. Tensed, it seemed like an eternity of waiting for him in his terror. After a few moments, Hakim blinked as he realized that the eternity of waiting was time passing by as normal. No pain filled him. The boy tested to be sure and felt his fingers wiggling about true enough. Opening his eyes in confusion, he looked down to his hand and could only stare at what he saw. In the little space between his arm and the scimitar was one lone blade. This unusual straight blade hovered above his arm with the blade of the scimitar resting against its other flat slide. "Tell me," a cold man's voice trembling with barely restrained fury spoke in the shocked silence that had overtaken the bazaar, "What is so 'holy' about crippling a young boy not yet seen a decade in this world?" Getting over his own shock at what happened with those words, Basit turned his gaze up towards the voice's source hatefully. "Who the hell are you? You have no right to interrupt the divine justice of Visralar!" Hakim looked up to see the man staring defiantly back at Basit. The look in the man's eyes gave Hakim chills. Behind the mysterious man who had saved his arm, for the moment, were four women of beauty beyond what Hakim thought possible. They were all different from each other and obviously foreign. The crowd also gazed at this group with both awe and fear. "My name is Blaze," the man growled angrily, "There is nothing divine about such justice. That is the justice of the damned and wicked. I don't know who this Visralar god is, but I'd put more weight in the justice and divinity of Stavros than in Visralar after what you've just demonstrated." "INFIDEL!" Basit exploded as his face turned red with rage. "You speak such blasphemies about the almighty Visralar! DIE!!!!" The enraged merchant shoved Blaze's sword away before coming up and to the side with it with such swiftness that Hakim couldn't help but watch in horror as his savior would surely be beheaded. In a movement that made both him and the crowd gape in shock, Blaze moved with even greater speed as he swiftly ducked the curved blade. His hand gripped a second sword upon his back. The harsh hiss of the blade being drawn upwards out of its sheath was soon followed by the harsh clang as it caught Basit's scimitar from below. The curved blade went spinning out of the brute's hand to sink it's blade into the post next to Hakim with a resounding thunk, making the poor boy yelp in shock. The on looking crowd gasped as Blaze was instantly over the wooden barrier and had Basit up against the wall with one hand at his throat and the blade's tip pressed against his neck's flesh. "Give me one excuse to split your head from body," Blaze hissed venomously, "so that your skull may be used as a fucking piss pot and your body fed to the vultures... Go on!" Basit trembled slightly, his eyes now filled with fear. Remaining silent, the man shook his head slightly as he wanted no part in giving the maddened warrior a reason to follow through with that threat. "Good," Blaze growled. "But if I so much as hear that you went after this boy ever again, I swear I will be back to split open your fat belly and slowly pull out your insides while you still live!" The big burly merchant paled and looked nearly on the verge of fainting from fright, only barely able to nod that he understood. Looking thoroughly disgusted, the young man released the other's throat and hopped back out into the street. Or he would have but was met instantly in mid-air! WHAM! Hakim blinked as Blaze gasped in surprise as his cloaked companion tackled him and slammed him into the ground. "Rae.. Wha?" "Oh you vithing evil bastard! Such hideous threats and violent rage.... By the Abyss you know how to turn a drowess on! Take me here and now you wonderful son of a bitch!" "Oh Rae, c'mon!" the bat-winged female sighed in exasperation. "Oh be quiet, Kendra. I know you want him right now too! You can have your way with him after I'm done," The cloaked woman cackled. "That's our Rae!" the cat-looking woman giggled as the one called Kendra blushed and twittled her thumbs embarrassingly, having been caught correctly by Rae's statement. Blazing Glory Ch. 11 The big blue beauty sighed softly. "You're correct on that, Nadine. Rae come on. Now is not the time in front of all these people. Besides, do you really want to get naked in this sunlight?" The cloaked woman stopped in consideration before turning to her companion. "You've got a point, Tyra. There are some shadows in the alley over there. Let's go Patron!" Hakim could only blink at the sight as the warrior, who was a strong hero just a moment before, gagged and reached out into the air for help as he was helplessly dragged by his collar by the woman to one of those very places shrouded in darkness. Nadine and Tyra both sighed before grinning as they followed the trail of dust left in their wake through the dispersing crowd. The boy could only stare in wonder as to how this had all happened within a short time span before a felt soft hand rest upon his shoulder. When he looked up, his breath froze in his lungs as he stared at the most beautiful green eyes he had ever seen. ******************** Blaze coughed and wheezed as he clawed at the air while being helplessly dragged by the overpowering dark elf into the shadowy confines of the dark alley. Rae tossed him further into the alley to where he landed with a soft thud. Rubbing his ass and grumbling, Blaze sat up and glanced about as he regained his breath. They were in a dead end alley whose only outlet they had just come in. It had soft sand for the ground and numerous crates and large ceramic jars stored against the wall. At least it was cool here in the shade, he thought. "Blaze...." He nearly yelped at the dark voice that reminded him of his predicament. Glancing towards the entrance, he only saw the dark cloaked figure filling out the alley and blocking the light with an imposing figure. Glowing red eyes within the darkness of that cowl looked down upon him with an undeniable hunger that made him about ready to turn about and start scuttling away frantically. Death's Mistress was in the height of lust and hunger! "You will fulfill your duties to me now Patron, as you have excited me beyond measure. Now you must take care of me as a result of your actions," she hissed with an ominous tone. Judge, jury, and soon executioner! Those red eyes took delight in his nervous posture as her dominance of him would soon begin. The young warrior blinked as another shadow stepped up behind the drowess and those red eyes opened wide suddenly. "Stop toying and just fuck him already so we can hurry back to Kendra," Tyra laughed as she slapped the drowess on the back. Rae stumbled forward and righted herself barely in time lest she face plant into the sand! Regaining her breath and composure, the drowess shot a dark look over her shoulder. Tyra blinked and smiled in embarrassment with a shrug, "Sorry! I forget my strength sometimes!" Nadine poked her head around the larger blue beauty and her fur stood at end with the look from Rae. "Perhaps we'd better make sure she isn't interrupted," Nadine chirped softly as they backed off a little, "or someone's going to die...." Tyra swallowed and nodded before the both of them quickly set about moving crates to block off the entrance of the alley to prevent any onlookers. Huffing to herself with an exasperated sigh, her red eyes turned to the young man before her. Her finger pointed to a lone crate off to the side of him, "Sit! Now!" Blaze blinked and quickly moved over to sit on the crate. He hadn't seen the drowess so fiercely aroused like this since their first time together in the underworld. He watched as the Matron Mother removed her dark cloak to reveal the dark elf's curvaceous body that he hadn't seen in many weeks. Her form was as perfect as ever with firm obsidian breasts filling her white shirt, hard nipples capping those perfect mountains just right and poking out against the fabric. Her slender legs and round ass tightly hugged by her black leggings. The beautiful dark elf moved to stand in front of him, reaching out with her hands on either side of him. Her sharp nails moved down his sides, raking his sides almost cruelly. Wincing in pain from it, he gasped to her delight. Drows really loved giving pain as much as rough sex. Rae's hands seized his shirt and whipped it off over his head in one swift powerful motion. Tossing his shirt over with her cloak, she leaned forward to nibble at his ear. "Now that is a good Patron. I want you to be a good boy and vith the living Abyss out of my body, Xas?" she whispered huskily into his ear. Now who was he to argue with the drowess about that? Especially with the mood she was in now. His hands seized her waist firmly and pulled her abruptly into his lap. His hands grasped and kneaded roughly those perfect firm tits of the dark elf. Her fingers laced behind his neck as she tossed back her white mane of hair with a dark laugh, hips straddling his. Her red eyes glittered hungrily in the dim alley light when she looked to him again as his hands squeezed her tits and fingers toyed with her erect nipples poking against the fabric. Blaze was always amazed at how amazing the dark elf's breasts were. So big and firm to the touch, begging to be worshipped. His own lust growing with the hunger to see the smooth black skin of those mounds capped by hard purple nipples, he gripped the shirt tightly now and readied to tear it from her body. With another wicked laugh, the drowess pinched his side as she slid off his lap before he could. Rae smirked as she danced backwards out of his reach efore she lost her shirt to him and her mind to orgasm as he manhandled her breasts. She had aroused his sexual hunger with her body pressed up against his. Good. An idea had just occurred to her at that moment. She would reward him for the pleasure still coursing through her. Waving a taunting finger in front of him, she silently tsked him for trying to become too dominant. "Nau, my Patron," she whispered with a sexy purr, "not yet. Now just watch." Truth be told, she'd wanted to do this for some time after much discussion and practice in the night with Kendra over the past few weeks. Listening to the beat of a drum and chiming of a flute a group of merchant entertainers playing just outside the alley entrance, she gathered herself. Rae's generous hips began to sway to the music as her arms lifted above her head, causing her large breasts to draw taut the white shirt against them. She moaned softly as the beat filled her as Kendra said it would, feeling the pulse exciting her pussy as she danced for her Patron. Blaze could not help but watch in amazement as the drowess was actually dancing for him. Her hands moved down her body, fingertips caressing her throat down to her shoulders before grazing her upper breasts. He swallowed deeply as those digits trailed along the deepened "v" opening of her shirt to tug it open slightly before closing it, teasing him with peeks of those high rising obsidian mounds before she turned her back to him. He began to sweat as her beautifully toned ass swayed in front of him and her hands slid down to her waist, thumbs hooked into the waistband. Rae was moaning lowly now was her hip movements moved increasingly with the rising pleasure within her body. No wonder the succubus loved to dance so much! Rae whirled around, her brilliant white hair flowing out into a fan about her. Her hands had swiftly risen back to her breasts, cupping them outside the fabric of her shirt to him as her fingertips spread the opening in the middle further apart to where the areola's of her nipples were almost in view. Her full lips spread into a smile seeing the response from the growing bulge of his crotch. The young warrior nearly lost his load inside his pants as he saw her smile at him and run her tongue slowly across those lips with a lustful moan. Her hands trailed down to grasp the bottom of her shirt and pull it up, revealing the smooth black skin of her taut belly as her hips continued to sway about erotically. The drowess continued to tease him as she faked movements of taking the shirt fully off while letting his eyes catch glimpses of the underside of her full round breasts. With a smirk to him, she spun about on a drumbeat and finally did just that, The dark elf whipped off her shirt and her long hair cascaded down to cover her dark slender back. Rae was in utter exhilaration as she freed her breasts to bounce in the free cool air of the alley. The revolving of her hips picked up even more as she let the shirt drop to the ground. Hearing an excited groan behind her, she smiled as it confirmed how well she was doing in her performance. With a dark laugh, the drowess stopped swaying and spread her legs wide as she bent at the waist. Her red eyes looked between her legs to him, her hands playing with hard purple nipples capping those full obsidian tits. "Like what you see?" her throatily husky voice asked with a taunting tone to it. Blaze could only nod in response as he could barely restrain himself from taking her right there and then. Rae laughed darkly and raised herself, hips now moving sensually side to side as her hands slid over them and cupped her ass cheeks, looking over her shoulder to him. "Mmmmmm" she moaned as she turned and revealed herself to him finally, breasts swaying heavily with the movement. She took her hand to raise her breast as she lowered her head to flick her tongue about the hard nipple. Hips still swaying, the drowess dropped her hand again to join the other at the waistband so she could begin to lower it. Slowly swaying to the drum beat, she revealed her sleek thighs as she pushed them down further. Bending over towards him now, he was treated to her full breasts swaying gently as she fully removed her black leggings and kicked them aside. Losing herself even more to the beat and the arousal from seeing the hunger in his eyes, she slid her fingertips to her pussy with her hips still weaving. Rae moaned as she parted those dark nether lips to reveal her wetness to him teasingly for a moment before sliding them in and out of her hot slit. Her tongue flicked across her lips as she moaned hungrily to him. Blaze heard her beckoning moan and stood swiftly, removing his pants quickly to let the object of her desire spring forth. He pushed the drowess to where she leaned diagonally against the wall behind her. The black-skinned beauty hissed approvingly as he lifted her left leg up to spread open her pussy for his cock to enter. Blaze groaned slightly as he eased his cock into the tight hot folds of the dark elf's cunt. A satisfied growl escaped from her throat as she felt him enter her and fill her depths with that large pale rod of his. With a hiss as he slammed the rest of his length full into, she pushed up from the wall and clung to him and biting at his neck. "Xas! Vith me! Fuck me Blaze! By the Abyss I need you to fuck me!!!" Rae cried out as she closed her eyes as she let the sensation of being completely impaled send her generous curves into shivers of complete ecstasy. The young warrior was always amazed at how tight she was, her dark cunt gripping fiercely at his rod wetly as he began to thrust it in and out of her in fast rough strokes. The drowess clung to him desperately as she cried out with each meeting of their hips resound wetly in the still of the alley. Drawing back from biting his neck, she turned her lush lips to play across his before crushing them together with an unrivaled passion. Her tight cunt and inner muscles drew him deeper into her hot depths all the while coaxing him towards that much desired release. Rae broke the kiss to throw her head back and let out a passionate scream as his fast rhythm fucking her was driving her insane and wild. He pressed her back up against the wall as his strokes became more powerful and brutal. She couldn't help it that this human drove her sexual libido to new heights that made her writhe against that wall with her hands painfully clutching his shoulders. "Xas.... GODS!!!..... Fuck it... NNUUUGGH.... Harder...... XAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!!!!!" she mumbled between gasps before cumming. Her pussy coated his cock thickly with her juices as her shrieks echoed beyond the alleyway. She lost track of time and orgasms as he harshly pounded her so beautifully against that wall with her breasts bouncing with every thrust. Her red eyes blinked when she felt him move once more and found herself straddling him once again as he sat down upon the crate. She almost whimpered as she felt so completely speared through by that pale cock. Moaning with delight at her Patron's willingness to let her dominate him now, she moved slowly first to get more used to that engorged muscle within her now trembling depths before feeling her fire building anew. Blaze gasped as his dark lover pushed her sleek ass across his thighs and ground her pelvis against his. Her hands gripped his shoulders firmly as she used them to help herself move up and down on his cock while her ass continued to move back and forth with increasing need. She tossed her head back once more and screamed, her large obsidian breasts thrust upward and swaying about with her rocking motion as she fucked herself blissfully on top of him. Rae was almost hysterical with the pleasure raging throughout her body. Her hands now planted on his chest, she rode him with her dark skin glistening with beads of moisture and her head tossed side to side. Her body writhed sensually on top of that large rod with her ebony tits swaying and bouncing with each movement as she lost herself in the moment. Rae began to feel her inner fire begin to build to a roaring inferno. "Please..... Blaze!" She gasped frantically, "I need your cum! I need to feel you fill my cunt with your hot cum! I'm going to go vithing crazy if you don't fill my fucking womb with every drop you have!!!" Death's Mistress raised her arms over her head now and rocked her pelvis back and forth with more fervor as her lips parted in a low scream of sheer pleasure filling the air and made her arms tremble in visibly showing her need. Her cunt violently went into spasms as she shook, letting the release overtake her body and wash her away. Her low scream grew to a high pitched shriek that the whole desert town must surely hear as her sweet drow juices flooded out of her. Rae heard him grunt and felt his large pale cock move inside her dark twat, cum erupting from his cock deeply into her. "OH VITH!!!!!!!!!!" She gasped, red eyes opening wide to gaze at him in disbelief as his spurting cum triggered a bigger orgasm that simply crushed the essence of her being. Droplets of sweat flung from her body as her nails dug into his shoulders so hard they drew blood as she threw herself back so far that her glistening breasts arched towards the sky in their firm reach as she unleashed a scream that hurt her throat while her hips ground against his furiously as her juices squirted out of her to drench his hips and the crate below in one of the largest orgasms in her existence!!! Blaze groaned as he came down from his orgasm, his cum having filled the dark body of the drowess. His ears still rung painfully from the unbelievable scream that had escaped her. The drowess hung limply in his arms now, gazing dreamily in half consciousness to the sky. He pulled her into his arms and cradled her there until she would recover. He glanced over to see Tyra and Nadine peeking over the protective wall they had built to see their grins. Rae could feel her entire body trembling from the bliss it had never before reached except that first time with Blaze. This man was unbelievable in the heights of pleasure he could give women. She pressed her cheek against his chest and closed her eyes as she recovered. The sex had been wonderful. But even more importantly was the other matter. She silently thought of the other woman who'd enabled her to do what she had long wished to do. Thank you, Kendra. For teaching me how to dance for him.... ******************** The sensual succubus sighed to herself as she watched the dark elf drag her lover off for a quick, rough romp in an alley. Every blasted time Blaze showed the darker side of himself, she swore the drowess got hornier than a damn goblin set loose in a glade full of nymphs! The demoness had to admit to herself that such a display roused her darker desires as well. By the Abyss she loved that man! Watching her companions trail after Blaze and Rae, her gaze fell down upon the boy whom Blaze had just saved from being maimed for life. Her eyes glanced sideways for a moment to the man who had been about to do such to the boy. The man was shivering still from the experience as he looked after Blaze's exit as well. Her eyes narrowed as he noticed her watching him. Upon seeing the look in her eyes, the man clearly soiled himself for all to see before ducking back behind his merchandise. Her dangerous gaze turned away. This man would not be bothering the boy ever again sure enough. Her green gaze turned back to the boy and noticed he was looking up at her through the mountainous cleavage of her breasts. She saw the awe in the boy's eyes as well as the confusion, clearly not understanding this fascination with a girl where none had existed before. She couldn't help but chuckle slightly. She tended to have that effect on everyone, including the young ones. She could already see this boy would grow into a fine young man. Give him some more years to reach the appropriate age and she would have even considered taking him into ecstasy. And maybe even let him live... She smirked slightly before winking to him, "Hey there, little man. Don't worry as everything is fine now. What's your name?" "Hakim, ma'am," he answered a bit shyly. The demoness chuckled with mirth in her eyes. Hakim was just too cute! Would her and Richard's children be just as cute? Knowing Richard, even cuter with his offspring. "Well Hakim," She smiled as she dropped down into a crouch before him, her full round breasts brushing his face. "My name is Kendra. That man that saved you is my lover. The others are my friends. Strangers that we may be in this place, you don't need to fear us. In fact, I was hoping you could help us out." When Hakim nodded shyly that he understood, she smiled brightly in return. He was hesitant still but chose to carefully listen to her. Smart boy. "We need to find a place to rest. We've had a long trek and after Rae has her way with Blaze, some of us will need the rest more than ever. Do you know of a place where we can?" The young boy nodded and smiled brightly when she kissed him on the forehead. "Sure! Follow me and I'll show you the best inn in town. It won't be the most expensive but it is certainly worth the price. My parents used to work there and the owner lets me sleep there at night." The demoness nodded and rose from her crouch, following the boy that set out among the thinning crowds. The others would be able to find her easily enough with Nadine's nose on their side. After a few moments of silence, she looked to Hakim. "What happened to your parents?" The boy slowed for a moment before continuing onward. She hadn't missed the implications of his words. "They're dead," he answered a bit sadly. "Murdered about two years ago..." "Murdered? By whom?" She asked, knowing it was a sensitive topic but liking the boy to where she wanted to know more. Perhaps she could help in some way in repayment for his generosity. "Fathi murdered them," Hakim muttered angrily. "Actually, his men murdered them by his orders." He glanced back to her with a knowing look, clearly wiser before his age due to the wrongs he experienced so far in life. The succubus truly felt sadness for the child, innocence forever lost. "You see... My parents stood up to him not long after he gained power. He came to become the town's Imar, or leader, through the preaching's of his khuza. Khuza are supposed to be religious leaders that teach the holy word of Visralar." Blazing Glory Ch. 11 Kendra's green eyes narrowed as she glanced about the surrounding buildings. She knew where this sad story was going as she had seen a few similar situations arise in the centuries she'd been around. "And I suppose these khuzas don't exactly meet the desired criteria of teaching holy men." Hakim nodded as they continued walking. "His khuzas spread a vile warped word of Visralar. Meanwhile, other holy teachers began to die or disappear mysteriously until only those wretches were left. Soon all we had were the teachings of violent retribution and the glory of self-sacrifice that contradicted the true word of Visralar, love and forgiveness. Visralar cherishes the beauty of life and its beings but the khuzas have warped many now into believing violence, subjugation of women, and intolerance of non-believers." "Thus that worm's reaction back there when Blaze criticized Visralar and mentioned Stavros," Kendra sighed. Perhaps they would have been better off in the desert rather than come into this viper's nest of religious fanaticism. "Through all this, Fathi gained power through taking money from worshippers and becoming richer. Soon no one could oppose his wealth, thugs, and blind followers. My parents saw this for what it was and voiced their concern. Word spread quickly to Fathi and he had them assassinated to quell any started uprising. Others have died in the same manner for the same reasons, making others afraid to stand up to him." Kendra's hands tightened into fists until her knuckles where nearly white. The powerful demoness was beginning to fill with rising anger. As a creature of the Abyss, she was evil herself. Most would think such matters wouldn't upset her and be petty for thought. But even her kind abided by a code. Evil that they are, they still didn't behave like a bunch of lawless scum like other beings of darkness. Such chaos disgusted her kind. She never condoned the unwarranted slaughter of innocents. The succubus only killed as a matter for survival. The sensual beauty was lost in thought for a while after that as she relived those memories until Hakim drew up to a stop in front of her. Green eyes glancing upwards, Kendra looked at medium sized building of two stories with a man sleeping on a flying carpet displayed on the sign. The boy looked back to her and smiled before beckoning her on in. Kendra could only sigh with a troubled feeling that things were going to become messier than they would like... ******************** Blaze relaxed as he lay down upon the bed. An actual bed! It had been so long since he had slept on something so comfortable that he'd almost forgotten what it felt like. After sleeping on the ground for so many days and nights, you can quickly learn to appreciate the simple comfort of a cushy mattress below your back. The last time he laid upon a bed was on Marissa and Clarissa's ship. That last thought made him frown as he hoped they had survived the storm as well. But now he and his companions rested in comfort for once in the inn called the Gliding Dreams. An odd name to be sure, but the way this bed felt so good he was sure he would be drifting off to the world of dreams soon enough. He couldn't blame his body for being so exhausted. The long trek and Rae, of all times, choosing to have wild uninhibited sex in an alley. When they had finished, Kendra was nowhere to be found out in the street. Tyra said she had spotted her wandering off with the boy he had saved just before she and Nadine stood guard to make sure none interrupted him and the drowses before partaking in the fun themselves by watching. It was a good thing no one disturbed them, because of the way Rae was any person interrupting them would have been killed to be sure. Fortunately they had Nadine's nose on their side and she was able to track down the succubus's 'delectable', as the catwoman called it, scent to this inn. "I'm telling you the foods I've seen on the street are amazing," Nadine chirped excitedly to Tyra off to the side. "I can't wait to try everything here. They all smell like a tongue orgasm just waiting to happen!" "I can't believe you keep that figure of yours with the way you are with food," The big gargoyle laughed. "Well you know what they say.. Once on the lips, forever on the hips!" The catwoman giggled hysterically. "And I've got plenty of hips, right Blaze?" "Eh?" Blaze mutter groggily as he opened his eyes to glance over from where he lay. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he got an eyeful of a perfectly shaped fur-covered ass swaying in his face teasingly. Glancing up her hourglass figure, he met Nadine's knowing eyes as she gave over into another giggling fit! "If that is true, then your hips are like a bottomless pit in the Abyss because we never see it get any bigger," smirked the drowess sitting in the chair with feet propped up on the table. She held a glass filled with a dark red wine and sipped at it, all with the satiated look of a spider queen having fed to her heart's content. Blaze shifted his uncomfortably aroused crotch a bit as he was forced to agree with Rae. Nadine had a gorgeous figure to be sure. Sitting up on the bed, he looked over to Kendra. The succubus had been oddly quiet ever since they had arrived at the inn. She smiled a bit when she saw they had arrived at the inn, but very few words had come from her since. Hakim was more than happy to see him as he literally slammed into Blaze and hugged him as hard as he could with his youthful arms. He was a good lad and looked up to him like a big brother. Blaze sighed at that thought and hoped the kid didn't get too fond of his hero, because this warrior was on a mission that would take him far away after all. Either way, he was a likable kid that everybody liked. Even Rae was not overly harsh in her comments as usual. But he noticed whenever Kendra looked at the boy, her smile faded a bit and there was a clear sadness in her eyes. Something was troubling the demoness. The owner of the inn was grateful to them for what they did for Hakim and vowed that they could stay at the inn free of charge as long as they wished to. Blaze was grateful for that but still wished to help this gentleman has much as he could as far as cleaning dishes or some other chores. His warrior's honor forbade taking full advantage of the charity of others. Kindness should be repaid with more kindness. The afternoon had been spent following Hakim to the market to get some more food supplies. The Gliding Dreams was well known for being a decent place to eat and always attracted a crowd in the evening. Even Tyra tagged along to help with the heavy lifting. What Hakim said normally took four trips they did in one. Tyra inquired why he had stolen that food when the inn's owner could easily feed him. The boy simply responded that he wouldn't stand for becoming a burden on the old man and would fend for himself. Blaze sighed as he sat there and thought about that. A brave and honorable notion, but one that could have gotten him killed. Sometimes there is nothing wrong in asking for help, especially when that person is one you know who would be more than happy to assist. "Blaze..." "Yes?" He blinked out of his daydreaming, surprised so much that Kendra had spoken up that he jumped slightly along with the others. "We need to talk... about this tow-" she began before a knock on the door interrupted her. With a scowl that sent chills down his spine, the succubus turned around and threw open the door. Two large men with turbans stood there looking down at Kendra with their arms folded across the large muscular expanse of their chests. Their eyes glowered with indifference at the woman standing in front of them so boldly. Kendra's eyebrow in the meantime twitched with irritation as she looked between the both of them. "Well what the hell do you want? OUT WITH IT!" the demoness barked harshly. Both men's arms dropped slightly from their chests in shock that she spoke to them in such a way. "Woman! How dare you! Know your place wench!" roared the one on the left as he lashed out with quickness that surprised Blaze, not having suspected such behemoths capable of such speed. Fast as they were, the demoness' one hand caught the giant meaty fist instantly. The large man suddenly cried out in pain as the popping of knuckles and bones breaking brought him to his knees as the succubus squeezed with her demonic strength. "My place is right here, over scum.... scum like you that think I am unworthy to even speak just because of my sex. As luck would have it, you have caught me in a very fine mood to kill in the bloodiest fashion imaginable. Now tell me what you're here for... lest I crush something more valuable to you other than every bone in your bodies, hmm?" She hummed suggestively with a quirked brow. Both men caught the hint clear as day as they swallowed nervously, hands dropping slightly to their crotches in reaction. "Fathi has learned of your coming to our city and wishes to meet with you. He is excited to meet newcomers and hear news from the outside world," the guard still standing said swiftly. Before Kendra could snarl an angry response, Blaze chimed in, "We would be more than happy to oblige his courtesy. Where and when?" "Tomorrow night, at his palace. He is having a lavish dinner prepared for all of you as we speak." "Alright then. We shall clean ourselves up and make ready to look proper for the honorable occasion given for us. We will find our way there shortly after. Please leave directions for us downstairs." "Mostly certainly, sir," they both said in unison with a deep bow before leaving swiftly, one clutching his broken hand painfully as they went. Blaze sighed as Kendra angrily slammed the door after the men. Tyra and Nadine shared a concerned look while Rae looked on with a cool gaze. "Now before you get us well kicked out of this town by cracking a few more bones, Kendra... Mind you inform us what you were about to say that has your feathers ruffled? And how it has to deal with those men just then that made your anger rise suddenly," inquired the drowess with steely red eyes. The succubus glanced over to Rae and met the other's gaze. Both shared a look of understanding and the bond that had formed between the two women of evil races. Kendra hadn't fooled Rae for one moment that her anger towards the men had been from simple frustration. She had snapped when she heard the religious rhetoric. The image of a younger Hakim crying over his parents' corpses had flashed through her mind at that moment and her temper snapped. Blaze's voice had brought her back from spraying the hallway with those men's' blood. "We've stumbled into a town full of dangerous fanatics... as I learned from Hakim," she answered them as she looked about. "Fanatics? Of which variety?" Nadine asked nervously. "The most dangerous kind, religious fanatics," she sighed with a shake of her head. "We should have surmised as much from the actions of that merchant towards Hakim earlier." Blaze frowned as he sat up more while digesting this information. "True enough. No god worthy of fierce loving devotion and praise would approve of such actions. So this fanaticism is the town's religion?" The succubus shook her head, "No, this isn't organized stupidity like many other religions. This is just a ragtag group that are using force and fear to have their way with the people and gradually trying to warp their mindsets into accepting things the way they've become. I've seen this happen before..." "And more than likely word has spread of our defiance towards said establishment these fanatics have put in place," Tyra sighed. Kendra nodded, "This Fathi is their leader and one responsible for the assassination many who dared oppose him and his lackeys, including Hakim's parents." Four heads snapped to Kendra more attentively with that statement and looks darkened as she nodded that it was true. Everyone had come to like the boy so much that this news riled their anger. "Well then," Blaze said with a wry smile, "it seems we have a snake infestation the town is in need ridding of. Let's go meet the snake's head cordially and then come back to plan on how to remove it." Rae hissed approvingly as her eyes glowed all the more brightly in eagerness along with everyone else. "Xas... and then raise some bloody hell..." ******************* Blaze cleared his throat as he stepped up to the gate of the largest building complex within the town. They were not even in the building yet but at the front entrance, to what it seemed was a large inner courtyard that lead up to the sizable mansion on the other side. Looking through the bars, he could see lush plants in a garden that reminded him slightly of the one Stavros had in his abode. He could see the source of the rushing sound in an extravagantly carved fountain placed here and there throughout the grounds. Apparently Fathi had no problem using the wealth he stole from this town for his own hedonistic pleasure, he thought grimly. He glanced behind himself to the others as the guard approached to let them inside. They had used the day prior to ready themselves properly for the occasion in formal attire. They did not want to show up looking like a ragtag group of adventurers covered in filth. More than likely they would have been turned away for such disrespect and lost any chance to gain insight on the layout of the grounds for their assault. Nadine had always been well prepared for situations like this and now wore her white dress that hugged her furry curves beautifully. Tyra chose to wear her golden armor as a military-like formality by rationalizing that she was Blaze's guardian after all. Kendra and Rae and swiped some of the gold from their group funds and made their way into the town prior after hearing from Hakim of the town's superior tailors and speed in trade. The end result of their demands at the dress shops were an instant nosebleed that left him out cold the following morning for a few hours! Looking back now over his shoulder at them now, it was almost hard to not pass out again. It was almost as if they really wanted to insult the fanatical beliefs of Fathi's group concerning women and modest clothing. Knowing it would be fully dark at the time of the private dinner, the drowess had taken full advantage to give her obsidian black skin some air. And boy did she ever! Death's Mistress stood behind him now in a sleeveless silver-colored dress that was low cut on her chest to barely contain her firm breasts while displaying ample cleavage. The one piece dress fell all the way to her shins with a slit up the right side to show her tantalizing leg. Tyra had jokingly quipped to the assassin that she was dressed to kill. Rae simply smiled in a chilling fashion as she pulled the slit aside and higher to reveal a silver garter holding multiple small daggers. Kendra was true to her nature as a succubus and created the most sexually arousing dress possible. The demoness wore a one piece dress. The top encircled her neck with a choker that extended down her chest and expanded out to cover the succubus's large breasts. It continued only a little further down in the front before ending suddenly leaving the smooth expanse of her belly bare. Her skirt covered the curvature of her perfect ass in its near ankle length reach. Two slits along its length up both sides to reveal sensual thighs and gorgeous long legs. The most astounding part of the dress was that the top was nearly backless except for the small amount of material connecting the top to her skirt, showing off the alluring curving slope of soft almond brown skin of her back. The demoness liked this feature the best as she allowed her wings to be released and uninhibited. She wanted Fathi to know what she was and have the fear of having a demon in his midst. Kendra noticed him looking at her over his shoulder for quite some time and chuckled with a wink to him. He cleared his throat again as he looked forward with the sound of the guard unlocking the gate. He felt a soft breath by his ear that made him blink as the door swung open. "Don't worry lover... I'll fuck you in this outfit in due time," the succubus purred sexily into his ear before giving it a soft kiss. By Stavros, what a woman! As they stepped inside, they were greeted by the unexpected. Kneeling before them, as a servant would a master, was a woman. But this woman was not like any that they had seen before in this town. Her skin was a green like the leaves of the jungle they remembered from weeks before. Long waves of luscious dark green hair fell down her back and about her shoulders. The woman was not wearing much to cover her luscious figure. Loose baggy leggings made out of such a fine beautiful material that he could make out the shape of her legs beneath its cover. Barely restraining full firm breasts was a strapless top made of the same material that left her stomach exposed like Kendra. Fine jewelry adorned her hair, wrists, and ankles. He was surprised that out of everyone present, she was the only one barefoot. Kendra hissed softly behind him as the green skinned beauty looked up with bright blue eyes. "So that's how the bastard did it..." He was about to inquire what the succubus was so up-in-arms about all of a sudden, but she quickly turned around to speak quietly to the ladies behind her. By her swift words and their looks of shock turning to grim seriousness, he started becoming uneasy about this. "Welcome. Master Fathi has been looking forward to meeting you this evening," the green skinned beauty spoke in a soft voice. She rose from her kneeling position to stand before him. Turning aside, she extended an arm towards the mansion in gracious cordiality. "Please follow me." The gate banged harshly as the guard closed it and locked it with his key as they began to follow the unusual woman through the lush gardens. She seemed to almost blend in with the green surroundings of the lush garden. The variety of plants all around made him feel as if he were truly back in the jungle of the Amazons once again. He felt a soft yet firm hand grasp his and pull back to slow him down. He looked over his shoulder to meet his lover's serious eyes as the others passed them by. Something was seriously wrong. As the others followed their chaperone, Blaze dropped back with Kendra a little so they could speak more privately out of earshot. "What is it?" Kendra drew up close to his side, sliding her arm about his as they walked together. "She's a Janni..." Blaze felt the bumps on his skin rise with the chill that ran up his spine. He didn't know what that was, but her whispered tone with a hint of fear told him they were dealing with one of the worst situations of their journey so far. "What is a 'janni'?" "She's a genie, a supernatural being made of the four elements. There are many more types of genies that are far more powerful than the Janni, but she is powerful nonetheless." Blaze glanced back towards the genie that they were following now through the wide doors of the palisade, "If she is so powerful, why is she acting like a servant of this Fathi?" "Probably because she actually is," the demoness sighed, "because he probably has ensnared her. You can bind some genies to your will by either using mystical devices or taking possession of the object that is their connection to this realm. It can be many things from an oil lamp to a simple glass bottle." Glancing about at all of the fine furniture and draperies putting on a display of supreme wealth as they walked through the quiet hallways, he glanced down to her concerned eyes. "And what can he make her do as his servant?" "Grant him wishes. Some tales in this world only say three, but we demons know better. Once captured and enslaved, a genie can grant almost any wish you want forever until freed. They have their limits of power, but those are few and far in-between. Demons have coveted such a power but never attained it. Often the genies killed the demons before they could entrap them. Even I may not be a match for her if he turns her full power upon us." Blazing Glory Ch. 11 The young warrior tried to swallow but his mouth had gone dry. Someone even more powerful than Kendra? He'd always thought it was easily possible that there were creatures more powerful than a succubus from the realm of demons, but he'd idled the fancy that they would never have to worry about encountering something like that. When things would get rough, he knew he could count on Kendra to come through for them. Now she was telling him that trump card was not going to work in this case. "As I told the others, I don't think we're going to have the opportunity to go back and prepare for an assault," Kendra whispered finally as they all came to a stop before doors gilded with gold and inset rubies and jadestones. As the genie opened both doors wide, Blade felt his heart drop into his stomach. As he walked through those doors, he felt like a man walking to the gallows. ******************* Grass swayed gently in the soft breeze that carried some dust along with it. This breeze blew across the silent, empty expanse of a village within the lightly wooded forest. It was a small, quaint little village nestled in this forest with its homes and vegetable gardens. It looked like a peaceful slice of heaven if not for the silence. Where there would normally be the activity of people going about the day greeting each other as they passed by and children laughing as they played in the streets, there was nothing. Only absolute stillness. In the middle of the main street of this small town stood a lone figure. Her dress swayed gently in the breeze as she appreciated the feel of its touch against her skin. She sighed softly, as clouds passed by to let the sun kiss her skin with its warmth in its afternoon drift. The smell of the forest and flowers of the village wafted through the air. It was a beautiful day to die, thought Tanna Roselei. She stood there looking west, waiting for her death to come from that direction. She had been reflecting on what had happened in the days leading up to this as well as a majority of her long elven life so far. Her name was true in its implications, for she was related to Queen Roselei as a cousin. One of Allora's few relatives and Tanna her childhood friend since they had been born around the same time. She looked a lot like the queen with her elegant body, long blonde hair. Only her eyes more a soft hazel rather than blue. The other difference that Allora always liked to tease her jokingly about on visits was her chest. Whereas Allora was an elf in truest sense with firm pert elven breasts, Tanna was the exception. Her breasts had swelled and not stopped when she was growing up, this leading to her slender ribcage supporting large breasts with elven firmness. Many of the court said, while this wasn't a pure elven trait, her larger breasts enhanced Tanna's incredible beauty. She was always abashed about the looks of envy she received by the women and lust from the men. Sometimes, she confided to Allora, beauty was more a curse than blessing. And she was nothing, compared the Callista. Though many despised the Silver Enchantress, Tanna felt respect and pity for the scorned woman. While the woman had power beyond measure that also made Tanna nervous, she could not help but be amazed by the sorceress's beauty. And to top that, Callista's breasts were bigger than her own. Tanna almost laughed to herself as she stood there thinking this. Wishing other men's lustful desire for her breasts be pushed upon someone else when she was becoming envious of Callista's impressive bust. She sighed, now wishing she had gotten to know the Silver Enchantress more than just the few times they'd met. But now she would die, unable to fulfill such a desire. The word had come fast from villages further west. An army beyond comprehension was tearing through the forests towards the open plains of their kingdom in an unchallenged conquest. The army was made of an alliance of the most evil races. The reports of the carnage sent shivers down her spine. A royal messenger had arrived while she, her village's Head Mistress, overlooked the preparations. She'd sent the messenger back with an understanding but rueful lie. Allora was making her way to confront this invasion with the elven army, but she knew that her cousin was making with desperate haste to reach her childhood friend in time. Allora wasn't going to make it in time. That she'd already surmised by some of the village hunters reporting on the close proximity of the army. She continued the evacuation of her home and sent her people east days before the enemy would arrive. The Head Mistress would stay and provide enough of a distraction with her presence. Many objected but she would have none of it. If they found an empty village, they would send a pursuit party to kill them all. At least with her, they would lose time when they chose to torture her under the pretense to find out where her people were hiding. And today was the day they should arrive. Her eyes caught the wisp of rising dust up ahead. But her pointy ears had long since heard the thumping of large footprints. Within a matter of minutes, a group of heavily armored orcs charged into the town. She stood there calmly in her regal beauty as they surrounded her at spear point while the others broke in every building of the village in search of any resistance attempt from within. Through all of the banging and crashing of destruction of the homes around her, a large green orc approached and parted the circle about her. "Drop ya spears boys, she doesn't look ta be any threat," he snorted as he ran a finger along a mighty tusk, "I am Gondir an' this is me forward scout troop. Who are ye?" "Tanna, Head Mistress of this village," she answered, head held high. She gasped as white hot pain erupted from her left cheek. The brutal slap echoed through the hair as she staggered to the side a bit. Her cheek stung fiercely as the other orcs about her whistled and chuckled at the indignant look she shot back at Gondir. "Dun ye fuckin' talk down to me, elven wench. Look down ye nose like tha again and I'll have the boys 'ere skewer you good!" Gondir roared. After seeing her nod that she understood and would comply, his tone lowered and anger subsided. "Now where are the others?" "Long gone by now," She answered, her gaze submissively to the ground. The orc leader snorted in disgust at her attempt to protect her people and laughed. "Dun worry. They'll be wiped out soon enough along with da rest of the races this side of the continent." Tanna wanted to glare at him angrily but knew better. She had to stall to give her people more time to reach Allora's army. Cheek still aching from the slap, she stood there silent doing her best to look defeated and humiliated when her spirit was anything but. "Captain Gondir," roared an orc in the distance, his voice growing as grew closer to them. "I found a few more of da rats lurking in the woods just beyond." Her head snapped up, eyes wide at hearing that. Impossible! She had given explicit orders that no one was to return for her! Who would dare be so rash and jeopardize themselves in such a foolish cause!? The circle about her parted as an orc dragged up two figures with each meaty paws. The smaller figures struggled in his grasp, but they could not best such strength the orc had. When she saw who they were, her breath left her and her knees almost caved in beneath her. Alon and Sadron! The orc tossed the two young men into the circle about them. The two looked almost like brothers so much it had drawn them together to be best friends. Alon had the brightest blue eyes of the village and Sadron with rich forest green eyes. These two had just come of the consenting age, no longer boys but barely men. She had been fond of them as she watched them grow up. Tanna had been excited when they'd passed consenting age not long ago and had been looking forward to preside over their vow exchange day when they found the girl of their dreams. "Why are you here," her voice whispered hoarsely, in fear for their very lives now. The young men flinched back a little as they looked up to her shamefully, taking her hoarse tone for anger. "We wanted to be here to protect you," Alon answered softly, cheeks flushed. Her mind was a whirlwind of emotion as she wanted to be absolutely furious with them. Yet Tanna couldn't bring herself to be so. As they had been growing up under her watch, she had seen the looks she had gotten from them not unlike the other men. The boys had a crush on the Head Mistress of their village and she knew about it. She had hoped they would grow out of it and find a nice elf girl in the town their own age. Apparently, their feelings for her hadn't changed too significantly. "Noble," Gondir snorted with a chuckle, "Stupid, but noble me lads." Tanna wanted to turn angrily on the vile orc and tell him to leave them be, but knew better. The young men hung their heads in shame as they realized how foolish their actions had been. They had stood no chance against a trained orc soldier let alone many of them. She quickly tried to think of a way to plead for their lives in a way that may somehow remotely sway this evil beast behind her when further motion drew her gaze from the west. A slower entourage made its way into the village and towards them. Only a few orcs comprised this group. What made her eyes grow wide was the group of at least twenty elves shackled, beaten and in tattered clothes shuffle up to the gather in the center of the village. Gondir looked back over his shoulder as they came up and sighed slightly. "They are nah of much use now are they?" "W-what do you mean?" The orc looked over to her with an evil sneer, "We like ta keep some of our prey alive so as ta provide motivation ta da other villages we come upon. We were hoping ta use them ta make ye and yer other lady folk 'entertain' us fer a while in order ta keep them alive." Tanna's blood drained from her face and her blood went cold at the implications of his words and the chuckles and emanated from the group of orcs around them. Dear spirits, she knew it was a possibility that this could happen but she had been rather hopeful to just be killed when they'd come. "But now tha we 'ave some boys 'ere," he nodded to Alon and Sadron with a smirk, "If you want to keep them alive, you'll entertain them in front of all of us!" Tnna's heart stopped and her world when white. She couldn't breathe as Gondir's laughter seemed to come from an unseen distance far off. This couldn't be happening. She, the Head Mistress of her town, would entertain these young men. These two young men that had grown up before her? She would be having sex with them.... In front of all these orcs and elves? No! But if she didn't, they would be killed. Swaying light-headedly on her feet, she managed to look slightly towards the captured elves who had been forced to sit in one corner of the circle. These were people she knew and they knew her. They knew of her reputation. The cousin of Queen Roselei acting like a depraved slut and taking the virginity of two young men? She would never hear the end of it if they made it through this. But she was surprised not to see wishes for her resist doing such, but rather sad looks of understanding. They knew. She had to. "May I speak to these young men for just a moment... Before we start?" her voice shakily asked Gondir. The orc snorted and shrugged, "Why nah? Go ahead, but try anything fishy and ye all die, ya hear?" Tanna nodded and brushed her long blonde hair aside as she moved over to Alon and Sadron, bidding them to rise up from their knees. When they rose, she drew both in with an arm about their shoulders and pressed her forehead gently to theirs in their little gathering. "What do they mean to do to us?" Sadron whispered in fear after a few moments had passed without her saying a word. "I don't know," she whispered back in a soft reassuring tone. "But what I mean to do now is to ensure your lives. I want you both to understand this and not resist. I know from your school education we give that one class taught you about life and how it comes to be. That is what I am going to do to you." "What?" Alon's voice cracked, "But.." "No buts!" she hushed his and Sadron's forming protest. "I am going to take your virginity even though I am not your wife. If I do not have sex with you, they will kill you. I know you boys have liked me in the past... I want you to give in so you may possibly live through this. I want you to take my body." Both Alon and Sadron exchanged uneasy looks. This went against the customs of their people. It was almost taboo. But silently the nodded in acquiesce. "If this is to be the last hour of our lives, then let us enjoy it together," She whispered finally to them before leaning away. Stepping back, she barely nodded to Gondir that she was starting before she focused solely on the young men before her and blocking out all other things from her mind. Her chest heaved nervously as she let her inhibitions slowly out and convince herself to go through with this. She was going to fuck and not only that, she was going to be fucked by two young men at the same time. The thought was dirty yet started getting her hot below. Tanna took hold of the left sleeve of her simple elven dress and eased it down over one shoulder, baring her soft pale skin to the entranced young men. Taking her other shoulder down, it fell gently down her body with a slight hesitation after being caught by the curvature of her large breasts. Her pink nipples stood out proudly already capping her melonous tits perfectly. Her eyes looked down to see the growing cocks in their pants as they laid eyes on their first naked female. Both young men watched in amazement as they could see the busty Head Mistress strip in front of them. Her body was just as amazing as they had imagined and always jerked off to at night in the privacy of their own rooms. The object of all their fantasies was now walking towards them, large firm tits pointing toward her intended victims. Their cocks strained tightly against their pants as one of the rare beauties of the elven kingdom approached. The body of the older woman was perfect along with her breasts, a taut smooth belly leading down to a perfectly smooth pussy. The naked slender elf before them almost made them cum in their pants right then. Tanna tried her best to ignore the whistles and vulgar calls of the orcs around her as she knelt down before the young men. She had seen the desire in their eyes and felt a small twinge of delight that they liked what they saw in her body. Her eyes looking up into theirs, she gave them both a sexy smile as she undid the front ties of Alon's pants before yanking them off. Tanna gasped as his young cock sprung into view, already hard and dripping precum from the slit. "My you have a handsome cock, young man. Whatever, could it be for? Me?" She hummed softly, putting on the best show she could for the orcs. It was a nice sized cock on the young elf though. Alon watched in amazement as the Head Mistress winked up to him before leaning forward to lick the head of his cock with her tongue. A jolt of sheer pleasure ran through his entire being and made him cry out as her tongue ran along the sensitive tip. He could barely hear her hum pleasantly as she tasted the precum with pleasure. Eyes closed and body shaking slightly, Alon was so lost in the sensation of her running that tongue about his hard meaty sword that the hot wet sensation took him by surprise. Tanna couldn't restrain herself any further. That cock tasted so good and it had been so long. To make it even better, it was sweet Alon's young member. She'd given into her lust fully and wanted to make this virile cock hers alone! She took it fully into her mouth with one full suckle that made Alon cry out loudly. She felt the pulsating heat of that cock in her mouth as she swirled her tongue all about its length. Her head bobbed back and forth as she sucked on the length with pleasant muffled grunts. The wet slurping of her blowjob filled the quiet air as the crowd watched the blonde elf beauty suck the cock like a well-seasoned whore. Alon couldn't hold it in as it was too much. The sensation was unreal and the sight below him of the Head Mistress, blonde hair swaying with her movements, sucking at his cock hungrily. No man, let alone a virgin, could hold out long to such. He cried out as his young cock went into violent spasms and jetted forth virginal cum into the hot depths of her throat! Tanna grunted with surprise and held still, the audible sound of her now gulping down his cum until he was done. Her pussy was now dripping wet with arousal as the cum was like the most powerful aphrodisiac she could imagine. It tasted wonderful and she had to have more! She looked over hungrily to Sadron who already had his pants down and hand wrapped about his own hard dick, aroused at the sight of her fellatio like everyone else. Releasing Alon from her mouth, she grasped his cock and gently stroked it to keep it hard as she leaned over to Sadron with a seductive smile. Sadron took his hand from his cock and watched in ready excitement. The class had taught them of sex, but not what she was doing at the moment. He'd never thought of a woman putting her mouth there and the dirty sight of her sucking Alon with the pleasure his friend showed made him eager. He nearly blew his wad when that wet sensation now engulfed his sensitive rod. Tanna hummed pleasantly as she took Sadron's meaty cock into her mouth. It was a bit thinner the Alon's but longer in length, which gave her an idea for a treat to give the young man. She watched his eyes grow further in amazement as his cock slid down her throat. Her hand reached down to rub the clit of her wet pussy mound as her throat muscles gently coaxed Sadron's cock encouragingly. Sadron was so close already and now understood why Alon hadn't lasted very long. The wet suckling sensation was incredible. He gasped as his hands seized took hold of her hair and his hips thrust forward. She moaned approvingly as he began to move her head in conjunction with his hips to slide his cock in and out of her hot throat. He couldn't believe he was fucking the Head Mistress's mouth and she loved it. The thought alone made him lose it. Tanna blinked as Sadron let go of her head and cried out in ecstasy. She gasped as she drew off that cock immediately as it started spewing jizz out in rapid hot spurts that sprayed her face and onto her large tits. Sadron stumbled back a little when he came down from his orgasmic bliss. The Head Mistress wiped the spunk from her face and suckled it off her fingers for all to see. She dropped her hands to rub the cum on her breasts about them, making them glisten wetly in the light. Alon's cock was still hard in her other hand and Sadron's was as well. Ah, the youth and their endurance! She smiled as she gently pushed Alon down onto his back. She couldn't wait any longer. She hadn't had a cock in ages and she needed, no she wanted, to be fucked hard now! "Now be a good boy and fuck me good with that gorgeous cock of yours," she said to the young man as she raised herself up over him. Alon lay on his back a he looked up to the Head Mistress in all her naked glory straddle him and aim his hard virginal sword towards her entrance. This was it, he breathed heavily in excitement. He was about to lose his virginity to the Head Mistress just like he'd always fantasized. Her eyes locked on his and she gave him a genuine loving smile. Tanna looked down upon the young man with fondness that she'd always had for the both of them. She was in complete lust to lose herself on this cock, but also thrilled she could at least make their first experience enjoyable. Her arousal surpassed that feeling though as soon as she watched his eyes grow bigger and she knew he was feeling her hot moist pussy. She gave an animal groan as she felt that hard rigid length delve slowly into her hot depths. When he bottomed out and reached so deeply into her cunt, she couldn't restrain herself and flung her head back, hair swirling about and large firm breasts bouncing slightly, with a loud scream of ecstasy. Blazing Glory Ch. 11 "YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The gorgeous elf howled with unrequited lust, "BY the GODS! YES! FUCK ME ALON! FUCK ME NOOOOOW!!!!!!" Alon was lost in a wave of absolute pleasure as he watched the elf on top of him grind her hips back and forth before frantically raising her hips up and down on his erection. Instinct took over as he gripped her hips and thrust upwards into the wonderful sensation of her hot pussy. It felt so much better than her mouth had been! He met her hip thrusts with his own and filled the air about the gathering with wet slaps of their fucking. Tanna was lost to herself as well. It felt like the hottest sword had pierced her through and just filled her with the most pleasure possible. Her body trembled slightly as Alon began to get into it more and thrust deeply into her. She let out small screams with each and every thrust as she rode the younger elf's beautiful rod. Her eyes glanced over to see Sadron eager for his turn before a taboo thought entered her mind. She needed to give these orcs a show to better their chances. Truth be told, the idea excited her so much that she came right then. "UNH! YEEEESSS AAAAHHHHHH!" She screamed as she slammed her hips down upon that cock and held herself there as she coated it with her juices. Tanna prayed silently for Alon to hold on just a bit longer. Opening her eyes from her blissful state, she saw him squirming from her milking cunt about his cock but mercifully still having not cum. Trembling still from the intense orgasm, she looked over the Sadron. "Get over here now! As your Head Mistress, I command you to take the beautiful young cock and fuck my ass with it right now mister!" She barked loudly with wanton lust. She heard the other elves gasp and shake their heads pleadingly to not do so. But she had to be a slut to help their chances of survival and those elves knew it. Their reactions only furthered the orcs' cheers and comments to do it. Inside she harbored the excitement of it though. Having a cock rammed up your ass was a very dirty taboo. On top of that being penetrated by two men at one time was even more forbidden. Sadron jumped at her command with a small yelp and was behind her instantly. She leaned forward and pulled her long blonde hair aside as he positioned himself. "Oh by the gods," she groaned as she felt that young cock join its comrade by slowly entering her behind. Her ass clenched at his meaty rod tightly as it hurt a bit at first as she tried to adjust. Squirming on top of Alon and large breasts swaying, she gasped softly as her ass slowly began to relax and get used to the cock. The feeling of two cocks stuffing her holes was incredible that her pussy became even wetter than it already was! She wondered if she could even dare take a third cock in her mouth in such a dirty fashion. "MMmmhmmmMM boys! That's it... Fuck my ass and cunt... Make me your whore!" she cried, tears of joy from the pure bliss as the pleasure exploded through her entire being. "Make your Head Mistress your slut and fill me with all the cum you want! Both of you boys screw my brains out NOW!!!!" Her dirty words got the orcs hooting and cheering as they watched the gorgeous elf with big tits get fucked vigorously by two young elven men. She grunted and screamed nonstop as they rocked her body back and forth as both her pussy and ass clenched tightly about their intruding hard dicks. Between those screams and gasps she encouraged them with her dirty words that made them thrust into her harder and faster than before. Tanna could no longer control herself as she was thrown away on the waves on one orgasm after another. So much wetness from her cum that the squishing and wet slaps of the animalistic fucking grew louder with each passing moment. Their thrusts grew more frantic with each second that passed. She was about to take their virginity at the same time! "YES!.. GIVE IT TO ME!!! GIVE ME YOUR CUM!!! GIVE ME YOUR YOUNG HOT CUM!!!!!! FILL ME UP LIKE I KNOW YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO NUAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!" she screamed before getting interrupted by an earth shattering orgasm that tore throughout her being. Alon and Sadron both grunted as they thrust into her simultaneously and pushing the writhing elf forward physically and audibly as her shriek pierced the air, head thrown back and breasts heaving. They gasped as their cum spurted out into their first woman and filled both her ass and cunt with cum. Tanna trembled nonstop as she felt herself filled with their hot seed and relished in the sensation. The Head Mistress gasped when she felt powerful hands lift her and raise her off the breathless elves below her. Their cum leaked out of her as she dangled in midair, disorientated and dizzy still from the immense orgasm she just had. As she gradually came to, she saw Alon and Sadron being dragged over to the other elves and tossed among them. Looking back to herself, she still found herself dangling in the air and looking down at the ground. "Time fer us to 'ave sum fun," a snorting chuckle from behind, drawing her gaze. Tanna blinked wide as Gondir held her in the air by her hips and aimed as her wet twat was a giant green orc cock! "N-NO!" she gasped as she struggled weakly in that powerful grasp, unable to get away. "That's too big! I'll never be able to take it!" "Well then we ah just gunna find out then aren' we?" the massive orc roared in laughter. Tanna looked back with wide eyes as he pulled her back toward that massive cock. It had to be thicker than her arm! She gasped when she felt that large orc cockhead press against her entrance. The elf's arms flailed outwards in the air as she tried to get away. "You can't! No! Please! NO! NOOOOOOO!!!!!" she screamed futility as that cockhead entered her wet cunt with a loud wet pop. Tears flowed down her cheeks with the pain as he thrust his cock further into her and her walls stretching to accommodate the size. "Please! UNGH!! Don't! AHH!!! I can't!! UHHH!!!!! Take it all!" she begged between grunts. Twinges of pain and pleasure intermixed shot throughout her body. Her eyes shot open wide when he thrust in as far as her body would allow with the head nestled into her womb. A decent length of his cock still remained outside of her as he began to thrust into the elf with short harsh strokes that made her cry out each time. Tanna gasped in shame as she felt the pleasure once again building from having a large cock filling her so much. Her legs raised and locked her feet together behind his back to brace herself in the brutal fucking the orc was giving her body. Gondir laughed as her resistance subsided and continued to pound away at her wonderfully tight elven twat. He let go of her waist and grabbed each of her arms, raising her body to be parallel to the ground as he thrust into her wet twat. Her gasps and screams as he fucked her in front of everyone for minutes gave him as much pleasure as her convulsing pussy. Her large breasts swung about in the open air, glistening wet from the exertion of the intense sex she had gone through so far as those beautiful tits flung the droplets into the air. One of the nearby orcs that had been watching and jerking himself off had enough waiting and walked up to them. He saluted Gondir and upon receiving a nod, the orc yanked Tanna's head up by her hair. The elf gasped but only barely as the orc rammed his big green cock into her mouth. Tanna almost bit down as she felt the dirty thick cock fill her mouth. Her lips stretched over its wide girth as she resignedly sucked on it as best she could in hopes the orc wouldn't be too rough. The orc grabbed her by her pointy ears and began to thrust his hips back and forth, pushing that thick cock down her throat slightly and making her gag. "MHM! MHMM!!! MHMMMM!!!!" was all could be heard of her muffled screams as everyone watched the beautiful elf suspended in midair skewered by two giant orc cocks on both ends. Her breasts hung below her and swayed heavily back and forth with the increasing tempo of the orcs. Her body twisted as it caved in and started in a long chain of orgasms that soon fell in a steady waterfall of cum from her pussy to the ground. Both orcs grunted after almost a half hour of sexually abusing the elf before cumming. Her pussy was too small to accommodate so much jizm that it sprayed out of her cunt as Gondir released himself into her. The other orc pulled out and sprayed her face with splash after splash of vile orcish cum. Tanna gasped when she was dropped roughly to the ground. Looking up through cum dripping tendrils of blonde hair, she saw other orcs approaching. Soon the beautiful elf was complying and fucking all of the orcs, screaming and cumming herself throughout the lengthy ordeal. She had sex with every one of them and when finished, they took what they saw as the ultimate revenge on the orcs' hated race. Tanna sat there as they relieved themselves on her, spraying her face and tits with their piss until she was spluttering and soaked in the shower of golden liquid from all of them. She could only hold in her tears as she rubbed the piss all about her wet body like a slut to please them. Her entire body was glistening wet from the amount of liquid washing the cum off her naked body as her breasts, blonde hair, face and rest of her beautiful body became completely soaked. When they were done with her, they tossed her to the other shackled elves. Tanna felt herself cradled in arms and looked up to Alon and Sadron. They would live for now for what she had endured and would endure further. She turned her face into their arms and chests for comfort, hoping and praying help would come along to save her and her young men before it was too late. ******************** "Welcome! Welcome!" Fathi cried out in a jubilant manner as if welcoming long lost friends back to the hearth for ale and warmth. Blaze would sooner have gone to the welcoming embrace of a snake pit than by the look of this fellow. Fathi was a fat little man with dark skin clothed in fine silk all about his body. He had at least one ring on every finger. But just the look of the man made Blaze feel soiled and in dire need of a bath. The man's black hair was oily and combed back. His teeth were an ugly brown and yellow as he smiled brightly to all of them. Even if he hadn't known who he was, Blaze still wouldn't have trusted Fathi at first site. "A rat dressed in finery is still nothing more than a rat," Rae whispered softly to Nadine behind him. The catwoman couldn't help but giggle a little at that. "Please have a seat," Fathi gestured to the low table at which he stood at the head of. They all moved calmly to the cushions at which to sit, all five of them coiled like springs though ready to burst into action. Blaze sat at the cushion to Fathi's left with Kendra at his side and Nadine by her. The genie sat at Fathi's right with Tyra beside her and Rae at the gargoyle's side. Blaze couldn't help but notice as he sat down the growing nervous tension within Fathi. He had heard of the group of unusual people having come to his town, but not as unusual as he saw now. The demoness spread her wings slightly to a more comfortable position as she sat, a show that hadn't failed to catch Fathi's eye. The man's eye actually twitched and his skin paled slightly. Glancing to his lover out of the corner of his eye, he could just make out those lush vanilla lips curve upward slightly in a wicked smirk. The evil succubus had had the effect she desired. Inwardly, the young warrior groaned though. He knew this man's type as Fathi was a greasy rat true enough. Any sign of trouble, he would squeal and run away while those he paid good money to accomplished his dirty work for him. Fathi clapped his hands sharply and on cue servants stepped quickly through the door bearing plates of ripe fruits and succulent meats of some kind dripping lavishly in rich sauces. Fine silver goblets encrusted with jewels were brought out and filled with a dark red wine from two bottles. For Blaze, it was an enticingly attractive meal by appearance. But the image of the starving orphaned children they'd been told about was the only thing he could see when he looked at the food. It made him feel ill. While the table was set, they all made the simple introductions of themselves as if this were a polite dinner between strangers that were soon to be friends. For their part, Blaze and his companions merely said their names and titles if they claimed one. "So what brings you to my humble town my dear friends? It is so rare that we have visitors in our little paradise in the middle of this vast desert," Fathi asked before ripping off the meaty leg of some kind of fowl and bit hungrily into the large juicy leg in grotesque manner that made Blaze queasy to his stomach. "We were unfortunately shipwrecked off the coast a good ways from here and we are simply trying to find our way home," Blaze said. It wasn't a lie, but very vague in detail because he didn't want to reveal much. One never knew how far Koas's reach extended or what rewards she had offered for their deaths. "I am very sorry to hear of your misfortunes my friend. I am however grateful that Visralar's grace has seen you through the desert safely to our home on your journey," the Imar said with the utmost sincerity in tone, fake as it was. "It can be the most vicious of environments that test to limits of endurance. Most of our men often go out into the wilderness as a test of faith. Many never come back." Blaze's gaze glimpsed Kendra's knuckles whitening as she clenched her fists furiously beneath the table's edge. The succubus bit her lip in barely controlled rage as she looked to be in deep desire to make Fathi's head explode with her fist. She looked impatient about waiting for the chance. He didn't fully understand the depth of her rage. He knew part of it was linked to Hakim's suffering, but there was more to this rage. It was a rage that was very old and had done anything but grown cold. In so many ways, Kendra was still a mystery to him. His left hand reached over to gently cover her hand reassuringly. Her emerald eyes looked to his and softened considerably as warmth filled them. Her fist opened and turned over to gently as their fingers intertwined together in a loving hold. For that moment alone, all he could think about was her and how his love, seemingly unthinkable that it was possible knowing how strong it was already, grew for her every day. Still holding her hand, Blaze looked back to Fathi whom had been intimately discussing with Rae and Tyra how he came to be Imar of this town. How he had received a divine vision from Visralar and had been commanded to recruit believers and rout out the false preachers of the holy word. "...and so many in the town came to accept my words over time and proclaimed that I should be the Imar. Of course, this was all in Visralar's plan as he had told me. I am to be his prophet and lead his people into a prosperous age guided by his nobility, kindness, and justice," Fathi said with a grin. Blaze half-expected to see a forked tongue to dance out between those teeth. "Yes, we caught a glimpse of this kindness and justice as we came into your town today," Nadine chimed in, a low throaty growl barely restrained in the catwoman's voice. She looked down to her paws and the small click of one of her claws coming out was barely heard. "You did? So I heard! A thief had been caught trying to steal from one of our most devoted follower's food stand. I am sorry that the punishment may have seemed severe to your eyes, but it is the law of justice according Visralar," the Imar said casually as he popped a few olives into his mouth as if were nothing serious. "Nothing like justice in cutting off a boy's hand is there?" Blaze said through gritted teeth. It was now Kendra's turn to squeeze his hand comfortingly to calm his growing rage. By looking at the others, they seemed ready as well to be done with it and kill him. But the Janni sat there like a wall between them and Fathi with just her mere presence. "I'm sorry, I don't quite follow what you are trying to say," Fathi said with a half-smile. "Oh, our group is one that is quite committed to a just and worthy lifestyle," Tyra laughed heartily to break the tension before it even formed. "But please do tell me who this beautiful woman is beside me? I don't believe we were introduced to her as we sat down and exchanged names." Distracted by the gargoyle, Fathi was soon all cheerful again as he nodded. "Ah yes, this is Kanu. My gift from Visralar. She is my guardian and provider. Through her many blessings, I and my followers have been protected against the evil desires of the non-believers." "That is truly remarkable," Tyra smiled slightly as she turned to her side and gave Kanu a genuine smile. "You sound like a very special person and must be very powerful as a god's gift." The janni's blue depth's blinked a few times as Tyra's smile disarmed her for the moment. Kanu glanced sideways to her master to see his small nod of approval to speak. "I do have gifted abilities, but there are a few things that I... am not permitted to do according to Visralar's will. Such as take a life or force another person against their will." "Very noble commands from a noble god," Blaze smiled a little as Fathi beamed at his words of false praise. Blaze hadn't missed the meaning of her words before the slight, barely noticeable correction. Kanu had meant she wasn't allowed to use her powers to kill and manipulate others due to her own code. Kendra had said before the Janni had killed demons before. But if the Janni were a race aligned more to the side of good, those killings were more than likely a justified action to ensure their freedom. Especially if demons were after them. Almost sighing in relief at the revelation Fathi couldn't order the female genie to kill them, he instead smiled as he pursued his next line of thought. "It must be a high honor for you then to serve the prophet of your god, Kanu." Kanu's eyes glanced up from her plate in surprise at his comment to meet his eyes for a brief moment before glancing down and away. "Yes, it most certainly is..." Her quiet tone and diverting of her gaze from his confirmed his suspicions and all he needed to know. It was a lie. She was a slave to Fathi, whom somehow had been fortunate enough to capture and bind her to his will. As Fathi nodded for her to be quiet now, Blaze could only now figure they go ahead with their plan to take care of this snake. "Come, come!" Fathi cried jubilantly as he clapped his hands sharply twice, "servants please leave us to enjoy our meal in peace." The few men and women who had brought out the delicacies and been waiting for any requests bowed deeply to him before quietly filing out the door. As the greasy little man had his attention watching them go, Blaze noticed Kendra take a quick sip of the wine and putting the goblet back down upon the table. Fathi's eyes returned to them soon after the last servant had left the room. If Blaze didn't know any better, he would have sworn the man's fake smile grew all the more malevolent. "Please, let us cease talk for now and enjoy or meal. You all haven't had a bite to eat or a drink yet as we've busied ourselves talking. We can relax later and discuss further matters then. Drink to your heart's content my dear friends!" "Ah yes, drink a most delicious wine," Kendra smiled coldly as her eyes turned to Fathi. "And then relax forever, as you would wish correct?" Fathi's smile turned upside instantly as he saw the dangerous look in those emerald eyes. No matter how those corners of his lips tried to quirk into a smile, they simply couldn't. "Whatever do you mean?" "I mean that you want us so relaxed that we would be dead," she chuckled as she picked up the goblet she had taken a sip from moments before. "You've poisoned our drinks, little man." Blazing Glory Ch. 12 This is a work of my own creation and, being so, is a parody of many races of fantasy that have been created over the past century.

Chapter 12 -- Fields of Anarchy The hawk's scream pierced the air as it soared high on the air currents in the sky. The sound would have been audible to any living thing on the ground. However, it was not above the chaos on the surface for miles around. From its vantage it could see two massive armies crushing into one another in a bloodbath that would have turn the most bloodthirsty ill. Despite there being many different humanoid creatures in both armies one could easily tell each apart. One army was distinctly more organized than the other in its formation. Even amidst the turmoil of the front line, they maintained rank and order as they fought ferociously for their lives. The other army by comparison was simply an oncoming horde of monsters. They charged mindlessly towards their enemy in an attempt to overwhelm and crush. Gradually they were succeeding. The more orderly army was giving ground slowly and grudgingly with its back to the Sonel Sea not far away in the east. The massive army simply hammered upon the smaller repeatedly in its effort to whittle them down to nothing. Among the grunts of effort and screams of agony an odd sound could occasionally be heard above the anarchy. It was a low whistle that was often followed by sharp metal clash or thud of a meaty impact. Grunts and cries shortly came after those sounds. Another low whistle sounded and a goblin screamed as it was thrown into the air only to be skewered on a raised spear a good distance away. The low whistle announced itself to the world once more. This time a massive orc grunted and crumpled down to the ground quickly, its helmet half caved in with blood pouring out. Even though the surge of the army continued on against the other army around them, the numerous orcs and goblins surged backwards from the onslaught of this sound to form a ring. In the middle of the temporary clearing a low figure crouched with the source of the sound. Glancing about, the supple figure rose slowly and whipped the metal staff about it so quickly it became an almost invisible blur. The low whistle sounded against as it sliced through the air before terminating as the figure slammed one end into the ground. "C'mon boys," a rich sensual voiced purred softly, "don't tell me that is all you have now?" Ridiculously in such a dangerous environment, the female lycan confidently leaned against her staff nonchalantly. Her free hand moved up to brush long black bangs from her golden eyes to observe the situation she was in. The orcs and goblins around her gazed hungrily in return. Some hungered simply for her blood as they had watched her drop many of their comrades with ease. Others gazed hungrily at her body in a lustful desire to possess it. The lycan's figure was a luscious sight to behold with full firm breasts that bounced only slightly with her movements. Her supple hips and heart shaped ass a sight to behold that often distracted the focus of her opponents all too easily. She was a catwoman whose long midnight black hair was waist length and swayed behind her in a loose ponytail. Much like a cat, a white underbody fur traveled from her groin to cover a significant portion of her front torso to frame an elegant face of beauty. But unlike most cat lycans, this one had tiger stripes across her body everywhere else. Dark black stripes over fur that was red. Blood red. But not from the damage she had inflicted as one would think. "And I was looking forward to having such a good time today," Kali Teigra sighed mockingly with a flourish of her hand. "You boys are so disappointing..." A goblin to her right rear appeared to have had enough as it screamed with its short sword raised and charged. "You damn bitch! I swear I am going to skin your hide for a trophy after I kill you and skull fuck your corpse for a week!" "Ah! Finally someone with some balls to fight!" Kali grinned as she spun about to face him. Her staff spun with her and arced upward to rise in time perfectly to smash into the goblins groin. The goblin's angered war cry instantly turned into a high pitched squeal as it was lifted up into the air and sent backwards out of sight behind the circle. "Well... At least had some balls until that," she hummed impishly with an innocent look, tail swaying about. The orcs and goblins growled angrily at her indifferent arrogance. Raising their weapons they readied to charge her all at once again, determined to cut her into bloody bits. "Now that's more like it," she purred softly and dropped into a ready crouch. Right as the first orc took the first step towards her, jaws filled with sharp fangs snapped closed around its head before the gatorman twisted its head. The orc's neck twisted with it until a sickening snap was heard. So preoccupied with her, they had failed to noticed a lycan surge moving towards them until it was too late. "Awww," Kali moaned with a small pout as the lycan surge crashed through the line and past her. A goblin to her right screamed as a behemoth lionman raised it up in the air before ripping it in half with nothing other than strength alone. At the sight of Dio, Kali's shoulders slumped while he stomped up to her. "Kali! What are you thinking!? Did you forget what we talked about?" The lionman asked in exasperation. He waved his arms about before letting them fall limply to his side, "I can't protect you if you charge wildly into danger like this." With the lionman and leader of the lycan regiment towering above her, Kali couldn't meet his eyes even though she could have. Averting her gaze to the lycans streaming past the two of them to push the enemy line further back, she clenched her staff tightly. "I told you already I don't need any special protection!" "Heavens Kali! If I let you die out here, it would be me that would need the protection from your mother! That tigerwoman would tear me to bits!" He sighed as he peered over her quickly to assess their position and that of the enemy. Kali leaned more heavily against the staff, not arguing the point that he was right about her mother. She had after all followed the army out of their main village. After being discovered a week later, she managed to convince Dio to let her stay with them. It still surprised her that she had managed to, but she never pressed any more why Dio quickly gave in to her. "Look, the line is folding and falling back," he sighed. "This time stay with me and do not charge recklessly into the enemy line again by yourself. I don't think my heart could take another shock like that again." Knowing better to argue with him this time, Kali simply nodded and whipped her staff about to ready herself as the orcs and goblins once again came at them. For a brief moment, she found herself thinking of her big sister and whispering softly to herself as she raised her staff to the onslaught coming once again. "Times like this I miss having you around Nadine..." ******************** With a sigh, Kali drew up to a halt and rested her hand on her cocked hip. She had arrived a little later than she wanted to and was now forced to wait in line for tonight's rationing of food. The day had been a long hard one after Dio had caught up to her. She had followed his orders and stuck by his side the entire time. He never ceased to amaze her in the simple yet brutal efficiency in which he killed on the battlefield. A raised paw caught her eye and she saw Dio waving to her with a smile. She couldn't help but feel warmed by the gesture and return it in kind before he turned away to head off to the meeting with Queen Roselei of the elves. Night had fallen across the armies and neither had an interest in continuing to fight in the dark with such numbers on both sides. Kali knew their side was killing the invading horde by the thousands but it hardly seemed to make a dent in their numbers that just kept coming. Meanwhile their side continued to lose many that they could ill afford to. It was getting bleaker with every passing day as they were pushed further east. Lost in thought so much about the day's battle, she just then noticed the uncomfortable glances her way and the spacing of others who tried get away from her without her noticing. But she always noticed because they did it every time she came around. Rolling her eyes and sighing with impatience, the catwoman glanced around in hopes the food line would hurry it up. "Well, well, WELL!" a male voice spoke from a few feet behind her, "I came here looking for food but did not expect my hunger to turn for some pussy.... cat" A shiver of revulsion ran down her spine before she turned to give a cold glare at whom she saw now was a sneering jackalman moseying up to her. "Careful now friend," someone else chimed in a low voice behind them, voice tinged with both revulsion and fear. "That's the Hellcat you're dealing with there. She'll come to you in the middle of the night to drain you of your soul if you cross her." "Or drain your blood for sacrifice to the demons and bathe in whatever is left!" whispered another in a trembling voice. Kali lowered her gaze slightly as she moved forward slowly with the line. Much as she tried to ignore their words and show no effect from them, those words stung like a hot barb to her soul. Her hand tightened into a clenched fist as she resolved herself to get her food and be away from them quickly if they desired it so much. "Bah!" The jackalman dismissed their words with a harsh barking laugh. "You fools! Demonspawn she may be, but you cannot ignore such an exquisite figure. Such a fine piece of ass to have a nice fucking with and you all would give it up because of rumors!" Her fur bristled on her neck with indignation at his comments that she was just an object for pleasure and nothing more. Her fist tightened painfully at her side as she tried to keep her temper in check. She was about ready to turn her head and snap a comment towards him at least when her blood went as cold as ice. Strong arms circled about her body from behind with his hands sliding about her fur covered torso. One hand moved up to cup her large breast in a squeezing fondle before his fingers pinched her nipple painfully. His other hand slid down her toned belly towards the destination of his filthy desires. "Come now, love," He whispered huskily into her right ear. "All I'm asking is for a little fun that you want to have too, right? Let's go for romp in my tent. There you can howl and scream like a banshee all you want. Let the entire lycan army hear the filthy, slutty whore you really are!" CRACK! Kali gasped as she staggered forward to recover herself. Her vision had gone to hot white in an instant as her body had seized up. The back of her right hand stung so much in pain as she looked down to it in shock. Groggily coming out of her daze, she then heard the howls of agony behind her. Turning slowly, she could see out of the corner of her eye the jackalman rolling about on the ground clutching at a bloody, broken muzzle as others tried to get to him in order to help. Without moving, her eyes glanced about to see the line scattered and everyone backing away from her. Swallowing back the tears from the pain in her hand and the indignation of suffering this, she simply marched past the others to the large cauldron. Grabbing a bowl quickly, she ladled stew into it swiftly and quietly made her way out of their presence. She could feel all of their eyes burning into her back. Sitting down at the small campfire she had left by her tent, Kali nearly broke into tears but fought it back fiercely. She wouldn't cry. She simply refused to! She had endured their fear, their hatred, their contempt all her life and she wouldn't give in now of all times. It wasn't outside the norm for lycans of different animal types to have mixed children through their unions. The lycan race was not so much purists when it came to that. The children of such unions often exhibited physical characteristics dominantly of one of the parents with a select few of the traits from the other. Her father was a black-furred catman and her mother a tigerwoman. Nadine and Kali naturally had the body of a catwoman but the select trait of the tiger striping. Nadine was a bit unusual in that her fur was black and stripes orange, opposite of a tiger's true coloring. But she was able to quickly get others used to that with her cheerful attitude to win them over. But not Kali. Her stripes were black just fine. Yet her fur coloring was not orange, but a blood red instead. She always remembered as a little girl the whispers around the corners about how it wasn't natural given both her parents' physical traits. Spawn of the netherworld gods they whispered about her. Her mother whoring herself to demons others surmised in quiet. She still heard them and when she asked her mother about what they meant, she never forgot what happened afterward. Her mother's eyes teared up and such a look of sadness overcame the fierce, proud tigerwoman. Her mother knelt down before her and embraced her tightly. Those arms trembled slightly as her mother whispered those words into her ear. "Never let those words into your heart. Never let them win. Never let them see you cry. You are more beautiful than they will ever know. Take their hatred and fear. Feed on it for your strength. Use that strength to silence their words with awe... Show them how special and incredible you are..." Kali blinked as a tear rolled down her cheek at remembering her mother's words. She wiped her cheek and looked up at the stars as those remaining words echoed in her mind. "As I know you are, my little one..." ******************** Dio growled to himself in frustration as he looked out across the battlefield. That was if he could see the battlefield! A bank of dense sea fog had rolled in from the sea behind them with the land breeze overnight. Hence the source of his growing ire at being unable to gauge the enemy's distance. Raising his nose to the air and sniffing slightly, he could smell their coming stench of unwashed orc and goblin bodies above the salty tinge. The lionman stood just out ahead of the line of lycans behind him in consideration of this weather in the early morning. Just maybe they would have an advantage if this fog held on through the day. He recalled the heated meeting the evening prior in the elven queen's tent. The dwarven and elven general were angrily arguing over the best course of action. The elf wanted to continue trying to press an attack with various strategies from his decorated past in conflicts. The dwarf and his men had been decimated in the underworld and knew firsthand the depth of the forces they faced. The well-muscled short man argued for a gradual retreat until the promised reinforcements from the human armies would arrive to press back. Dio had simply shook his head and remained silent. Both were wrong in their desperation. No attack was going to work against the massive army out there. They were barely holding off being overrun each day as it was. The army was so large and covering an expanse of land that no retreat was possible. Their backs were to the sea with no escape. Dio preferred it that way. With one's own life on the line and being backed up against the wall, desperation turned into savagery that gave the men strength to tear into the enemy in their desire to live. After arguing themselves breathless, Queen Roselei interjected that their best hope was to hold out as best they could where they were until the reinforcements came. Dio nodded his agreement before the other men grudgingly did as well. The situation still looked bleak for the next few days, if they were lucky enough to have such time left. Peering out into the fog with a sigh, he wished more than ever that Kali were not here. How could have refused her? She had followed them without notice for too long before being discovered in order to send her back. Truth be told, the old lionman was soft at heart when it came to the catwoman. His life mate and child had died in birthing so long ago. His life felt so wretched and worthless afterwards. Then he met Kali. Her fierce defiant eyes dared him to judge her at such a young age. He accepted her when most of the rest would not and had come to think of her as he would his own cub. She'd brought the light back into his life. Now, after arguing with him for an entire night until he caved, she was here in the army he commanded. The thought of losing her terrified him more than losing his own life. It made his hackles rise in growing fury in response. The dull ominous horns of the enemy sounded from a distance in the fog signaling the advance upon them had begun. Dio reared back his head and let his lion's roar shatter the morning fog in challenge. Animal sounds of fury filled the air soon after from his men behind and the horns from the elves and dwarves sounded their charge. Leaning forward, his great paws launched him forward into the fog as his claws clicked and sprang free in their hunger for blood. Through the wisps and breaks in the thick fog he charged through, a flash of red to his right caught his attention. No one should be out ahead of him already so swiftly! His heart dropped as he caught a glint of metal. No... Growling as he started running harder, he could only think of how that catwoman was going to make him go gray in the mane before his time! ******************** The air screamed past her ears and whipped into her vision. Fog flew past her in breaks yet it seemed so surreal in it that visually looked like she was not going as fast as she thought. But Kali knew better by the rapid pounding of her feet and bent over low in a full headlong sprint. The catwoman remained silent and grimly focused as she sped out ahead of her fellow lycans. She would show them all her worth! Today she would decimate the enemy so much that they would never forget her! A break in the fog caught her attention from her thoughts, allowing her to see ahead at least fifty yards. At the same moment she broke out of the fog, her golden eyes locked onto a line of massive orcs and smaller goblins doing the same from the opposite end. Seeing her, they immediately lowered spears and pikes to skewer her. A small grin came to her lips as she sprinted even harder towards them. Above the roar of wind and battle cries, she thought she heard her named called but it was too late now. Having had it tucked across her back for balance, Kali now whipped her staff around and slammed it into the hardened dirt ground. Her feet left the ground as she launched herself above the would-be piercing spears. Twisting herself in the air as she pulled her weapon with her, she spun around with it before she crashed into the scattering soldiers behind the front line. "C'mon boys!" she laughed, "Time to dance!" Her arms became fluid as she spun around with her weapon in an upward arc that crushed a goblin's chin and sent it screaming high into the air. Her staff whistled through the air as it came crashing down into an orc's helmet with enough to split both metal and bone. Every movement was executed in her vision clearly as her body moved like liquid quicksilver through the ranks of orcs and goblins in deadly efficiency. Her motions were lightning fast and smooth so much that the enemy ranks did not know what hit them. She tore through them and was gone before they realized what had occurred. This is what she had trained hard for all her life and she was putting her mastery to work. That vicious grin never left her face the entire time. Blazing Glory Ch. 12 Kali had never felt so alive! It felt as if she was finally able to unleash all of her anger and frustration freely without consequence. Bodies dropped before her one after another in an endless tide of blood and crushed bones that she reveled in. The rage and sadness flooded out of her into each killing blow as the whistle of her staff turned into a pitched scream above the battlefield's noise. That and the laughter of one catwoman's joy! "KALI!" roared a familiar voice in the distance above the chaos. Ripped out of her orgasmic bloodlust, the catwoman's eyes glanced in the direction of the call. She couldn't see the source above all of the orcs and goblins around her still charging forward. Kali sprung up into the air and landed upon the helmet of a nearby large orc. Perching there briefly as the stupid hulking orc drew to a halt in confusion, Kali looked to see Dio and the others hundreds of yards away. The lionman was fighting as savagely as she had ever seen him to get to her. Coming into full realization of her predicament at how far she had blazed into the enemy ranks, she noticed eyes spotting her position and making their way towards her. "Oh.... Shit..." Twisting about upon the orc's head to look back the other direction until she heard the surprised grunt and pop of its neck breaking, Kali made her decision. Springing from the falling corpse, Kali hopped with lycan agility from head to head and ran above the teaming mass of soldiers below her towards another dense wall of fog. Her gasps came short and fast as her concentration was landing a foot on each moving head or shoulder and moving onwards with as much balance and speed she could muster. Once she hit the fog bank, she dropped to the ground and sprinted through the rushing soldiers. She heard a few cries of surprise as she darted through bodies, relying upon her keen hearing and instincts. All they would ever see as they passed her was a red flash that was gone the next moment. The catwoman's ear started to wilt with exhaustion as this fast pace began to seriously take its toll. She was incredibly fit, but even she had her limits. Her calves burned in protest to her movements and her lungs rasped for more breath. Kali's golden eyes lit up as she burst out of the fog bank into the mountainside forest she knew would be there from past scouting descriptions. It was one of the strategic evacuation routes should any lycan become separated according to Dio's plans. The army of Koas stayed out of the forest due to its dense mass of trees. The lycan felt right at home now as her second wind kicked in and she darted through the trees and brush along the incline up the mountainside. Sounds of the battle were soon left behind her. By the time she had reached the crest of the mountain, her energy was nearly spent and the day half gone. With one last gasp and spurt of energy, she jumped into a large tree's branches. Hopping from one branch to another until she was in a well concealed area of its foliage, the catwoman collapsed with her back against the trunk. Kali was so exhausted by this point she fell asleep just before her bottom came to rest on the branch she sat on. A sound soon startled her out of the deep slumber she had been in. Rubbing her eyes sleepily and stretching with a large fanged cat yawn, her golden eyes soon gazed upon the half moon and stars filling the night sky. She was amazed she had slept as long as she had. Her body felt sore but rested at least. Both armies were separated by miles with thousands of campfires filling the land below. She knew she had time now to return since both sides were more interested in rest at this point. Rolling from her sitting position into a low crouch, she looked for the source of what had awoken her. The wind stirred slightly before a sudden flash of light below her made her fur stand on end and nearly caused a scream to escape. Rubbing her eyes once more, she looked upon the figures that stood on the crest near her tree. The odd group was gazing at the armies below. Who were these people? Friend or foe? Bright orange hair caught her gaze as it widened in recognition. Nadine! Her lips curled up into a wicked grin, "Well now, this makes things more interesting." ******************** Blaze sighed inwardly in disbelief as he could only stare helplessly at all of the campfires in the valley below. Damn it all to the Abyss! So many emotions ran through him from wanting to scream in frustration to tears of hopelessness at the size of the army of Koas. Glancing towards the coastline, he would have been amazed at the size of that army had he not seen the other one first. His surprise was how it had not been crushed before now. It changed nothing though! They were too late! Koas sending a kraken after them in combination with the chance storm had delayed them long enough to allow her forces to gather and start the war. His fists tightened angrily, but he was angrier with himself for failing Stavros. She must have seen his white knuckles as he soon felt the comforting warmth of Kendra's hand grasp his while she stood silently by his side. The hiss of steel being drawn startled him and the others out of their shock as he turned around to see Rae raising her ring sabers towards the tree near them. His eyes adjusted more to the darkness in time to see a figured shadow drop to the ground and approach them slowly. "Nice hearing you have there, dark elf," chuckled a rich female voice. Blaze's hand slowly lifted towards one of his blades as he felt Kendra let go of his hand. The figure drew closer to reveal golden eyes that seemed familiar to him. "I see that you keep interesting company now, dear sister," the sensual voice purred as if amused while those eyes looked to Nadine. Nadine gasped to his right before stifling a small sob. Sister? Blaze blinked at his friend as her eyes teared up before launching forward to embrace the strange figure. The catwoman's speed never ceased to amaze him in the distance she just covered in that instant. "KALI!" Nadine squealed with delight as she hugged the other so hard that she looked to be crushing the other. By the struggled gasp he heard, he seemed to be right! Blaze's hand relaxed as Rae quietly put away her deadly weapons. "Kali! What are you doing here?" Nadine chirped as she dropped her sister down. Looking back to the others, Nadine grabbed the other's hand and quickly drew her sister closer. "Taking a much needed break from the action down there until all of you appeared in a flash. What I want to know is who they are, what you are doing with them, and where you had disappeared to! You've had us worried sick, Nadine." Blaze blinked as they drew close enough to where he could make out this Kali in the low light. She was different in her fur with black stripes over the dark red fur and a white undercoat. She had waist length black hair done up in a single ponytail. Her body was every bit as curvaceous as Nadine's and voluptuous enough to give Kendra a concern for competition. The Teigra bloodline was one of beauty to be sure! She carried with her what looked to be a metallic version of the wooden bo that his master used to have him practice the martial arts with. What unnerved him a little was the obvious difference most would not pick up on. Nadine was powerful with her sleekness much like a cat. With Kali, however, he could sense a kindred spirit as she was much like him. Beneath that fur was taut firmness in muscles ready to explode into action, much more like a tiger than cat. Before him was a killing machine that even gave him pause. Her confidence in approaching them alone spoke volumes that she knew as much too. "These are my friends! Blaze is a human warrior who saved my life from a human mob. Kendra is a succubus who is also his lover. Tyra is a gargoyle that we came across in the ruins and helped. Rae is the famous assassin Death's Mistress, but don't worry as she is on our side and my best friend," Nadine finished with giggle. Rae snorted slightly with mocked indifference but couldn't quite hide the small smile that it was true. Kali took all of this in with a cool, calculating gaze to each of them before looking back to her sister. "But why are you with them still? Why didn't you come home after this man saved you? Which, by the way, I am grateful to you for," Kali said with a nod to him. Blaze nodded in return as Nadine looked to her sister with severe discomfort. If he didn't know any better, Blaze would say that Nadine had found herself in a position she'd been dreading for a long time now. "B-because.... Blaze... he is," Nadine swallowed deeply, "He's my life mate..." Kali's eyes widened as she looked to Blaze then back to Nadine after hearing this. With the words sinking in, her gaze snapped back to Blaze. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!" BAM! White hot pain exploded through his skull before he felt himself crash to the ground. Dizziness quickly turned to sickly grogginess from the pain. In such quickness that even he couldn't follow Kali had punched him with enough force to nearly shatter his jaw! "How dare you rape my sister! Did you enjoy forcing yourself on her and taking her virginity?! I'll fucking kill you!!!" Screamed the livid lycan. Blaze gasped and spat out a significant amount of blood before looking up. Nadine had placed herself between him and Kali while trying to push her back and talk sense into her sister. Not far off, Rae and Tyra were mightily trying to restrain a furious demoness. By the looks of it they were starting to fail at keeping the succubus's angry strength at bay. "Kendra!" Blaze coughed, "I'm fine. Don't hurt Nadine's sister, please!" Kendra seemed to barely hear those words but the significance of how he said them sank in and she begrudgingly backed down. Blaze looked to Nadine and saw her shake her sister so roughly that she managed to get Kali's attention for the moment. "I gave him my virginity!" Nadine cried, tears rolling from her golden eyes. Kali looked simply stunned at this and all hostility vanished from her body. "Blaze had saved my life from the human mob. Shortly after that he was bewitched by a foxwoman. We went to rescue him and I chased her off. But her spell wouldn't release him so I had to give him something to desire more than her. I willingly made love to him! And I love him with all my heart and soul, Kali! Blaze is a wonderful person! Don't be angry at him! Strike me because I'm to blame!" Nadine broke down into a sobbing mess and Kali stood there for a moment in complete shock before shaking her head out of it and embracing her sister tightly. "I could never hit my sister for any reason. If that is truly how you feel for him, then I am so happy for you to have someone to love so dearly," Kali choked out the words. After a few minutes of taking all of this in, her golden eyes looked to him where he lay with a solemn look. "And I am sorry for reacting so foolishly. Please forgive me." Blaze could only nod through the pain that still threatened to turn his world into black unconsciousness. May the gods have mercy on those that face the wrath of this red furred catwoman. He felt a shadow kneel next to him before looking up into the reassuring eyes of the drowess. Her touch soon followed with the tingling comfort as her magic worked to heal him. Coming back to his senses after a few minutes, he rose and simply walked over to the solemn looking Kali. He smiled warmly to her and extended his hand in acceptance of her apology, "No worries, Kali. I can understand how it must have seemed to you at first. There is much to explain." The warm fur of her hand encased his as they clasped hands and shook. Her golden eyes looked to his with a haunted maturity that surprised him. And she was the younger sister? "I would like to hear what you have to say," Kali said with a reassuring smile. "Follow me back to the camp this way and you can tell me all you have to say in the meantime." Blaze nodded as the others came up to clasp hands with Kali in proper greetings. He held his breath momentarily when Kendra came up to Kali, but the succubus only smiled and joked that she was the only one allowed in the group to kick Blaze's ass if necessary and would do it later if Kali still wished. That drew a cheerful laugh from the catwoman before she drew the surprised demoness into a tight, brief embrace. Kendra blinked but soon smiled and reciprocated the hug. With a wave of her hand, Kali led the group down the mountainside and into the forests in the moonlit darkness while she listened to Blaze recount everything that had happened. ******************** Dio sat inside Queen Roselei's tent as high ranking officers from each army reported injuries and losses sustained during the day long battle. It was late at night and it would not be long before many would try to get some measure of rest. The tired lionman tried to ignore the reports lest he hear the one report he did not dare imagine. His heart was torn into pieces after seeing Kali charge into that enemy line and disappear from his sight. He had not seen her since despite how hard he fought to get to her position. Strategies were discussed and the lycan general remained silent throughout. He noticed Roselei's concerned glances his way but she did not press him for what troubled him. He was deeply grateful for that because he feared he could not summon the words had she decided to ask. "Move aside! Queen Roselei and the generals must see to this matter!" a powerful voice hissed. All eyes snapped to the entrance of the command tent and words fell silent as the flap was thrown aside. Dio's eyes narrowed as the gatorman Kaiman, one of his trusted lieutenants, ducked through the opening. The lionman did not grow angry for Kaiman was intelligent and would not interrupt without good reason. Kneeling before them and dropping his snout in utmost respect, he waited for Dio's acknowledging growl to speak. "Guests have arrived within the camp and desired strongly to meet with the Queen," Kaiman hissed as he looked up and gestured with an arm behind him to the entrance. "They came escorted by one of our own who vets for them." "There are no such things as 'guests' in a war zone! And you just led them here to potentially assassinate Her Majesty," cried the elven general in indignation, moving to begin drawing his sword. Dio raised his hand to the elf to stop, "Kaiman is of keen mind and would not do such a foolish thing. I trust his judgment. If the Queen allows..." Roselei rested her chin upon her hand with keen interest and nodded in permission for the audience. Upon seeing her reaction, Kaiman snapped his fingers loudly to the entrance to signal these guests to enter. The first figure to enter stopped his heart. Kali! The catwoman saw the shocked lionman sitting there and he could see her wince from the already imagined scolding. A shock of bright orange hair drew his gaze from the sheepish catwoman and he knew his mane had to have gone shock white as Nadine stepped in behind her sister. By the gods, where had she been and how was she here of all places? He sat there stunned as the most unusual group of a cloaked drowess, a human male, a powerful looking gargoyle woman, and a beautiful woman with bat wings followed them in. "Blaze!" Roselei instantly cried with joy and rose to move forward with swiftness to embrace the human male, startling all the attendants and generals present. "Before you all make an old beast die before his time by shocking him to death," Dio's voice rumbled through the tent, "Can you please explain by the gods who these people are and what this is all about?" Roselei blinked and blushed slightly as an embarrassed Blaze stepped back out of her hug as she let go. The Queen of the Elves smiled as she moved back to sit in her chair. "General Dio, I give you the group that battled to save my city from the initial hellhound invasion. What I do not understand is why you are all here. You were heading to prevent this war by order of Stavros. This was to be accomplished by destroying the generals of Koas to sow seeds of doubt and fear in her army by weakening her image." Dio blinked as he listened to all of this before looking back to the human that cleared his throat. "We were, Your Majesty. Koas sent a kraken after us that damaged the ship we were on and a freak storm shortly after shipwrecked us far off our intended course." Roselei looked to him with understanding before sighing in disappointment, "I should not be surprised that the evil goddess could have foreseen this. I am glad that you all have survived." Blaze looked back to the others in his company who gave him a silent nod of approval to proceed. Dio sat there impressed that this young man could lead a diverse group with such confidence from them even in silent communication. "With your permission," Blaze looked back to the generals and Queen Roselei, "We would like to make amends for our failure and join your forces to fight with the best of our abilities." "No." Everyone in the room blinked at the swiftness of the answer that carried the tone of authority with it. All eyes could only stare at Queen Roselei who had dismissed his request without any hesitation. Blaze most of all looked like a man who was told he could do nothing, was without honor, and had nothing left to live for. "You will not fight," Roselei said with measured words to make sure her points came across clear, "Because we cannot afford to lose any of you in the mindless fields of battle. You have not failed in your mission. All reports show no visual identification of Koas or her four generals' presence. You are to continue from here to hunt them down and kill them. If Koas is using them as couriers of her guidance, their deaths and cutting of ties will destroy the confidence they have and create the panic of her lost support. We'll do our best to continue the fight here." Dio glanced sideways in silence to the human boy and noticed his hands trembling in clenched fists of frustration. The look of desperation in his eyes was one that Dio knew all too well as a warrior. The boy still felt responsible for the lives lost because the war had already started and wished to make amends honorably. Dio could respect that but knew that the fields of war would not be kind to one clearly as innocent as this human. "Rest tonight and tomorrow to prepare," the lionman rumbled, grabbing Blaze's attention before he said anything rash. "Think it over and discuss it with your comrades and you will come to see the merit in what Queen Roselei has said." Those fierce determined eyes of the human stared back unblinking for a few moments as he considered Dio's words. The lionman could no longer find himself thinking of this boy as just that. Most men cowered before lionmen and here this warrior stared straight at him without a blink or look of fear. This was a boy no longer, but becoming a man in these harsh times. The demoness stepped up behind Blaze and rested a hand upon his shoulder. Dio noted they shared a look filled with the familiarity of love he so missed from his life mate. Nodding in acquiesce, Blaze and the others bowed to the Queen before turning away to exit the tent. "We are in good hands with that one on our side," Dio muttered to himself softly as the flap closed after them. ******************** Blaze sighed softly to himself as he came to a slow walk after exiting the command tent. All of this was so frustrating because he wanted to fight to make amends. Damned the Abyss, if only they hadn't wrecked in a far off wilderness! That delay cost them so much time and cost these people around him so much more. "Easy Blaze," Kendra hummed softly as she took his hand with hers. Her emerald eyes gazed into his and to the depths of his soul. She gave him an assuring smile with those soft vanilla lips, "We'll make things right before this all ends. Let it go and let us rest." Blazing Glory Ch. 12 With a soft squeeze, she let his hand go and followed the others as Kaiman took them to a nearby tent to rest in the elven encampment of the army. Blaze stopped in his steps and watched the beautiful succubus go. She was such a blessing in his life. Yet he still did not know much about her past. Regardless, he loved her without end. He glanced back to observe the massive lionman he had seen within the tent standing just outside it with Kali in front of him. The catwoman's head was downcast and ears wilted as if she knew she was in trouble and in it deep. Blaze simply watched in amazement as the lionman did not strike her in punishment but swept the smaller lycan up into a tight embrace. Kali looked just as shocked before her lower lip trembled slightly with her arms returning the hug. The few exchanged a few quiet words before going their separate ways. Blaze blinked and quickly turned away as Kali began to walk his way while wiping her eyes a bit. Much to his aggravation, this only returned his thoughts back to their situation at hand. How were they supposed to get around the massive force of Koas out there and find those generals of hers? "Blaze," Kali spoke right behind him, startling him so much he yelped out loud in surprise. The catwoman chuckled softly before crooking her finger at him to follow her. In her other hand was two long wooden staves, much like the metal one she had carried with her when they first met. "Come follow me and indulge me for a few, alright?" "Um sure," Blaze replied, clearly uncomfortable as he didn't know what this was about. The catwoman gazed at him with knowing golden eyes and winked before turning about. As she walked away, Blaze followed her. They passed numerous tents and campfires until his legs began to ache. This army was incredibly large. The thought that the enemy's force was so much bigger really drove home the fear and tension he was getting from the surrounding people he passed. Before long, they passed the line of tents into the open grass fields and lines of night sentries on guard soon after. He half expected them to challenge them as to why they were leaving, but nothing was said. The late night darkness soon enveloped him with the tall grasses only lit by the moonlight as they continued further east towards the sea. "Where are we going?" Blaze finally asked as his curiosity was starting to drive him crazy. "Nowhere in particular," Kali purred in amusement as she glanced back to him with that same smile. "In fact, here should be well enough far away without alarming the sentries." He was about to ask what could alarm them on the opposite side of the alliance's forces when Kali spun about and tossed one of the staves right at him. Blaze gasped and caught the wooden pole without fumbling it too much. "What in the name of Stavros are you doing?" He was in shock as the catwoman dropped into an aggressive stance with her weapon. "Dio said you would have a lot of built up tension within yourself after that meeting and said I should help you work that out of your system," Kali replied matter-of-factly. "Are you really serious about this?" Blaze asked, still in disbelief this was happening. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you.." CRACK!!! Blaze's breath left his lungs in a rush as his knees buckled under the pressure. He had barely raised his staff in time to block her strike. She had moved so damn fast! The catwoman leaned forward close enough that he could feel her breathe while her lips curling into a sly smile, "At least not much." The pressure on his raised staff disappeared, raising his alarm instantly. Her staff was nowhere to be seen in that flash of an instant and only the whisper of air as it screamed through its motion to his left side alerted him to block there. He did just in time! The force knocked him sideways from her powerful muscles. A flash of red in his vision to his right caused him to bring his staff around to his lower right to catch her staff before it caught his right leg. Dear gods. She was better! For the first time in a long time, true panic in the face of a clearly superior opponent gripped him. In all the tough battles he had been in, he could always have felt some small part of him tell him he could win. This time there was no such feeling as desperation told him he was going to be beaten. I will not give up, he reminded himself. This was not a life or death battle, but he still chose to take the same approach. If he lost, at least he could take it with the knowledge that he gave it his all. Kali was breathless with the excitement that she always felt when she was in the heat of battle, that smile never leaving her lips. She attacked him without letting up as she just kept herself under killing strength. She wanted to test this Blaze for all he was worth to see if he lived up to the hype of the tales her sister had told her on the journey back to camp. So far the human had only been able to block her strikes with impressive reaction speed. Most would have already been bloodied and unconscious on the ground. Still. She wanted him to attack! "Come on!" Kali laughed with relish in the blood rush as she danced backwards for a moment, twirling her staff about, "Falling back isn't all you can do is it? Show me what you've got!" Her golden eyes saw the panic that had filled those eyes of his diminish with the spark of anger and determination. For the first time in this encounter she felt a sense of hesitation in attacking him and it thrilled her even further. Finally! A worthy opponent! Her lips spread into a feral smile that revealed her fangs. "Let's DANCE!" she laughed with absolute pleasure. Both warriors immediately exploded into action at the very same moment. Staves crashed harshly into each other with finger-numbing impacts. The moonlight lit the two shadowy figures moving rapidly about through the tall grass. Their motions were swift as their weapons spun about to become blurs and filled the air in rapid succession of cracks in the middle of the night. Blaze breathed heavily through the exertion as his muscles screamed from the demand he was putting them through. She was the superior warrior with the staff but he refused to back down now. His fury was boiling over in the determination to win. His body was being pushed to new limits to rise to the challenge. Through the heat of the battle and exertion, he could not ignore her sensual laughter filling the air. Her smile was one of sheer ecstasy and her eyes wide with the feral look of bloodlust that borderlines madness. He was dealing with a lycan that more than hungered for battle, she completely lived for it. Kali laughed in a near scream of pleasure as she fought with Blaze. No longer was he simply defending himself. The human was actually countering her moves with attacks of his own that often had her go on the defensive momentarily before she could counter herself. She had thought she had been alive when she had rushed the enemy line earlier today. She had been wrong! This was the rush she had been searching for in finding someone that could go toe-to-toe with her with all her speed and strength. His speed, strength, and furious eyes both terrified and thrilled her. Blaze was truly amazing after all! Yet one thing was picking at her subconscious more and more as the intense spar battle progressed. These motions of his seemed to be familiar. The more she observed his motions and countered with her own, she realized she almost used the same technique of handling the staff. The way he swung the staff around and thrust forward with his foot planted properly at the correct angle. His countering thrust to her stomach as he sidestepped her overhead swing followed by a swift upward jab to her chin. He had been rusty at first but looked like he was coming into his own as the fight went on. This style.... This style.... Kali's golden eyes went wide with the recognition. Impossible! It was him..... Blaze grunted as Kali deflected his last attack with enough power to send his staff flying out of his hand. Her staff whipped around to take his feet out from underneath. His fall was cushioned by the tall grass and he blinked as the end of the staff was stopped right above his nose. He had lost. But at least he had given it his all rather than backing down and was satisfied with that. Half expecting a confident comment from the catwoman, he looked up to her and stared. Kali stared down at him in return with wide open eyes. Her expression looked as if she had seen a ghost. When she spoke, he barely heard what she whispered. "Richard..." ******************** Kali's mind flashed back to that day when she was nine years of age and had first been beaten by a group of lycan children. She had to limp home bloodied and hurt. Her mother had treated her wounds but could do nothing more than physical healing. The wounds to her heart and soul had been harsh to where she had resolved herself to run away. That next day she left saying she was going to pick berries, but that was a lie. She went further, much further than ever before. Kali was determined to never return. It was about midday when she happened upon them. Her ears picked up the voices nearby that drove her heart into her throat and she darted behind a tree. A small young cry filled the air that sent chills down her spine. Her father's silly saying about cats and curiosity came to mind, but she found herself wanting to see what was going on. Dashing from tree to tree, she drew close enough to peek around the corner. Her golden eyes opened wide. A small human boy sat in a small clearing in the forest rubbing his head. His lips pouted in a cute way that made her giggle slightly. Standing over him was an older man, grizzled and worn with the look of a warrior much like Dio. "Richard, how many times must I tell you to think ahead of your opponent when using this weapon? You are only focusing on the single motion I am making. You must think a step ahead of your attack to follow through and even another step ahead of that." "But I'm no good with these. I much prefer swords like you have mastered," whined Richard. "Yes, I am best with swords without a doubt," the old man agreed before raising a straight wooden staff, "but a true master is ready to use any weapon at any moment upon need. You will not always have your blades with you. Come now, we have a few more weeks to keep this training up until I promised your mother we'd return." Richard nodded with a small frustrated sigh as he picked up his staff which had fallen beside him. He brushed the dirt off his butt and readied himself. Kali watched in amazement for the rest of the afternoon as the older man taught Richard about fighting with a staff. She had never known such a battle style existed outside of physical hand to hand combat that the lycans excelled in. After all, they had claws and teeth to use. External objects were not needed. So fascinated was she, Kali snuck into their camp after they left to forage for some food afterwards. They had a few spare staffs and she snuck one away for herself. Away from the camp she marveled at how light and balanced it felt within her hands. That night she moved a distance from their camp and practiced everything the old man had covered. The next day and following number of days she would go back to observe before practicing that night. She grew to love how natural it felt and how it twirled about in her hands. Kali also realized she had grown fond of Richard. So very fond in fact that she finally realized she was in love with him. Then that fateful night she would never forget, she had heard the old man earlier that day state that it was going to be their last day before they headed back home. Kali's heart was torn. She wanted to go out there to beg them to take her with them so she could be with Richard. But she was frightened of being rejected and beaten once again. That night tears stung her eyes as she practiced the lessons of the master. She didn't know what to do! "Very good, little one," a familiar voice spoke from behind her. Kali's fur stood on end as she hissed in surprised and fell to the ground. The old man chuckled as he stepped towards her and helped lift her to her feet with gentle hands. Her patted her back to ease her fear and smiled. "Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you. In fact I know you've been watching us for quite a while now," the old man said with a gruff laugh that reminded her so much of Dio. That helped calm her nerves further. "You've got true talent, little one. It is amazing that you learned to apply so much with that level of execution just from watching. You may definitely grow to be better than Richard even." Kali winced at the mention of his name and the old man noticed her eyes tearing up. "What's this? You've taken a strong liking to Richard? So that is why you were crying..." The old man rested a hand on her shoulder and smiled, "I made a promise to bring him back to his mother soon. You are too young to be out here on your own and should return to your own family. I know of the village you are from because I'm an acquaintance of an old lionman there. I'll bring Richard back when he's older to see you then, okay? Until then, you keep training hard with that staff. No. Don't worry about taking it as you did. Consider it a gift then? Good." It all seemed so surreal that he was being so kind to her. With that he gave her some of their rations and left her to rest that night. By morning when she had woken, they were already gone. It hurt. But not as much because of the old man's promise. Richard would be coming in the future and she would be there waiting for him. She decided then she belonged only to him and no other. She would practice hard to be the best and win his admiration. The small catgirl returned later that day to her home with staff in hand to a worried and furious mother. When those other lycan children once again tried to beat her up, the small catgirl was more than ready to make them regret it! ******************** Blaze could only stare at the frozen catwoman who had him pinned with her staff to his face. He was not worried about being hurt by her but was more surprised than anything else. His four companions were the only ones here that knew his true name. They respected his wishes to protect his mother by keeping his identity secret. Tyra and Nadine never called him Richard. Rae only used it when being very serious with him and Kendra in their most intimate moments together. He had not once heard them mention his true identity to Kali since they'd met her. So how did the catwoman know at the least his first name? Kali's golden eyes stared in pure disbelief in return to the baffled expression on the human's face beneath her. Her heart was pounding inside her chest so hard she thought it would surely burst. He had grown as much as she had but she could still see the resemblance of her childhood love. When the master had failed to come back many years later, her hope for seeing him again had diminished. But she kept that promise to herself that if Richard would not be able to have her, no one would. Kali was fine living with that. She withdrew the wooden staff and looked down to it as her mind raced with the realization that not only was he before her now, but that he was Nadine's life mate. Her sister had slept with him countless times. Jealousy fired up within her instantly with such searing fierceness that she almost screamed at the top of her lungs right there. Instead, her eyes narrowed down at the quiet human beneath her before she tossed the staff away. Reaching down, the catwoman grabbed a fistful of his shirt and yanked him up to his feet. "Follow me," she growled threateningly. Blaze stood there in amazement as he had watched Nadine's sister go through such a myriad of emotions before powerfully pulling him up to his feet. The catwoman's fist clenched his shirt in an iron grip that trembled violently. Her growl sent chills down his spine. Why was Kali so angry with him all of a sudden? She had a look of complete fury in those eyes. The catwoman turned from him and began walking through the grass to the east, tail swaying behind her stiffly. "But... camp is back that way," he managed to say. A backwards glance at him with an animalistic growl that sounded very tiger-like made him hop to it right after her! There was no way he was going to be heading back to camp at the moment at least. After a few minutes of silence had passed in following her, the other question he had was nagging enough at him to force him to ask. "How do you know who I am?" Kali glanced back at him with those intense eyes before they seemed to soften a little. "I guess you could say we shared a common teacher." "Teacher?" Blaze whispered before looking to her in shock, "You knew my master?" "You can say that I did in a way," she spoke as she looked back ahead. "I watched the two of you in secret when I was younger. That is how I learned to fight with the staff... But enough talk, Richard! We are almost there." Blaze obeyed the firm order from the catwoman as he wondered where 'there' was supposed to be. Why hadn't his master told him about Kali? It was no use asking now since the old man was long gone. The breaking of silence drew him away from his thoughts to where he began to hear the unmistakable lapping of waves along a beach shoreline. Stepping around a rock formation jutting upwards through the tall grasslands, he stepped out onto the open sand of moonlit beach. Other sounds became much clearer that drew him on edge because they sounded like the cries of people. His eyes adjusted further to the light around and saw few figures along the beach separated by wide margins. "Where are we?" he asked nervously, unsure if these were the enemy or not. "A beach of no name," Kali answered with her back to him still, "but important to many from our army." "How is it important?" he asked as he relaxed his tension. "Members of our forces have started coming to this beach for privacy. The brutality of war and hatred in the killing force many to seek out comfort and tender affection. Many have met and have the same desire to share at least one more moment of that feeling, knowing this night could be their last." Blaze looked around him again with realization now. Those cries were the sounds of joy and pleasure in one. "Why bring me here?" he finally asked. The catwoman didn't move or say anything for a moment before she walked forward with a wave for him to follow once again. Human and lycan walked together down the beach in silence as they came across couples oblivious to their presence. Kali was a raging storm of emotions as she walked forward with the sand giving slightly beneath her feet. She had calmed a little more by the time as she reached the beach with him. Her mind still reeled from the jealousy that her older sister had taken him many times before she could even see him once. The firm resolution to bringing him here for her intended goal began to crumble as she became gradually nervous about the plan now. A chill ran down her spine as she worried about him rejecting her. She could tolerate the other lycans shunning her. But now that she finally had the gods apparently drop her life's only love into her lap, she was terrified of him not wanting her now. She was a virgin and inexperienced with sex. She had quietly spied on a few couples from afar from time to time in her home village but never had she even felt the penis of a male. What if she was so inexperienced she failed to please him as Nadine did? Or that she could not arouse him and bring him the utmost pleasure? It would shatter her completely! The catwoman drew to a stop in her walk when the silence. Her ears twitched as she did not hear his footsteps following her anymore. She turned around to see the human staring off to the ocean in thought. Had she dragged this on too long? Was this the moment where she had to act or lose the chance forever. Blazing Glory Ch. 12 Blaze sighed as the lapping sounds of the sea made him think about home. A small wave of homesickness went through him as he wondered how his mother was doing. Did she even know about this terrible army across the sea? He had come so far without much thought of home before now. "Well hello there," a soft, sensual voice whispered next to his ear. The human shouted in shock as he nearly leapt out of his skin surprise and Kali gave a small shriek as her fur stood on end. Both of them were scared out of their minds by the presence of another they did not sense or hear approach. Trying the catch his breath after the fright, Blaze turned to look at the newcomer and completely lost every bit of it. Standing there was one of the most voluptuous lycans he had seen outside of the Teigra sisters. He could see why they had not seen the figure in their approach as standing before him was a pantherwoman. Her right hand rested on her cocked hip with a sly smile on her face. Just like her lycan namesake, the beauty was all black in fur with long wavy black hair cascading down her back to her shapely hips. The moonlight accentuated her exotic figure especially the large full breasts as big as Kendra's. "Evalyn!" Kali gasped in relief. The Hellcat had been isolated from any chance of forming friendships for most of her life with the exception of one. Evalyn Lunara was the one lycan who had befriended her at a young age. The pantherwoman had been able to relate because of the wariness some lycans had of her race. It was silly that lycans like her father and Evalyn were subjected to the irrational superstition about black cats being bad luck but it existed nonetheless. When she was an older teenager, Evalyn sympathized with the small preteen girl suffering such withering contempt from other lycans and decided to befriend her. Kali had always been grateful to the dark beauty and repaid her kindness every day. She was there to comfort Evalyn in her grief when her life mate had died in an accident building their new home. A smile grew on her face as the relief flooded through her when she saw it was Evalyn being as sneaky as ever. The pantherwoman was part of the lycan stealth force used during the night for quick kills and reconnaissance. In this battle the enemy's size was so large they the risk was not worth it. Instead they stuck to patrols at night to warn their army of any possible surprise attacks. "What are you doing here?" "My watch is over and I thought I would enjoy a walk along the beach for the night," the gorgeous pantherwoman purred sensually as her golden eyes sized up the human next to her. Before meeting Kendra this day, Evalyn had been the most sensual person Kali had ever known. She always looked like a sexual predator ready to pounce any tempting male she found a fancy for. That is how she met her life mate after all. "Oh! Well this is Blaze. He just arrived with Nadine and a few other friends after a long journey." "I know," Evalyn hummed as she determined she was pleased at what she saw. "Word has already spread around the campfires about your unique group that is on a mission to challenge the goddess. To earn the wrath of Koas has given people a lot of hope now that you are here." The words of protest caught in Blaze's throat as Evalyn's finger pressed to his lips gently to shush him. Her golden eyes gazed deeply into his as if she was judging his very soul. Behind the playful sexual aura around this catwoman, he could see within her eyes a serene maturity. Perhaps she was searching his soul to gauge his worth after hearing the rumors. "Nice catch, Kali," the panterwoman purred softly as she broke her gaze from him. "C-catch?" Kali stammered nervously. "What do you mean? We were just out for a walk is all." The younger lycan was rubbing her left arm anxiously to only further confirm Evalyn's suspicions. The dark beauty simply chuckled at the protest as she began to slowly circle the couple with narrowed eyes like a predator. "Oh really now? I think we both know why you came here this evening. Everyone comes here for one reason only." Both Blaze and Kali slowly found themselves inching closer together nervously as the pantherwoman circled them. Kali found herself shivering slightly as she looked back to Blaze and her words froze on her tongue once again. She so desperately wanted to tell him her love for him and take him right now. Yet she was still terrified as ever before. Powerful arms seized her from behind suddenly in a tight hug that scared her even more than the first time. "I want you, Richard!" the on-edge catwoman shrieked in her fright. Those arms wrapped about her waist as she heard the soft chuckle from behind as her friend hugged her luscious body up to her back. "Cat gave your tongue back finally it seems." Kali gasped and shivered as she tried to slow her breathing after that scare. She was going to get Evalyn back for that but it would have to wait now that she had confessed to her childhood love her desire. "You called him, Richard?" Evalyn whispered as the realization came to her. "He's the human boy you told me about? Then you need to tell him, Kali." Those last words were whispered with the urgency of experience. The older lycan had come to fully grasp the situation and wanted her friend to not let her friend become nervous or shy to let this opportunity for love to pass her by. With slow measured breaths and closed eyes, Kali steeled herself by envisioning the rigid strength of her staff within her. Her words came out slowly at first before picking up in speed with the tension leaving her. "Richard, as you know I observed you training with your master over the span of those days when I was younger. What I didn't tell you is that I fell in love with you as well. Your master knew I was there and told me on the last day he would come visit with you. I have been saving myself for you ever since." Blaze simply looked stunned at this night of revelations from the catwoman. He never knew this lycan before today and now he was standing in front of Nadine's younger sister where she was professing her love for him. Evalyn saw that it was taking him some time to process this information and his feelings, which was understandable. She purred softly into her friend's ear to show her approval for finally opening up. Her golden eyes looked up to him with a stern look that would not be questioned. "Stay there and watch." "Eva? What?" Kali began to ask in shock as those arms of the pantherwoman began moving around her body. It was the catwoman's turn to look stunned as Evalyn's hands softly caressed her torso before the right hand moved up to grope a large white-furred breast. This new pleasurable sensation caused her to whimper slightly as she pressed her backside against the pantherwoman. "Just breaking the tension and getting you ready for the night of your life" Evalyn whispered huskily into her ear. Her hands cupped Kali's tits from underneath before the soft click of her claws. The pantherwoman gently ran the claws back and forth over those pebbled peaks hardening to her touch. Kali gasped as waves of emotions swept through her body as her mind raced with the thoughts of what was happening. The fact that her friend was sexually groping her in front of him of all people was both frightening and exciting at the same time. A moan escaped her lips and her eyes closed as the pleasure washed through her with the tenderness of those hands roaming her large breasts. This was the first time anyone's hands had grasped her large bust with pleasurable intent other than her own hands when she was masturbating. Kali could feel her pussy quickly begin to become wet with her excitement as her heart was racing. "I have wanted to fuck you for so long, Kali," her friend whispered sensually into her ear before giving that ear a playful lick as her fingers twirled her hard pink nipple about. Kali's eyes opened wide with Evalyn's confession. She bit her lip in embarrassment as she looked to Blaze as a moan nearly escaped her. He looked unsure of how to take this other than follow Evalyn's stern orders. Watching those dark hands groping the large furry white breasts was exciting him to the point of where he thought he was going to rip through his pants. One of those dark hands released the bountiful tit to slide down Kali's belly to caress to wet, pink folds. Her fingers spread those lips apart to reveal the catwoman's excitement as another finger gently probed the initial depths. "Ah yes, you are so wet, Kali," Evalyn purred with approval before looking over to Blaze with a knowing smile. "Isn't she, Blaze?" Kali could only look to Blaze as she bit her lip and whimper in pleasure as fingers other than her own delved into her wet pussy. Her lush body arched backwards to rub against Evalyn's body as a cry finally escaped from her when those fingers thrust more deeply. Her legs spread wider as her friend's thumb began to rub against her budding clit with the fingers stroking in and out. The wet sounds of those fingers pumping her cunt overcame the lapping of the waves. Kali could have cried from the pleasure as her hips thrust forward now eagerly into those fingers and more of her juices wet her inner thighs. It felt so blessedly good. When Evalyn tugged on her hard pink nipple her mind nearly blanked out from anything else around her. She was being physically manipulated masterfully by her friend. Evalyn hummed again as a high, thin wail of sexual frustration and need to reach her climax escaped the catwoman as her wet fingers drove in over and over relentlessly. Kali's eyes opened wide as she looked to Blaze with a wild look in her eyes. "Oh gods! Aaaaah! What is happening? Yes! AHH! Oh gods YEEEESSSSS!" The Hellcat shrieked as she stood on her toes as the orgasm ripped through her violently shuddering body and her cum squirted out hotly from her pussy to soak the sand at her feet. Her body quaked visibly as the most intense orgasm of her life rushed through her and left her weak-kneed. "Oh! Such a good girl," the pantherwoman chuckled as she pulled her doused fingers out of her friend's pussy. The catwoman dropped to her knees in the soft sand when Evalyn's arms released her. Shivering in the pleasure as smaller orgasms rippled through her body, she hugged her breasts and looked up to see Evalyn saunter over to a stunned looking Blaze with full dark breasts bouncing lightly and a smirk on her face. The pantherwoman had seen the tent in the human's pants and that was what her golden eyes focused on now. "Good boy," she purred sexily as circled around him as her hand trailed around his chest to his shoulders. That dark hand reached around to seize his shirt as she stopped in front of him. Her eyes narrowed before that sensual smirk grew more. "But you have on too many clothes." Evalyn's sexual assertiveness would be enough to make anyone, including Blaze, feel like a virgin in their first time. Just like that the warrior, who had so many sexual encounters so far, was dominated into compliance as the pantherwoman proceeded to forcefully pull his shirt off over his head to be followed by stripped his pants down in one fluid motion. "I think I'll leave them around your ankles so you can't get away," she chuckled. Looking down, her golden eyes opened wide as a surprised purr escaped her. "Oh my! A big boy, aren't you? Not too big and not too small, but just right." Stavros help him if this woman joined forces with Kendra. These assertive women would eat him alive! Kali was still lying on the sand as her body was recovering from her orgasm. But her eyes also widened as she finally looked upon what she had so often imagined in her sexual fantasies. "Kali!" The pantherwoman said her name again to snap the catwoman out of her hypnotic state. "Being this is your first time I want you to watch me to see how to make a man happy." Blaze barely registered those words as he looked upon the luscious body lower in front of him before golden eyes lustfully looked up to him finally. The kneeling patherwoman took the human's cock into furry hand to begin stroking it from the shaft's base to the head. Having finally recovered enough, Kali pushed herself to her knees to look on as her friend asked her too. She wasn't totally naïve about sex as she had overheard a few details from conversations in the past, especially from Evalyn. But she had never witnessed anyone doing it up close and that is why she looked on with interest now to what the dark lycan was doing with Blaze's cock. "I.." Kali spoke with hesitation. "I thought you had to do something else though." "Oh, you mean this?" Those words had barely registered to Blaze over the pleasure of those fingers expertly jerking him off before he felt the wet sensation send a jolt of pleasure right through him. Looking down, he saw Evalyn's rough lycan tongue lick across the sensitive flared head of his cock as her hand continued to pump his shaft. As always with Nadine, the sensation of the feline lycan tongue on his cock made him weak in the knees and moan. Hearing the human above her moan made her smirk even more. Giving oral sex was always a turn on to Evalyn. She could already feel the rush of excitement through her body. But the wonderful taste of this human's cock was making her aroused twat wetter than usual. She couldn't wait to taste more of him! "Now if you really want to excite him you do this," the dark beauty spoke to her friend before her mouth opened wide and the head of his cock disappeared inside. Her pussy contracted with a pleasurable pulse as she heard his wordless exclamation of ecstasy. She didn't want to stop with just the head as her mouth took him deeper and deeper until he was deep down in her throat. Evalyn couldn't help but purr as no one had ever reached so deeply into her throat before! She finally bottomed out with her lips reaching the base of his cock. Her soft furred tits with rock hard nipples rubbed against his legs while her long tail wrapped about his body with the tip flicking at his ass. Blaze tightened his hands into white-knuckled fists as he fought furiously to not blow his load into her purring mouth at that moment. The coaxing throat was driving him insane with pleasure. "Oh gods," he moaned loudly, "So good!" The pantherwoman pulled off of his cock and playfully nipped at the sensitive tip as she looked up to him with a knowing smirk. "You like that, huh? Then let's see how you like this" The black furred lycan renewed her oral assault on his cock by swirling her hot tongue about his cock several times before her mouth wickedly dove down upon him again and again. Her head bobbed steadily on him with increasing pace while deep throating him every time she went down. Evalyn was purring the whole time and it vibrated his cock every time it slid into her throat. Her fingers caressed downwards to find and cup his balls as her fingertips lightly stroked. Kali watched intently as she licked her lips while Blaze could only stand there and gasp with shock and awe at being expertly deep throated by Evalyn. He nearly lost it again as she drew off of him and her tongue danced across the slit to taste his precum. She purred loudly as she looked to enjoy the taste as her tongue probed his slit for more before those dark lips spread again so she could suck him inside her hot, wet mouth. She was rapidly moving her head now to where her long dark hair shifted across her body and large tits swaying to where her nipples repeatedly grazed his thighs. Blaze didn't think he could hold back any longer as he watched his pale rigid erection move in and out of her dark lips. His breathing was becoming rapid as his balls began to tighten with the need to release. Evalyn's ears heard his rapid breathing and felt those shaking hips full of need. She quickly drew off of him and nipped at the head again playfully with a smile. "Oh such a good boy wanting to give me all that human cum. But first... Kali! Come here! It's your turn to try." Kali nearly moved away as she was afraid she would fail miserably after such expertise from her friend. How could she even come close to performing that well for him? But Eva wasn't having any wavering as she grabbed her arm and pulled the catwoman in close to him. "Suck his cock like I did," she spoke reassuringly. "He is so close to cumming and needs you right now, Kali." Her golden eyes looked up to him to see the love of her life staring back with desperation in those eyes. Kali steeled her resolve before too much time passed and tentatively gave the head of his dick a slow lick. She tasted his precum and blinked in surprise. It tasted... good. Feeling less hesitant with each passing moment, she suckled the head into her mouth with a wet slurp before she swirled her tongue about the head from inside. "Deeper now into your throat," Evalyn smiled encouragingly as she watched her friend giving her first blowjob with pride. Her hand lightly grasped the back of Kali's head and pushed forward. "Like this. Swallow and swallow." Panicked eyes focused on Eva take her other hand to her throat to show Kali how to take him deeper. He was filling her mouth so much. But his renewed groans filling her ears told her that she was making him feel pleasure like Evalyn had. Heartened with joy, the catwoman slowly swallowed repeatedly as his cock entered down into her throat. "Oh gods, Kali," Blaze moaned her name loudly as his cock disappeared down the virginal mouth of the luscious catwoman kneeling in front of him. The intense pleasure and pressure that had momentarily lapsed roared back to life within him. Kali gave a deep throated moan as his hard member filled her mouth and throat. Her head worked back and forth upon it with the rhythm Evalyn had started for her. Her pace increased as she heard his pleas to not stop as he was so close again. "Such a sweet kitten, huh Blaze? Keep going, Kali. Suck him." The black furred lycan spoke before crouching down to suck those balls into her mouth. Their two mouths wetly worked at sucking him with loud hungry slurps. Kali was jerking her head up and down quickly as the force of her fast motion caused those lush tits to sway on her chest. She was so excited about giving him such pleasure and wanted to finally see what a man cumming was like. Sweat was dripping down his body as the sensation of two hot mouths worshipping his cock and balls gave rise to that familiar rushing of ecstasy. "I'm.. I'm going to cum!" "Kali! Switch places with me and observe!" Evalyn spoke quickly after hearing his words and releasing him from her mouth. Kali released his cock with a slight pop and ducked downwards to take his balls into her mouth with a moaning suck. Her eyes looked up to see Evalyn take Blaze's rod back into her mouth with one swift motion before she masterfully deep throated him again. Her hands moved along his shaft with excitement for what was going to happen. The sensation of the two beautiful lycans on him was finally too much for any being, mortal or immortal, to withstand any longer. After his incredible fight to last, Blaze's cock erupted inside that expert mouth of Evalyn's mouth. The pantherwoman gave a muffled cry of surprise as thick jets of cum spurted rapidly into her mouth quickly enough to spill if she didn't swallow. The sensual lycan swallowed. She pulled back off of him and looked up with a sexy smile as she opened her mouth wide for him to see those squirting thick ropes of delicious spunk coat her tongue. She hoped Kali learned that part of pleasing a man was acting dirty for him as she just did. "Kali, come taste him," her friend purred to her as she sat back up. Kali's golden eyes opened wide as Evalyn pulled her in for a deep, passionate kiss. Her mind went nearly blank from the emotions and pleasure washing through her. It was her first kiss and it was her friend's tongue coated with Blaze's cum! Her pussy convulsed with a smaller orgasm that rippled through her body. She pulled back from Evalyn with a gasp for air and licked her lips after swallowing the jizz. He tasted better than she ever imagined! Blazing Glory Ch. 12 Kali looked up to see Eva looking at her with genuine love and desire and couldn't help but smile in return. With a wink to her, Evalyn looked back to Blaze with the hungry eyes of a jungle cat just like her namesake. "Our turn boy," she growled with desire as she shoved him backwards. Blaze grunted as he fell backwards into the soft sand. He looked up and could only see two pairs of feline eyes glowing in the night with predatory hunger. He had the mixed emotions between wanting to stay and have the wildest sex imaginable with two exotic women or run for his life before they fucked him to death. Evalyn firmly took hold of his pants and yanked them off as a sign that there was to be no escape. Crawling up his naked body, the pantherwoman let her soft fur caress his skin. Her large swaying tits moved up to his cock and she pulled the shaft into the dark valley. Pressing the beautifully firm yet soft orbs around his cock, her furry body rocked back and forth to make his cock go up and down between those tits. Whipping her cascading dark hair aside, she looked up to him with those eyes as her sensual smile grew wider. "Get ready, Blaze. I am going to fuck you," she said with a low purr, "and when I get off, I am going to drop that tight, little virginal pussy over there on your cock. Do you like that idea?" Blaze didn't even have to nod as he did. His member roaring back to life with rigid hardness between her soft breasts was answer enough from his body. He looked down to see her big furry breasts continue to slide up and down around his shaft as her incredible tit fuck brought him back to full strength in record time. Seeing the head of his full erection poking out from her breasts, Evalyn gave it a sly lick with a purr. "That never fails to get a man back up and ready," she said with a grin to Kali as she released his shaft from her breasts to move up to where she was straddling his hips with the head aiming right at the wet lips of her pussy. "Now watch, Kali. Get up near his head to see more clearly." The catwoman nodded and quickly moved to kneel over him with keen interest on Evalyn. She was a jealous at first that her friend was going to have sex with him before her but quickly shoved any thoughts like that aside. Evalyn was doing this for her benefit. The dark beauty gave her a wink before she raised up with that cock aimed at her pussy to slowly lower herself until the head was inside her. "See what I am doing? Watch how his cock spreads me," she gasped before letting out a very loud moan as she sank further down upon him. He was bigger than she thought as her hot, wet pussy greedily stretched to take in his girth. Kali and Blaze could only watch in amazement as the pale cock disappeared further into the dark luscious figure astride him. Blaze's head dropped back as the tightness of her hot tunnel surrounded him. However, instead of looking at the sky he found himself looking at a large white furred breast capped by a beautiful pink nipple as Kali leaned over him. It was too good an opportunity to pass up as he leaned up to suck on that hard nipple as his hand reached up to grope her other breast. Kali yelped in surprise because she had been so focused on Evalyn. His tongue on her breast sent a shock right from her chest down to her cunt. She purred with how good it felt. Her hand dug into the sand as her purrs changed into moans as his tongue flicked across the hard bud. "Ah gods! You are stretching me so good!" Evalyn purred as she finally bottomed out after savoring his shaft's length and width. Her furry body resting on his hips with her tail happily swaying behind her, she lean forward as her hips wriggled back and forth. Her full ass moved easily to slide that cock in and out of her pussy. "Now Kali... you can either... lean forward like.. ungh!.. like this," the pantherwoman panted heavily as she rode the human's cock. "Or you can.. oh gods!.. or sit up and... yesss.. ride up and down." The pantherwoman gasped as she switched riding techniques and began to ride up and down on that shaft impaling her. Her black furred breasts bounced on her chest now as the wet slaps of her hips meeting his sounded loudly with her growing passion. She had to force herself to slow down lest she climax too quickly. She would almost draw completely off that cock and tease his head before driving back down on him hard. Blaze couldn't help but groan as he experienced what he expected to be true of Evalyn. The lycan knew how to have sex as masterfully as she could perform orally. He couldn't help but continue to constantly groan now into Kali's tit which in turn made the catwoman above him whimper in her own pleasure. "Damn you're so hard and big!" Evalyn gasped as her pace began to quicken again. "I'm going to cum any minute. Kali, please come suck on my tits!" Blaze gasped in disappointment as that large breast moved away while Kali moved up and over to Evalyn. He also wanted to curse at that moment. Kali's bountiful breasts were a great distraction to help him hold off from another orgasm. Evalyn's cunt was exquisite in the way it was milking his cock for that white spunk. Now he was forced to contend with that sensation and site of his cock going in and out of her dark body. To add to his dilemma he also watched Kali taking to her friend's bouncing jugs with her hands to suck at the dusky nipple hesitantly before with more vigor. To the pantherwoman's delight, that plunging onto this human's impressive shaft and her friend sucking on her sensitive tits made Evalyn true to her claim. "Yes! Right there! Suck on my tits just like that Kali! Damn! DAMN! Oh gods yes!!!" The pantherwoman's eyes rolled up and she unleashed a scream of satisfaction to into the night as she came hard. She lifted completely off of him in the middle of her orgasm to let her cum spill out over his cock and stomach in a waterfall of bliss. Eyes closed and breasts swaying, the pantherwoman's hips shuddered and thrust forward into the air lewdly as the aftereffects of one of the most intense orgasms of her life. Evalyn looked down to the human's cock still hard and ready. She had intentionally lifted off because she knew he would be getting close to where cumming on him would have pushed him over too. Evalyn wanted him to save that for Kali. She could see by his short gasps that he had definitely been close. Looking over to her friend at her side, she saw the catwoman nervously looking down at that cock. She could understand her friend's hesitation. Evalyn was a bit taller and fuller in body than Kali. Blaze's cock had filled her so much and it was only going to be more intense for the Hellcat. But the virgin lycan didn't realize that she was breathing heavily from the excitement and it was a reassuring sign. "Get up to where I am now, Kali," Evalyn whispered to Kali, "and straddle him like you saw how I did." Evalyn moved aside and over to Blaze's head as Kali gracefully move into position just as she had seen. The catwoman drew a deep breath as the moment she had always dreamt about was about to come true. Her large breasts rose high with that breath as her pink nipples were still hard from the arousal in this atmosphere of excitement. Her pink virgin twat spread open as she straddled over him. "Now go down," Evalyn encouraged as she leaned forward to grasp the base of his cock tightly to help it point straight upwards at that pretty pussy. Kali nodded and with a slow breath she lowered herself. A low moan escaped her as the head entered her with a wet pop before more of the shaft followed. The Hellcat could feel him squirm beneath her as she knew she had to be much tighter around him. He must be fighting desperately not to cum inside her already. She hesitated when she felt that impaling shaft finally hit her hymen. "Oh! Ooooh Richard!" She cried out his name before she shoved herself down. His cock surged through to take her virginity beautifully! It hurt but not as badly as she had been hurt in other times of her life. Just beyond the pain, she could begin to feel the pleasure returning but what felt to be a whole new level she'd never experienced. Halfway down his cock, the catwoman breathed heavily to collect herself before she eased herself down again. Blaze didn't know if he could last much longer with the tight, wet pussy constricting around him as Kali continued to lower himself. He had to find a distraction again because Evalyn had once again left him at the edge of climax. He would be filling Kali's womb before she was even fully on top of him. Looking up, the young warrior found his answer as well as a little bit of revenge he could have on Evalyn. His hands reached up to seize those big dark orbs and kneaded her tits. Evalyn cried out in surprise and excitement as he began pulled on those hard nipples of her. She leaned up and backwards to increase his ability to tug her sensitive nipples taut as she cried out with more pleasure coursing through her. Kali was trembling as she had finally dropped all the way down to be fully impaled on his cock. She felt like she had squatted down upon a large post, but instead of pain she felt her body begin to throb excitedly. Her tight sheath was in spasms as she began to rock back and forth as she had seen Evalyn do and her golden eyes grew wide with the incredible sensations. "Oh heavens this feels fantastic!" The Hellcat screamed with a laugh as a lusty smile soon began to grow as her nervousness disappeared. Soon her hips were rocking back and forth to ride her lover's shaft with wild abandon. Blaze grit his teeth as Kali's invigorated riding with her tight wet twat was wrapping about him in such a way that he knew he didn't have much longer. He needed further distraction to help him last longer and had to find it quickly. Evalyn continued to enjoy the feel of those strong hands kneading her full breasts as she watched Kali increase her rhythm as she changed to riding up and down on that rod impaling her. Her long, black pony tail tossed about her body and those large white furry tits bounced deliciously. Feeling her own pussy becoming very wet at the hot sight of her friend whom she had desired for so long, she couldn't wait to have many more sexual experiences now that both lycans had crossed this line. "Oooooh yeeessss!" The catwoman mewed sensually, "It feels so fucking good now!" The pantherwoman yelped in surprise when powerful hands suddenly seized her by her shapely ass and lifted her up in the air. She blinked as she was promptly dropped back down onto Blaze's face and his tongue lash out wickedly against the pink folds of her pussy. "Oh hell yes! Eat me!" Evalyn gave a sexy laugh followed by shrill screams while she ground her pussy into his face and that wonderful tongue. The pantherwoman's sweet juices coated his tongue as he delved deeply into her cunt with hunger for more. It was a welcome change of focus as it worked to temporarily stave off that perilous edge to climaxing. His hands left her ass to reach up and cup those large breasts of hers. He could never get over the soft fur covering a lycan woman's large tits while they stayed firm enough to jut out pronouncedly from their chests. The two lycan beauties on top of him were perfect examples of that. "Going to cum! UNGH! Going to come all over your mouth! Oh FUCK!" Evalyn cried out as her eyes rolled up and her hips rapidly humped his face and that tongue as his moans sent vibrations into sensitive twat to where she flooded his mouth with a quick release. Laughing with exhilaration, the dark beauty's hands gripped his hair as she leaned back to enjoy that tongue some more. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Kali panted frantically as she slammed her pussy down hard with each word over and over again as she felt her body beginning to burn towards an inferno she yearned desperately to reach as she knew she had never experienced anything like it before. This rapid rise in pleasure resulted from her riding up and down on him. This motion was hitting her sensitive clit each time. "I'm cumming! I'm cumming! Oh gods, Richard cum with me!!!" She wailed in a high pitched wail as she slammed down on him one final time and shuddered in her climax. The initial spasms of the avalanche starting through her was too much for her lover as his cock erupted thick jets of cum into her. His climax was so intense that his back arced upwards off the sand as his hips lifted her. He thrust that cock repeatedly up into her as deeply as he could to fill her with as spunk as much as possible. Feeling that hot cum filling her and knowing that is was Richard sealing their pact sent her orgasm into such an explosion that she opened her mouth to scream but no sound came out. Kali's cum squirted out of her pussy to coat his dick and drench his hips as her eyes rolled up and tongue hung out the side of her mouth. Her tits bounced with his thrusts as she leaned back with her body convulsing in the pleasure tearing her mind apart. Evalyn was just coming down from her sexual high when she witnessed her friend experience such a mind-shattering climax. The incredibly arousing sight, those hands tightly squeezing her breasts in a death grip and Blaze switching to suck on her clit fiercely through his own orgasm sent the pantherwoman into a screaming fit as she writhed on his face. She poured hot, thick and sweet cum into his mouth and a drenched his face once more as her breath left her and her body twitched violently. The moonlit night silhouetted the two lush feminine bodies thrashing about wildly on top of the human as all three shared their mutual bliss in that moment. Kali collapsed against Evalyn as she gasped. Both lycan women held onto each other with trembling arms as they struggled to regain their breath and control of their bodies. "Oh so good," Evalyn gasped with wide-eyed wonder as Kali whimpered into her shoulder. She hugged the younger lycan close as pure joy filled her that such a man was Kali's now. She could understand why those four women were with him as she had suspected there was more to his following. She had mated with different men before, but none compared to the level of passion and attention that Blaze put into the sex to not only enjoy it himself but also that the woman enjoyed it even more. Her golden eyes narrowed with that realization and what it meant. The Hellcat looked up weakly as she recovered from the orgasm that had left her mind in a stupor until that point. She leaned forward more until Richard's cock exited her pussy with a wet pop and a mixture of his cum and a little virginal blood leaked out. Looking up to her friend, she saw Evalyn staring up to the night sky with an sad look before a tear formed in one eye and slide down her cheek. "We are not done yet," Kali heard her dark friend whisper to herself before looking down to the catwoman with a smile. She wiped away the tear as she moved off of the warrior beneath him. "Help me with him." Blaze lay there in the sand as he swallowed and gasped for breath as the lycans moved off of him. Sweat glistened on his body from the heat of the sex even though he was not tired from not having exerted himself physically too much so far. He almost jumped to his feet when he felt two rough tongues lapping at his sensitive cock. "W-what?" He stammered as he looked down to them. They hadn't had enough? By the looks in their eyes as they looked back up at him, they had not. Dear Stavros, they really were going to eat him alive with their sexual hunger! Two wet tongues delicately bathed his soft cock to clean it from the combination of cum and pussy juices with relish like it was a saucer of milk. Having had experience with multiple orgasms before, Blaze's stamina became evident as the member began to regain life and rigidity once more. Both lycans purred about that extending shaft. Their tongues continued to dance around the sensitive head until it was back to full strength. "Blaze," Evalyn looked down to him with that mature gaze after leaning up with Kali. The dark lycan turned around and got down on all fours, presenting her ass to him with her tail raised to the side. Spreading her thighs wide revealed her cunt dripping with arousal. "That is not the only cherry to get to have this eve." Kali gasped at Evalyn's actions and she couldn't blame the catwoman. It wasn't uncommon that in lycan cultures one could lose their life mate prematurely. Fights, disease, and accidents were just some of the common realities that could take the life of a lycan before their time. But one's virginity given in the pact could not be given again obviously. In rare circumstances, lycan culture allowed a widow to take one other life mate should they desire it. But only if they had their other 'virginity' to give. "Yes, Kali," the older lycan looked to the catwoman with a sad smile. "Despite my sexual endeavors for fun, I never allowed anyone to claim that in case I met someone special to give my heart to." Blaze sat up as he listened to this brief exchange between the two friends, not fully understanding what was going on. He froze when the pantherwoman fixed him with fierce eyes that spoke volumes of her seriousness. "You have gathered an amazing pride for yourself. I want to become part of it. Anal sex is something I have never done and I want you to be my first. One more time tonight," she growled with both passion and need. "Claim me!" Blaze simply could not resist not only because of her shapely ass being alluringly offered to him but because of the begging tone within the normally confident lycan's voice. He rose and moved over to the lycan to kneel behind her. His hands rested on the sides of her hips as she readied herself. His shaft was hard and still wet from their oral stimulation. Pressing the flared head against the dark star of Evalyn's ass, he eased forward. "Oh GODS!" Evalyn cried out with wide eyes lowered her head to the sand as she drew in a deep breath while raising her ass to give him better access. He was big as she had expected and she panted heavily as she tried to relax. She could feel herself stretching and her muscles trying to force him out at first. Kali was watching this with interest as she knew the future held a similar experience to come with Blaze. She scooted around to hold onto her friend's hand in support and encouragement. Eva had been here tonight to support her more than Kali could have ever asked of her. It was only right she be there for her in this. The pantherwoman let loose with a long, low moan with her bowed head. She was breathing deeply now with her mouth hanging partially open in awe of the new sensations. Every time her muscles flexed about that shaft easing deeper into her sent a shockwave through her. Her toes clenched and her one hand clawed into the loose sand as she screamed in pleasure when he pressed his hips into her ass. She was fully speared upon him now. "Ahhhhhh damn!" she cried hysterically. She was not pain but a growing state of euphoria as she moaned repeatedly with growing volume. Kali licked her lips as she was now in the position to watch the arousing side of Blaze driving a female to new heights of ecstasy. Her breathing quickened and she sat down in front of her friend, fingers reaching down to dive into her pussy and finger herself rapidly. The young human could only gasp as he bottomed out into Evalyn's ass and he remained still to give her time to get used to it. His hand gently rested on her lower back to make sure she was okay as he could hear her breathing in deep, shuddering breaths. When he felt the tightness of her clenching him begin to ease a bit, Blaze began to slowly pull that shaft back and before easing back in. Her cries of approval filled the night air as she raised her head finally. Taking this sign of progress, his other hand gripped her tail to help give him leverage as he increased his tempo and strength of his thrusts into those hot depths of her beautiful ass. Blazing Glory Ch. 12 Evalyn tossed her head about now, whipping her long dark hair around as the pleasant burning only continued to grow. "Oh gods that feels as good as fucking my pussy if not better! Don't stop! Don't you dare stop fucking my ass you damn wonderful human!" Her tail twitched within his hand as each thrust was greeted with a thrust of her own back towards him. Letting go of that tail, Blaze grasped her hips with both hands now as his pale cock rapidly fucked that furry ass. Each thrust created a nice slap of flesh growing louder and more rapid with each passing moment as the two lovers got into the rhythm. "Do it! Do it! Do it!" The pantherwoman chanted passionately with tears flowing from her eyes. This bliss filling her was incredible! "Uh! Uh! More! More! Ohhhh! Mooooreeee!" That keening wail signaled to the human that she was getting closer to that cascade over that cliff's edge in her body. Her eyes focused forward finally to see those wet fingers of Kali playing with herself. Licking her lips, the mature lycan grabbed the younger beauty and pulled her in close. Her fingers pulled Kali's away before spreading those pink lips for her tongue to lap at hungrily. "Oh fuck yes! Eat my pussy!" Kali moaned as she raised her ass off the ground to hump that rough tongue diving deep inside her. She wailed loudly as that tongue was so different from Blaze's and expertly hit spots only a female of Evalyn's experience would know. Blaze was living up to his name by that moment as those hard slaps were coming with each second as the toned warrior thrust into her ass. Sweat was now dripping off his body as he used that conserved energy so far through this night of sex to fuck Eva's ass to try and make her first anal experience one she would never forget. Her ass was still tight around him with those muscles milking that shaft for the prize she desperately wanted to feel fill her. Evalyn's eyes went red with animal lust as she gasped for air with each thrust before she latched onto Kali's clit and suckled hard. The catwoman went into a screaming fit at the assault on the sensitive bud and her juices flowed more freely out of her pussy. Eva's tongue swirled around that clit moments later and Kali shrieked in orgasm. "I'm cumming! Drink my cum, EVA! Yes! YES! YESSSS!" Her hand shot out to grip the back of Eva's head with a handful of hair and shove her face into her pussy, spraying her childhood friend's face and mouth with her cum. The pantherwoman moaned lustily as she hungrily swallowed Kali's sweet nectar as her body was rocked forward repeatedly from the pounding she was taking. Her breasts swayed beneath her beautifully with each thrust as her eyes looked to the sky with her unleashed primal roar of ecstasy that ripped through her. Her body jerked and clenched at Blaze's cock tightly. Her cum cascaded out of her cunt to drench the sand around her knees. Unable to resist any longer as he buried himself as deeply as he could before his cum spurted deeply into the pantherwoman's ass. Evalyn gasped as she felt his seed pour into her and fill her to seal their pact. "Oh heavens that jizm is hot," she moaned sensually. Blaze fell backwards as his chest heaved for breath as he had been putting as much effort into it as he would running a full sprint. His cock slid out of Evalyn's sweet ass with a wet pop before his rump landed on the sand. With a soft thud he fell onto his back exhausted. He looked to the sky and wiped the sweat from his eyes as he couldn't believe the turn of events the night had taken. It wasn't long before the chill of the ocean air became more noticeable to his naked, wet body. Before the human could shiver, two buxom furry bodies cozied up to him on both sides. Their warm bodies almost felt like blankets as they wrapped their legs and arms about him affectionately. "We'll keep you warm for the night so you can get some rest for tomorrow," Kali smiled to him before kissing his ear tenderly. "My life mate." "Life mate?!" Blaze blinked wide at her words and looked to the catwoman. The Hellcat lay there having already fallen to sleep in exhaustion and wouldn't be able to clarify if he had misheard. Glancing to his other side, he saw Evalyn looking at him with a sly, knowing smile. "Yes, life mate. As you are also my life mate now, dear Richard. I suppose you may have had your other head thinking for you at the time, but the pact is still binding. You took Kali's virginity and also my anal virginity. We now belong to you and your pride, lover." Oh shit.... ******************** Small tendrils of smoke from the campfires still climbed into the air as sound of distant chaos filled the air. The only other sounds were the work of the dwarves, elves, and lycans injured just enough to have to stay back from the battle for the time being. In the meantime, they worked at a feverish pace as best their injuries would allow at fletching arrows and sharpening steel-edged weaponry for their comrades to use. Blaze sighed as he walked along through the generally quiet camps far behind the front lines. Most of the elves, dwarves, and lycans had risen and formed up rank before the sun had risen in the morning hours. Silently they had moved out to the front line to ready themselves for the oncoming onslaught of Koas's army once more. He burned with frustration in not being with them out there. All of them were fighting and dying to protect their homes and those they hold dear from the invading brutality. The young warrior decided to make himself useful rather than sit around and rest with the others as they had been ordered to. He would go to those who were fletching and sharpening to ask if they needed another hand to assist them. He found out quickly that what Evalyn mentioned in the evening prior was true and many knew instantly who he was. Word had spread of the human male who has personally drawn the full wrath of the goddess that threatened their peaceful lives. They looked to him with awe and respect that made him uncomfortable as he felt he was simply doing what any good person would do. He reflected on himself that he now simply wanted to be a hero for those who needed one to fight for them. A god he was not and did not deserve such admiration. Blaze's master had often spoken how his peers had treated him like a warrior god as well. "I am nothing more than I am and such ideas only serve to inflate the ego of the unaware. That sense of fame and glory ultimately leads any warrior to ruin. Those who truly deserve such accolades are those who do not wish for it while performing their good services to their fellow man." He remembered those words well and how they made much more sense now. But seeing the hope that filled their eyes knowing they had him there and on their side was something he could not bring himself to crush by denying their feelings. Instead he sat next to them and worked with them to fletch or sharpen while sharing a few stories about his adventures. Irritatingly enough, they always seemed to get a laugh out of when he got to the parts where the ladies beat him senseless in their tantrums of jealousy. Jealousy. The thought made him remember the last evening when he walked back into camp with his new life mates. He waited for the sound beating to come but strangely enough they were not angry. In the beginning they all had a resigned look like this was simply to be expected of their human lover. The baffled Blaze could only watch in amazement as their expressions turned into pleased expressions quickly as if they were welcoming new friends into their sisterhood. Nadine was the most happy as she tightly embraced her sister in a hug that looked to crush every bit of air out of the red furred beauty. "We're both life mates now to the same man! I couldn't find a better lycan to share him with than my own little sister!" Nadine mewed as her tail swayed back and forth rapidly in her joy. Kali gasped in a breath before smiling to them all. She was apparently relieved to have been accepted by all of them. Her golden eyes looked to her older sister before a knowing smile appeared on both their faces. "Mom is so going to kill him," they both said in unison before they bubbled over in laughter. Blaze simply felt all the blood drain from his body! That thought still sent shivers running down his body. He needed to remember to bring Kendra along as an added safety measure or else be shred to pieces by the famous tigerwoman. "Are you listening to me?! Get over here now!" a harsh voice finally drew him out of his daydreaming as he walked along. The young warrior stumbled to a halt as he looked around him. It was late afternoon and the sun was beginning to get low on the horizon, turning the sky an uneasy red. Pained cries of agony filled his hearing as he looked upon dozens of bodies lying on blankets upon the ground nearby. He looked to the source to see a male elf in a red tunic trying to hold down another male elf thrashing about on a makeshift table. A stocky male dwarf powerfully held the man's legs from kicking that ultimately kept the screaming elf from falling off. He'd wandered into the medical portion of the encampment without realizing it! "I can't hold him down and work on him at the same time! Help me for bloody sake and hold down his arms!" Blaze hurried over to the elf and forcefully grabbed both the man's arms and put all his weight into holding them down. He gasped as he was taking everything he had to barely hold the elven warrior in place. Blaze grimaced as he looked down upon the exposed torso of the man beneath to see numerous jagged pieces of metal sticking out as blood readily oozed out of the wounds. The metal looked almost as if it had belonged to a sword but forcefully shattered back into his exposed body. The force to have done so must have been incredible! He soon realized why the tunic the elf who had yelled at him wore was red because he was soaked through in blood. The stern looking elf quickly grabbed a small scalpel to begin carefully cutting out each piece before quickly inspecting for any internal damage that needed addressing. He couldn't understand half of what this elven surgeon was doing with all of his tools, wrappings, and salves. But Blaze knew that every time he made a cut the elf below him howled in such horrible agony that Blaze's arms began to tremble. "W-why..." Blaze stuttered in his speech, surprised at how shaky and hoarse it sounded. "Why can't you heal him with magic?" The elven doctor shot him a fierce glare before looking back down to his work. "Magic? We don't have it and I am one of the few here trained to do this kind of work!" "How is that possible?" He heard his distant voice plead to them. The surgeon simply ignored the question while concentrating on his patient below him. The dwarf looked up to Blaze with a look of pity at the human. "Because all healers have already exhausted themselves, lad. They need rest to restore their magic but each day takes a greater toll on their ability than can be recovered. Each day their time lessens in which they can help." He couldn't believe the words he was hearing from the dwarf. He had feared magic for so long but had come to see how much it could help people in need through his journey. He owed his life many times over to magic. And when it was needed most to be the miracle they needed, it was nowhere to be found to save the life of this one person. This wasn't what he had always dreamed about as a child. Riding in as the hero to vanquish all the evil foes that dared bring harm to the innocent. By his side were others who fought with the same goal to protect those they cared about. They would decimate their enemies and all return home in triumph. All of this suffering, screaming, and blood. It was too much! It wasn't supposed to be like this! "Damn it all!" The elven surgeon growled as the elven warrior suddenly gurgled and began to spew blood in large amounts from his mouth, "His thrashing must have caused these few here on his chest to pierce his lungs!" Blaze almost recoiled away from the table as the spit up blood splashed his chest and arms. He managed to keep his trembling arms placed as the surgeon quickly set about trying to address the chest wounds. Blaze looked down and met the wide blue eyes of the elf below him finally and froze. He wanted to look away. Dear gods, he just wanted to look away but couldn't as the man's breaths become weakened in their wet, feeble gasps. Though he could not speak, the elf's eyes spoke clearly enough to Blaze. I don't want to die, they pleaded. Please don't let me die here. I want to live. Blaze wanted to will the man strength to keep fighting for life with his own eyes. He could only watch in horror as the light began to slowly fade from the elf's eyes. The light in them extinguished with one last weak exhale of breath before they stared up to him frozen in death. The surgeon's fist slammed into the table in frustration as he lost his patient despite his best attempts. It had likely been a futile effort to begin with but it was still his duty to try and save as many as he could when brought to him. He felt the comforting pat on his lower back from the dwarf assistant. He reached over to gently close the lids over those open eyes with his fingertips, "Rest now, my brother. Surely you are in a better place than this hell you have left behind." When the surgeon looked up to thank the human for his help, he blinked in surprise to see that the young man was gone. He was about to go check on the boy as he seemed troubled through this experience before a shout grabbed his attention as another injured soul was brought from the front lines. The elf sighed as he readied himself once again to try and prevent more blood from forever staining this land with his two hands. ******************** The Silver Enchantress sighed as she pushed the flap aside of her tent to quickly make her way back to helping the injured. All of the other magical healers were still resting inside their small tents to try and recover as much magic as they could. Her eyes were hardened as she had soon far too much suffering already and simply wanted this war to end with their enemy's complete destruction. Callista felt the small distant rumble of her magic's destructive power but could not reach it after that incident in the royal palace. If she could understand her magic better, she would gladly have gone to the front lines to devastate Koas's army with every killing magic she could muster. Unfortunately, that side of her magic was still a mystery to her despite her attempts to capture and harness it. The beautiful female elf had instead made use of her best talent in healing. As always she found that side of her magic to be a bottomless cave that reached down into the Abyss itself. She never seemed to exhaust the power in the slightest. The only reason she needed brief periods of rest was a more physical need than magical. Silver bangs swayed over those closed eyes as she shook her head. Who was she to have this much power? What was she? That was the question she always continued to ask herself lately. With a small huff of frustration she opened her eyes to the darkening dusk sky over the camp around her. She was very near to the medical area and needed to focus on those at hand that needed her help. A small shuffle drew her gaze down to a shadowed figured stumbling towards her in the growing darkness. It slowly stumbled forward as if in a daze while staring down at its raised arms before it. Her eyes narrowed to adjust as she quickly moved towards the figure. Someone wounded shouldn't be up and moving about like this! Her breath caught as she froze in her step when she came close enough to finally see who the figure was. Haunted, empty eyes stared through her as if she didn't exist as crimson blood dripped off arms soaked in it. In that moment, her eyes could tell what had happened and her heart simply leapt to her throat. "Blaze... Oh gods no..." ******************** Nadine chirped happily as she stuffed a few carefully wrapped bundles of dried meat and fish into a travel sack. Kali could only smile in wonder at her older sister as she hadn't changed despite her adventure. She couldn't help but envy her sister a bit as she watched her orange-haired sibling talk happily with Rae and Tyra as they gathered a few more supplies from the army's supply wagons. Nadine had made such wonderful friends in her adventure while many others awaited her back home in their village. Kali still did not have any friends outside of Dio and Evalyn. Nadine had been to different lands and seen many different places while this war had been the furthest excursion Kali had ever been on. But she was beyond jealousy now as she had learned that simply did not get her anywhere. Her dear older sister had brought the love of her life to her after all. And now she was finally Blaze's lifemate and it was something to be thankful to her sister for. Along with him came the friendships of the other women as well. "Kali!" A voice hissed to her urgently. Her golden eyes lifted to see Kaiman quickly shouldering his way past the throng of returning soldiers to them. Her smile slowly faded from her face by the stern look on the gatorman's face in his approach. What had she done wrong now? She had seen to the resting and supply preparation of Blaze's party for the next part of their journey. Those had been Dio's orders for her as a way to keep her out of the field of war for the day. At least that is what she frustratingly suspected of the orders. Rising from where she sat as the others looked to the approaching lycan as well, she began to feel a sense of panic that she had somehow done something grievously wrong and Kaiman was fetching her to receive a stern scolding from Dio. This was something she would not enjoy having to go through if it was the truth. "What is it, Kaiman?" She asked, her voice hesitating in revealing her nervousness. "I'm seeing to Blaze's group just as Dio ordered." "Follow me. Now." The gatorman simply turned after stating those words without question that they were to be obeyed and swiftly. Kali looked back to her new companions and older sister with a wary look before giving a wry smile and shrugging as she quickly fell in behind the second-in-command of the lycan army. It was almost difficult to keep up with him as he set forth with an urgent pace as he had come to her in. "Kaiman! What is this all about? I did what Dio asked. Is this about something else I've done?" She inquired nervously as she followed. The scaly back of the gatorman was her only answer as he moved forward, hissing dangerously at those that threatened to get in the way of his path. Lycans yelped and staggered out of his wrathful path. Astonished gazes followed her and Kaiman as they must be wondering as much as Kali. It was unheard of to see the normally cool and collected second-in-command in such an angry state. Right as they reached Dio's command tent, her heart leapt into her throat as she wondered if Dio had found out about her becoming Blaze's life mate. Was he furious that she had chosen to be with a human? As Kaiman pulled aside the tent flap and motioned her inside, the catwoman very nearly considered turning around and making a run for it to escape. She was not fearful of his anger, but more afraid he would be disappointed in her. To have someone she loved so dearly be disappointed in her would hurt more than any form of anger ever could. Kali still stepped inside as something compelled her to do this or regret it later. It was much worse than either anger or disappointment. "No..." she sobbed as she fell to her knees by Dio's side as he lay just inside the tent, his massive hand holding in his guts from the massive slash across his torso. Blood was pouring from the wound and she could see his breaths were already very weak. Blazing Glory Ch. 12 Kaiman entered behind her as the flap closed to the tent. He stood off to the side and gave his report. "There is still no sign of the Silver Sorceress. Those I sent to her tent and the nearby medical encampment have returned without her. I've sent them to continue searching. I have also brought Kali as you asked." The great lionman's mouth smiled sadly as he opened his eyes to look to Kaiman. "I doubt the Silver Enchantress could make it in time now by how hard it is becoming to fight off the growing darkness. But thank you. I couldn't have asked for a better friend to have had at my side for all these years." Kaiman's eyes closed and bowed his head. His shoulders shook as the grief filled the normally collected lycan. Why? Kali didn't understand why he grieved so much for his childhood friend. Dio couldn't die. He wasn't dying! She shook her head as tears stung her eyes, refusing to accept it. She closed them and began to question whether this must be really happening. It had to be a dream! "Kali?" she heard Dio's voice and she opened her eyes to see him looking at her with heavy-lidded eyes. His free hand reached to rest on hers. "It's okay..." Those whispered words of finality broke the catwoman as she burst into tears and buried her head into his shoulder. Her tears flowed freely to wet his shoulder as she desperately held onto him with her harms. "No! It's no okay!" She half-screamed into his shoulder before another sob shook her body. "Please... Don't leave me. I'm not ready..." "Neither am I," He spoke with his voice becoming weaker. "One of my wishes was that I could be there on your Vow Day when you found a good lycan male to make you happy as your life mate." Kali sniffed and raised her head as she heard those words. She nearly broke again at their meaning but held tight on those tears. She had to tell him to hopefully give him that sense of peace on the matter. She looked down at him and smiled slightly. "I have, Dio. I found him. Remember how I always told you of the human boy I loved so much. I found out last night that boy was Blaze. I mated with him last night to seal our bonds. He is so kind and loving just as I had hoped he would be." Dio's eyes widened with each of her swift words as they sunk in before he eventually smiled. "That is truly wonderful to hear. From what I have observed, he's becoming a strong and honorable man that I feel I could entrust you to his care. You both have my blessing in this." Kali wiped at more tears beginning to flow as joy now filled her that Dio approved of this when she had been so fearful he wouldn't. She gave a small laugh as she took hold of his hand. "Nadine has also given herself to him. He will be able to take care of us both, Dio." "Nadine, too? Your mother is going to kill that boy," the lionman gave a pained laugh. The catwoman choked out another small laugh as she desperately held his hand close to her chest. Her ears could tell his breathing was becoming much weaker and her hand felt his pulse slowing. "Listen now," he cut off her words, sensing the end coming as well. "Kaiman is my witness to my final orders. Kali, you are in command now of our people." Her blood went cold. The catwoman shook her head, "No. They will not accept me, Dio! They hate me. And I am no leader of a race of people. I have always isolated myself from them." "They will respect my last order," he gasped angrily before a sharp wave of pain seized him. Kali tightened her grip on his hand. "While you may be a little rough around the edges still, you have the ferocity and command about you that has the makings of a great leader. I have always seen within you something greater than you realize about yourself. As I am sure your mother has also witnessed this herself." After another pained gasp of breath, the lionman continued with a faint smile to her. "Do not try to make them to accept you. Prove yourself to them to where they will accept you of their own accord." "Dio, I..." she cried. "Make me proud, Kali," Dio's words whispered. "I've loved you like the daughter I never..." Her golden eyes widened as his words faded on the last exhale of life within his massive body before becoming still. She raised his hand within her grasp to nuzzle the fading warmth with her cheek as her body quaked silently. Moments passed before her soundless grief finally found its voice in a wordless scream that shattered the air of the lycan encampment. Minutes passed before the catwoman could regain herself from her grief. Kaiman stood nearby, leaning heavily against one the large tent's supports to keep him standing whereas his knees would not. He would respect his friend's last wishes and fully support the catwoman grieving before him. "What..." he spoke tentatively, "are your orders, Commander Kali?" "Who did it?!" The gatorman jumped slightly at the dangerous hiss filled with venom. Golden eyes looked up at him through her black bangs filled with a roaring fire of hatred and rage. "A human." He answered swiftly, knowing the intent of her question. When confusion entered the commander's eyes, he understood why she was having trouble grasping this. "Today we encountered a wave of barbarian humans instead of the usual orcs and goblins. Our reports indicate one of the humans was massive and carried a great sword with him. His weapon shattered all others as if they were defective failures pawned off by blacksmiths before he cleaved through bodies and armor with ease. We believe he may be the leader of this human faction by the war decorations he wore and the way the other humans appeared to respond to him." Kali placed Dio's hand on his chest before gently closing his eyes with her fingertips. Her fingers tenderly stroked his cheek one last time before reaching for her staff. "Then he's my prey." ******************** "Kendra!" The beautiful succubus jumped slightly out of her thoughts of their current predicament. She glanced about the moderately sized tent that one of Queen Roselei's captains had generously vacated to allow them to stay in for the time being. Sitting on the cushion on the ground, she looked around to not see the source of the voice. "Kendra! Where are you?" the voice called again. She realized it was coming from outside of the tent not too far away. Not only did she realize that, but that the voice sounded familiar along with a sense of urgency. This person was looking for her with great need and worry began to well up inside her as to the reasons why. "In here!" she called out. The demoness began to rise as she heard the approaching footsteps when the flap was thrown aside swiftly from the entrance. What she saw made her drop quickly back to her knees in shock. Her suspicions had been right as to the voice's owner as their recently attained friend Callista looked at her now while supporting Blaze over her shoulder. Her lover's arms and the shirt on his chest was soaked red with blood. His expression was hollowed with a blank stare that did not see her in front of him. She doubted by the look on his face that he could see anything before him at the moment. "Callista... By the Abyss, what happened," she spoke, surprising herself by the rising panic in her voice. The Silver Enchantress looked to Kendra pleadingly as she helped him inside the tent. The succubus rose to take him from her grasp. Her arms embraced his body close to hers and she could feel now that he was shivering nonstop. Her wings instinctively wrapped about them both as she held him close and held his head close to her chest. Her green eyes looked up to the elf for answers. "I... I found him wandering like this," the normally collected elf finally found her voice again. Tears that she had been holding back now flowed freely as she struggled to get out the words. "He came out of the medical encampment. It's... It's not a pretty sight in that area, Kendra. He must have seen all the terrible suffering there." Her emerald eyes widened with the realization of what he must have seen. Blood everywhere with torn and maimed bodies lying about. And the screams of agony. Dear gods, the screams. Memories of wars past in the centuries she had lived threatened to come back and overwhelm her after having shut them away. It was one of the things that had changed her forever despite being a demon. "He hasn't said anything this entire time. I only found you by word of mouth from soldiers," Callista continued as she wiped her tears away with a gloved hand. "Callista. Please go back to helping those in need." Kendra stated firmly before giving her elven friend a reassuring look. "I'll take care of him but I will need some privacy." The Silver Enchantress nodded with a sniff before shakily rising to step outside of the tent. Kendra embraced her lover tightly now as she pressed her lips to his head in a comforting kiss as her own tears wet his hair and cheeks. One of the attributes she loved about her Richard so much was that innocence he held deep down inside. From his youthful expressions of happiness to silly mishaps like tripping when they shocked him always made her laugh and smile. It was a part of him that was pure, uncorrupted by the taint of the real world. She knew his sense of honor and always trying his best to do what is right stemmed from that. And now that innocence was threatened to be lost forever in the shock he had witnessed. Deaths of those who wished harm on others is seen as justice served for their evil ways. But to witness the innocent and good die is something that can never be prepared for or accepted. It would be something that would haunt him forever. Nothing could change that now. What mattered now was the future that every person faced afterwards. Would Richard become a stronger man from this experience or would it destroy who he was forever? Holding him in her arms, she knew he was fighting the very battle to determine just that. "Abyss damn this world..." she sobbed hoarsely. This damn world could sometimes be no different that the demonic Abyss she came from! All of the hate, hypocrisy, cruelty, and savagery she had wanted to leave behind she found in this world as well! Her anger began rise within her like a forest fire beginning to get out of control. Her eyes slowly began to take on a green glow as her fangs began to elongate. Her wings grew with her rage towards the world until they could fully encompass her and Richard as if to shield them both. "I could destroy them," she whispered to herself harshly in the dark with him. "I could destroy all of Koas's army out there with ease in the most horrific deaths they deserve for this!" Her anger was nearing the point of exploding when the earth beneath them shifted violently in a brief, but powerful earthquake that lasted mere seconds. The startled cries of panic and confusion of the people around her brought Kendra out of her rage. Her breath came in short gasps as she struggled to calm herself and release the anger. Slowly her body reverted back to normal as she held him. Too close... Her body had shivered at how close she had come to doing just as she had said. But it would come at such a high cost. She did not want to suffer through what using her powers would cause in consequence. Better to restrain her growing powers so she could remain by Richard's side. She loved him so much and couldn't imagine one moment of being without him. They had come so far together after all. When she looked down to her lover, he was still in the same state before as he struggled to come to terms with what he had witnessed. She released him from her embrace as she decided to help him by removing the blood from his body. She quickly removed his shirt over his head and tossed it into a corner of the tent. Grabbing one of the water canteens the captain had left for her, she soaked a wash cloth in the water. Time passed slowly and quietly as the succubus tenderly wiped and scrubbed at his chest and arms to remove the blood. Kendra thought it must certainly be an odd sight if someone were to walk in and see a demon so carefully tending to a human as she was. Wonders never cease now do they, she thought to herself with a smile. She had gone through a few more cloths before his hand moved to grasp hers. "Kendra," he spoke. Her green eyes looked up to see his and widened at what she saw. Richard's eyes were not those of a broken man but hardened as steel. Within those depths she could see resolve and determination in solid foundation of his mind. Even more so was the fire that was burning with the same fury at the injustice that had burned within her not long before when she held him. She couldn't help but smile in relief to him. "Thank you," he said as he smiled in return to her before it faded away as his serious expression returned. His gaze turned to the tent's exit for a moment before speaking. "Please send for the others Kendra. We are all going to have an important talk this eve." A wicked smile curved the lips of the demoness as she already began to know what was on her man's mind. She rose to make her way just outside where she grabbed one of the guards and sent him to fetch the others where Kali had taken them. When her friends returned after a dozen or so minutes had passed, they gathered inside around the human that had brought them all together. After listening to his words, their eyes held a similar determination and grimness. "Alright then," Blaze said in finality. "We'll begin in the morning." ******************** Koas hummed pleasantly to herself as she walked in gliding steps from the window in her room to sit upon her throne of carved skulls. She was in a very good mood by the way she smiled brightly. Any onlooker would view the smile of one of pure joy that must have come from any good soul enjoying the moment of happiness. She looked almost giddy enough to giggle like a school girl and skip across the room. They would be appalled that such ecstatic state came from such an evil, malicious intent. "Finally!" she exclaimed as she fell back into her throne before throwing her head back to laugh in merriment. "It is about time to move on with this." Lexiss had left the room just a few minutes before after giving her report. Her force of evil races was expected to finally overwhelm the smaller annoyance of Queen Roselei's ragtag army of elves, dwarves, and lycans. The goddess had to admit she was impressed at their tenacity to have lasted this long against such an incredible force without breaking down and fleeing at the futility of their efforts. It was beginning to annoy her! The dark goddess leaned forward from her throne as she pulled the crystal ball upon its pedestal closer to her to give her a good view of what she desired to see. The orb lit the dark room before being lit with the orange glow of the sun having risen not long ago in the east above the waters of the Sonel Sea. Her glowing red eyes looked at Roselei's army standing ready not more than a mile outside of their own encampment. Their backs were truly against the sea and they would be crushed or drowned! Her red eyes glowed with the hunger to see the sight of such savage anarchy as they were killed. Oh the glorious chaos it would be! She moaned slightly in pleasure in her eagerness to hear their screams. With their destruction, the winged fools who worshipped Stavros and the pathetically small humans would be all that remained to resist her. They would fall easily enough. Her fingers laced together in front of her in anticipation as her forces began to cross the miles of distance between them with their bloodthirsty cries of triumph as they too knew the pitiful state of those who had resisted them for so long. Koas looked back to the smaller army in hopes of seeing the panic beginning to take form and see them scatter like bugs. Her smile evaporated at the unusual sight see saw next. "Nooooo!" she hissed in a pained groan as frustration before screaming in rage. "How is this possible!?" Her red eyes, moments before glowing in their joyful malice, now turned white with unbridled hatred and rage. The goddess's hands on her skull armrests of her cherished throne crushed the ghastly heads and their grins to dust. This could change everything! Despite the logic that her forces would still be overwhelming enough to win, the goddess knew that fate was playing its hand. It was anyone's guess now on who would emerge the victor. Lightning flashed across the sky in a chaotic maelstrom in reaction to her howling rage from the fact that certain victory was no longer in her grasp. Her hands seized the crystal ball as she glared with incensed hatred into it. "I hope they kill you, Blaze," she hissed with lips trembling in fury. "Or else I swear I will do so myself!" ******************** The army of elves, dwarves, and lycans stood in formation solemnly as the sun rose to their backs. They all simply stood there waiting calmly for the axe from the executioner to fall. No charging into one last fight. Their demoralization was complete and spirits broken. Many of them thought of home as others prayed to the gods with their wishes. Every face was long with the finality that it was the end of everything. They were barely a mile outside of the encampment and word was leaked to spread like wildfire amongst the army from Roselei's strategists. They would not be able to hold back before the end of the day and be crushed against the Sonel Sea. The nail in the coffin was the word that the great lionman of the lycans had died the night before from his injuries. Dio had been well respected by all of the races present as they all knew that he was as kind at heart as a person as he was fierce as a warrior. The loss of their leader had left many lycans to howl and cry mournfully into the night. Queen Roselei wiped a tear from the corner of her eyes as she looked out into the distance from which Koas's army would come. Dio had been a good friend to her. Should they live through this horrible war, she vowed to build a beautiful memorial to him in the elven fashion with the utmost honor. Shifting slightly upon her horse, she gazed out along the lines of good men and women in front of her. Her keen elven sight picked out the new leader of the lycan forces making her way to the front line and the elf's heart ached for the woman. Kali moved towards the front line by shouldering her way through at first before others began to move aside when they witnessed her coming. Tears still wet the fur on her cheeks, but her eyes were hardened and her normally confident demeanor was now one of contained fury. The announcement of Dio's death had also come with his final command to them to follow her as the new commander. At first they were confused and unsure about following the Hellcat into battle. But word spread just as swiftly of her intense grief through the night while staying by Dio's side and it softened their negative views of her. Many had grudgingly admitted respect to her prowess on the battlefield with her staff before this event. Now sympathetic to her loss, they remembered her ferocity over the days that have passed and many soon accepted this. Their hands reached out to touch her arms and shoulders in silent display of sympathy and support. The catwoman paid them no specific mind but was silently grateful for it. But her mind had one focus now as she stepped out in front of the lead line of lycan warriors. Her cat ears twitched slightly as they caught the sound of distant war drums sounding the beginning the massive force's movement towards them. Her hackles raised as her fist tightened upon her staff. "Kill them," she hissed lowly in trembling fury. "Fucking kill them all!" Scores of angry growls and hisses rumbled behind her as they shared the same sentiment and would do as the lycan commander wished. For it was their deepest wish as well to avenge Dio with their wrath. When they quieted, Kali heard another sound that drew her gaze swiftly down the line of the Roselei's united forces to the dwarves. Many were turning with a growing hum of murmurs and wonderings as they looked behind. What she saw made her gasp in shock.

It was beyond anything she had ever experienced in her existence. Afraid of the growing light coming with more agony, she fled further into the darkness. She dove deeper into the abyssal depths before sighing with relief as the pain disappeared. Yet she continued further into the darkness out of fear that the light would find her once again to bring back the unbearable pain. Emerald green eyes opened to look in the mirror. She looked at beautiful young blonde staring back to her with those same eyes. Soft, almond bronzed skin encompassed by red leather corset pushing up breasts that would become much larger with time. The right corner of her mouth turned upward into a confident and sensual smile. Her tongue ran along the length of those supple lips as she felt her hunger for the night beginning to rise once more. "Keep making love to yourself in the mirror like that and I am likely to get jealous," a male voice spoke behind her with a chuckle. Kendra's gaze shifted to look at the young man lying comfortable on the bed. He was a good looking fellow of decent height with his blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He gave her wink before sitting up to begin putting on his usual plain sailor clothing. They had both finished another nightly romp in the bed to satisfy her youthful cravings. She had seduced men of greater monetary stature or physical appearance than him. Yet this one was different. She discovered that he was a rarity worth keeping alive. "A delectable idea if it were possible to sexually ravage another me. I am also sure you would enjoy watching," she hummed teasingly to his as she began fixing her hair. "Or join in for that matter, Adrian." He only smiled in return to her. She sighed in contentment as she thought about how she was ready to kill him when they first met as another victim to satiate her hunger. Expecting to be fawned over like a possession to be put on a pedestal or a sexual relief for men and nothing more, she was surprised by him when she made her move. "I am lucky enough to be with just one of you," Adrian said as he sat up, his eyes roaming over her body clad in a blood red dress hugging her every curve. "I often ask myself that same question about being with a succubus and still live." "Because you are different," she replied as she turned around to face him with a knowing smile. "You treated me with so much kindness and respect. No man has ever behaved like you have in my presence. The fact that you are incredible with that tongue of yours is an added bonus." Of course, she had intended to kill him still. Yet he was a curiosity to her and she found herself delaying his inevitable end. Yet Kendra found herself growing fond of him as the weeks turned into months. Instead of moving on to other towns, she surprised herself by staying longer in this Shoushan port to wait for his merchant ship to come back. "Here," Adrian spoke after finishing tying his boots. Drawn out of her thoughts, Kendra's gaze drifted to the wrapped box he pulled out from underneath the bed. "I bought this for you on my way from the docks." "Adrian," she gasped and shook her head. "You did not have to! When did you bring this in anyway?" "I'm not surprised you didn't notice it with the way your legs and lips were all over me the moment I came through the door," the sailor laughed before placing it in her hands. "Go on and open it." Kendra sighed in resignation as she looked down to the medium sized box. Humans were such odd creatures to feel the need to give trinkets to one another. A gift to an immortal demon would only be lost with time. There was no merit in her desiring one. Seeing the eager expression on his face, she resigned herself to get it over with. The succubus was forced to admit a part of her was pleasantly surprised. Hesitating as to what to do since she had never been given a gift before, the succubus tore the wrapping off along with the top half of the box. "A whip?" she looked up to him with an arched brow, pulling out the long brown cord. It was finely crafted and held an impressive weight to her. A slow smirk grew on those lips. "Adrian. I did not figure you were that type. I would have purchased straps to tie you down with as well if I had known." The sailor blinked for a moment before her words finally made sense to him. Adrian blanched and waved his hands frantically to stave off the approaching succubus with her leering gaze. "No! No! Anything but that!" He stammered out quickly. "I got that for you and the girls you work with. I happened to come across this shop that had them and remembered you expressing your desire to make the shows more wildly entertaining for the audience." Kendra stopped stalking him around the room as she remembered, This seedy little port had its own red district where she worked at an erotic show for men to come watch and enjoy. Sometimes the women would perform sensual dances for them while slowly removing their clothing. Other parts of the show included the performers having sex on stage. She had licked many of her friends to a screaming orgasm as the audience cheered. One Shoushan woman and friend in particular named Talia loved to play submissively to Kendra on the stage. The succubus had to admit there was a sexual charge running through her body as Talia moaned and referred to Kendra as her mistress. This gift would be an excellent prop for their domination routine. "Adrian... I..." Kendra stopped to collect herself. Why was she feeling these emotions rise up within her? Why would her eyes tear up over such a ridiculous gift? She knew the answer. It was a gift from Adrian. Nothing more mattered than that. "Thank you. I will cherish it always." Kendra wiped her eyes and stepped forward to press her lips against his lovingly. He embraced her and returned her affection. The demoness knew she would not return to her world for some time now. The succubus no longer hungered for his life. She had come to think of him fondly and would remain in this world as long as he lived. "I need to return to the ship," he whispered after breaking their kiss. She moaned in frustration as she could feel the heat rising in his body. He was moments away from tossing her on the bed and making her howl in bliss for the second time that night. "Why? Stay for just a little longer," she purred as she nibbled on his lip. Kendra nearly stomped her foot as he pulled away. "I have night watch on the ship this evening," he said with regret in his voice. "I will be late if I do not leave here soon. Have fun with your gift tonight. You can tell me how it went tomorrow morning." Kendra watched him go with longing in her body. She doubted any man would ever make her feel like Adrian did physically and emotionally. After coming to the realm, she had quickly grown tired of this world with its people easily turning on each other. She had come to expect the worst in everyone she met, just as her mother had forewarned. Adrian had changed that worldview for her. Even when she had expressed her disapproval of this world, he expressed his own positive view. He understood that the world was far from perfect, but he loved it nonetheless. Adrian made it a point to tell her of the sights he would see around the world and the good people he met. Kendra found herself staring at the whip as she thought of his constant optimism. This gift to her was a symbol of the potential for those in this world to care for one another. To accomplish so much together in making the world better than it was. It influenced her to look at the world in a different perspective than hers. She opened up her mind and began to see to beautiful side of the world. Her friendship with Talia would not have occurred without her new attitude. It was all because of him. "Damn it to the Abyss," she whispered as she realized it was getting late. Kendra swiftly finished her hair before grabbing the whip and stepped outside the door. She could hear a thunder roll in the distance that encouraged her hurry before it began to rain. The last thing she needed was to show up with her hair a mess. It only took her a few minutes of slipping through the alleyways of the port to where she performed. The men of the port did not bother her as many had witnessed her performances. They often protected her from anyone wishing to do harm. Her change in perspective allowed her to see this. Even though she did not require their protection, she was grateful for it still. Gasping as she felt the first few cold droplets hit her before she slipped inside the back door, Kendra stepped into the bustle of the women's area as they prepared themselves for the night's show. She hesitated before moving into the throng. Something was different in the air of the room. The girls looked less happy. Their bodies' movements were tense when they should be relaxed. Talia waved her over quickly to the dressing room. "Thank Stavros you got here safely," the Shoushan beauty said with great relief as she ran her hand through her short blue hair. "Talia? What is with you and everyone here?" Kendra asked with trepidation. "There has been another murder at the docks. They found the body this morning. It was one of our door guards, Locke," Talia whispered, the fear evident in those soft brown eyes. "All the girls are frightened that this killer will look to one of us next." Kendra's eyes closed as she leaned back against the wall. There had been a series of murders over the past few weeks that had shaken the people of the city. She had killed in this port before meeting Adrian but spaced the timing out to avoid arousing suspicion. They would appear as a normal murder every now and then, as to be expected. Yet the killings over the past couple of weeks troubled her as much of the people here. One murder every night with the gruesome mutilated bodies found floating in the waters around the docks. Every attempt by the authorities to find and capture this killer was unsuccessful. Kendra began to worry these events could make others suspect her since she was known to not be a native of this area. Her hands tightened on the whip as she listened to the frightened whispers of the other girls about their fear for their male customers and lovers. Kendra's breath froze in her lungs. Her eyes widened as she began to tremble as the panic welled up inside her. She had not told him! Adrian had said tonight he was on the first watch for his ship. "Kendra? What's wrong?" Talia called after her as she rushed out the door into the pouring rain. Her wings tore through the back of the dress as she propelled herself high into the air above the city. The wings beat rapidly to keep her airborne in the rain as lightning arced across the sky. Kendra cursed herself for losing to her passions upon first seeing him. She should have warned him. Her flight only took moments to reach the docks where some of the ships were moored. Kendra spotted the ship Adrian worked on as part of the crew. Her wings tucked into a sharp dive before fanning out to halt her rapid descent as she landed on the beach. She could not see him on the deck as her eyes frantically searched about. "Adrian? It's Kendra! Adrian, please answer me," she called out in the darkness. It was hard to see between the flashes of lightning. She may have overlooked him. "I have to warn you about a murderer here in the port!" "You should have warned him alright," a voice called out, but not from the ship. The feminine voice came from the water. She looked toward the source as a bright flash of lightning illuminated the world around them. The demoness saw in that illumination a beautiful woman holding a helpless Adrian by his neck with her hands as they both faced her. They were out in knee depth water as the waves splashed against their bodies. What terrified her was the look she saw in that woman's eyes. Madness. "Who are you?" She cried out in both anger and fear. "Sonora Keeya," the woman spoke as her grip tightened to silence Adrian as he tried to speak to Kendra. "I am the siren of these shores. It is nice to finally meet the whore taking my prey from me." "Your prey?" Kendra tried to grasp what Sonora was getting at before her heart sank with the realization. Sirens were similar to succubae in their hunger for men. She had unwittingly stepped into what this siren viewed as her territory. The demoness now comprehended the seriousness of her transgression. "I knew eventually I would draw you out if I killed enough men. You're a thief I will take great pleasure in tearing apart," Sonora spoke above the occasional rumble of thunder. "Please... let him go," Kendra cried out, panic causing her voice to shake. She took a step forward but stopped as pained gasp escaped from Adrian. "Oh? The young succubus has a favorite? Fortune smiles upon me this evening," Sonora laughed musically. Her smile turned into an insane sneer. "All the better to make you suffer then." "Why are you doing this? I am no threat to you, Sonora. You can surely lure many men at sea where I am unable to go," Kendra said quickly, desperately trying to reason with the woman. "Why?... Why?," the siren's voice shook with growing fury. The beautiful face of the woman turned hideous with hatred as the lightning flashed to match her furor. "You have no idea the shame I endured. Revealing myself to men at sea, singing to them, doing my utmost to lure them into my grasp. Admire me they did, but succumb they did not. I learned with time by following these crews that there was a woman whose beauty they all longed to see in this port. How they spoke longingly of her blonde hair and tanned skin being more exotic, body more voluptuous, and eyes so captivating. I cannot believe they thought my beauty inferior to a little strumpet of a demon. You damn bitch!" Those last words were screamed with such hatred that Kendra shook with terror. She did not know what to do with Adrian in Sonora's grasp. Could she act quickly enough? She didn't think she could as she fought back the tears. Adrian looked into her eyes and managed a small smile for her. As if sensing her thoughts, the siren simply smirked. "Sonora Keeya. Burn that name into your mind for all eternity along with this," the woman laughed insanely. Pain filled those blue eyes of her human lover. Kendra screamed as she watched Sonora's sharp nails sink into his neck before she abruptly ripped head from body. Adrian's body tumbled bloodily into the surf. The succubus couldn't feel anything as she looked on with horror. Her body had become numb with shock. Sonora spit in her direction before tossing the head to land in the sand at her feet with a wet, sickening thud. Mocking laughter filled her ears before disappearing with the siren into the sea after another brilliant flash. Kendra could only back away a few feet. Her eyes could not look away from what she did not want to see. New emotions ripped through her very being as she sank to her knees. Why did she feel this way? She had killed hundreds of men since entering this realm. Why should the death of one more cause this? Never had she experienced this burning pain within her chest. Memories could not be recalled of ever feeling her lungs frozen rendering her unable to draw breath. Her body hunched over as the pain spread throughout her body. A foreign pain outside her internal agony brought her gaze to her lap. Through blurry vision she saw white-knuckled fists clenching the whip. His gift to her. She now knew why. She had broken the one rule a succubus should always abide by and prevent from occurring. The very thing her mother warned her not do before leaving for this realm. It was amazing how she had not realized it happening and influencing her actions all this time. Kendra had more than thought fondly of him. She had truly loved Adrian. Frozen breath finally found voice as the pained scream silenced the thunder around the port. The demoness could not stop the wails of grief that shook her chest as they escaped her. Rain mixed with tears running down her face as she screamed at the sky until she became hoarse. Her sobs eased as time passed, though she could not comprehend how long she had knelt on the beach in the darkness and rain. She burned the siren's image and name into her mind as the siren had wished. Kendra's grief gradually changed into a new burning within her chest. Kendra's mind ignited with hatred and murderous intent. The sand around her began to melt and glow. Rain droplets turned to steam when they fell upon her skin. Her breath now escaped in a low hiss between to two fangs that had elongated. Those soft lips trembled as anger exploded into her mind. She would stay in this world. The succubus will eventually find her prey. Her mind played out the delectable tortures she would render with such bloodlust that all the hellspawn of the Abyss itself would be astonished. Unable to contain her rage within her any longer, the demoness shattered the skies above with her scream. The black and red flames erupted from her body into an explosion that obliterated the existence of everything within her proximity. The rainclouds races away in all directions from the shockwave to allow moon and stars to gaze down at her grief and fury with pity. The succubus slumped forward as the unleashed power left her breathless. Her body trembled as she slowly recovered. What had just happened to her? Looking up as she tried to gather her wits about her, Kendra froze in disbelief. Her green eyes could not comprehend at first the distance which the crater spread out from her at the epicenter. Small bits of ash rained all around her and upon her body. She could see at least a couple thousand yards in all directions. Water from the sea began to crash over the lip to claim the deep hole in the earth she had created. "No," she whispered tearfully with the realization. Her body trembled with horror as she looked behind her to see only a tree line burning in the distance before a pained cry escaped from her. What had she done? She had destroyed the whole port! Talia and everyone else were dead. Their blood was on her hands because she had lost control of her power. Her 'gift' as her mother would call it. Tears streamed down Kendra's face once again as she could only cry in grief and self-hatred. So lost in her emotional turmoil, the succubus was not aware of the other presence until a harsh slap stunned her out of her stupor. "Kendra! For the love of the Abyss, wake up! We have to go now," a familiar voice yelled through her confusion. "Sister!" "Morgana?" Kendra gasped with final recognition of her older sister's voice. Her dazed vision focused upon the familiar features of her sibling. Morgana shared the same color of skin, but that is one of the few traits they shared. Her sister's long hair was not a pale blonde but a curly raven black. One of many traits she inherited from their father, including his angular features and tall height. Her outfit was similar to Kendra's, but her older sister always preferred white leather to black. "How did you find me?" Blazing Glory Ch. 13 Her older sister rose swiftly as her eyes looked down to her with a mixture of relief and anger. Her hand clasped the jewel in the shape of black teardrop at her chest. "How could I not after that display of power? Half the bloody realm must have been shaken to its knees. I am glad I was nearby after having spent weeks tracking you down to bring you home. It allowed me to find you before they did but we must go now!" "Why? Who is coming?" Kendra asked, starting to feel nauseous from the blowback from exerting so much of her demonic energy. She watched her sister closing her eyes as she swiftly chanted the incantation before the space in front of Morgana seemed to fold in upon itself before splitting open into a round portal of blackness. Kendra now recognized the jewel as one of the talismans that help demons return to the Abyss. "The gods!" Her older sister yelled as the panic started to come through her voice, her violet eyes glancing about as if afraid they were already there. Morgana was truly in fear for both their lives. The gods would surely have felt her power and know that she was the prophesized destroyer of their world. They would be racing to find her and end her existence. "No more time to talk!" Morgana yelled as she yanked Kendra up by her arm. The older succubus could have overpowered her little sister if she tried to resist. However, Kendra was far too weak with grief and fear as her sibling shoved her through the portal before leaping in after. Stumbling into the demonic realm, Kendra looked behind her in desperation as she watched her older sister quickly leap through before it snapped shut. Her breath caught in her throat as she now felt completely cut off from that world. The world she realized too late she had come to care for was cut off from her. She could still feel the hard leather whip in her one hand as her only link to it now. It was the world he had loved. Kendra glanced about as Morgana collected her breath a few feet from her, the anxiety and fear leaving her. She recognized the room they were in as one of the portal entry rooms of the palace. Her home. Her world. The realm that contained the ruler wishing for her to destroy Adrian's world. Grief and shock once again became replaced with growing anger. Yet this time it was more focused intent as she swiftly started walking out into the large hallway. "Kendra?" came Morgana's surprised voice from the room she had left, her footfalls echoing her struggle to catch up. "Where are you going?" "To speak for myself for the first time in my life," she spoke in anger, the glow gradually returning to her eyes with every stride. Even now she was fetched like some misplaced weapon from the armory. Was that all she was to her mother? The idea that her mother would have so little faith in her infuriated her. Morgana coming to check on her would have been fine. But to haul her back home like a loosed dog hurt her deeply. The only reason she could reason her mother had done so was that the time was drawing near to destroy the other realm. A world she no longer wished to. Her ears did not hear the pleading voice of Morgana as her older sister knew the destination this route was taking them. The black ornate doors rising thirty feet in height loomed closer as she strode up to them. The two equally tall demonic monsters that guarded the entry watched her approach with apprehension. Even if they had been instructed to block the princess from entry, the look in her eyes convinced them that would be a fatal mistake. The air around her crackled with power by the time she reached the towering doors and reared her right leg up. Her foot slammed into the door with an loud bang. The massive structure snapped easily from the entryway to fly into the throne room. The young demoness stepped inside as it came crashing down onto the floor with a thunderous explosion of noise and tremor shaking the castle's wing. Startled voices rose in front of her as the dust and debris settled. "What is the meaning of this intrusion?" a familiar seductive voice spoke over the commotion. Feminine as it was, it boomed with the authoritative quality that would give many beings, including immortals, reason to hesitate doing anything rash. Kendra moved towards the rising figure of her mother from the throne without pause. Kendra would normally be screaming at herself to run for her very existence at what she just had done. The ruler of the demons had power that exceeded that of demi-gods by a wide margin. Some even believed she had crossed that line to ascend into the true immortal ranks of godhood. Kendra was the younger and nearly identical version of the Queen Succubus but with her mother having longer blonde hair cascading down to her calves. Her mother was the very image of beauty that would drive men insane just from the sight of her. A voluptuous figure of large breasts, narrow waist, and shapely hips and ass that would make Aphrodite green with jealousy. Those deep violet eyes glowered angrily but were also mixed with the emotions of confusion and relief upon seeing her daughter. "Kendra! I am seeing to important matters here at the moment for your ascension. Leave this room at once and we will discuss your actions later in private," her mother commanded firmly. She looked from her mother to see that some of the demon aristocracies were present. She strode past their shocked gazes to the base of the dais, looking her mother in the eye. "The hell I will," she hissed in answer. A collective gasp filled the throne room before silence quickly followed as all eyes watched the escalating confrontation. Kendra could see her mother's gaze flicker towards the onlookers for a split second before glaring down at her daughter. Her resolve almost faltered under the withering look from her mother. The Queen of Demons could not afford to show any weakness in front of those present. "You dare disrespect Queen Sonia you spoiled brat?" One of the high ranking demons spoke up out of the silence. Kendra remembered this one as one of the pathetic panderers trying to cull her mother's favor. Apparently the fool thought standing up to a soon-to-be-disposed offspring in front of Sonia would win him approval over the other nobles. Kendra's eyes barely registered the black flash from her mother's body. The demon gasped before his body split in half head to groin in a bloody explosion of gore. The other demons shrank back under the gaze of Sonia. There were to be no further interruptions. "Come again... little one?" her mother said quietly with the last words carefully emphasized, her bloody demonic tail retracting to her body to disappear under the black dress. Her mother was like a coiled snake, ready to strike in a moment's notice. "You heard me. They heard me as well! I am not going to leave until you fully understand what I want for myself," Kendra answered as her resolve strengthened. No more deferment to her mother's wishes or commands would be allowed. Even if she was killed right then by her mother, she would be heard for once in her life. "I refuse to do it. Nothing you can say or do will convince me to destroy his world!" The stunned silence that filled the large room was deafening as her mother looked to her with shock. She could see Sonia's conflicting emotions racing through her eyes as she debated punishing her daughter or seeking understanding. Those eyes lit up briefly in comprehension before narrowing. "Will not destroy 'his' world?" Her mother sighed with disappointed expression, shaking her head as it all became clear. "I warned you not to fall in love in their world to protect you for this very reason, Kendra! It is a one-sided affair that never ends well. He would never have truly loved you in return." "No he-" Kendra spoke up in protest. "He was a man! They only love the sex! Not you!" Her mother shouted down at her with her own anger rising. "Not Adrian!" she yelled back. "YES!" Her mother's voice finally boomed making all take a step back including her daughter. "Even him! I do not know what sweet whispers or promises of a happy future he spoke of, but I know they are all lies. All men lie to women just so they can have their way with us. If they cannot, then they take it by force and rape their women. Outside of sex, they keep women under their heel. Women are never granted power or equal status." "No... I..." Kendra stammered as tears stung her eyes. Her anger began to falter under this assault as every word seemed to be a blow to her resolve. She looked down to the whip and clutched at it tightly. It was her last link. She did not want to lose it. This was not lost on her mother. "I suppose that is a gift from him? A petty mortal object used to win you over to their selfish desires. Thinking that we can be won so cheaply just illustrates their unworthiness," Sonia sighed as her anger eased some. She looked upon her daughter with pity. "How do you think we succubae came to be the most powerful among demon kind? Man's insatiable desire for sex feeds us. Their souls are merged with our own to make our power stronger. Their bestial desires to mate with us without remorse or care have served as a wealth of power I have ensured for our race." "But.." Kendra weakly tried to protest. "No, Kendra. There is no arguing as you know this to be true as well. The time is near to absorb their realm and forever solidify that power as our own" Sonia said as she walked down to her daughter, her arms wrapping about the young succubus in a motherly hug. Kendra's head leaned into the familiar warmth. "Human filth such as that man would never have given the love worthy of my daughter." Eyes snapping open with those words, Kendra's anger came back like an avalanche roaring down the mountainside. She forcibly broke their embrace by shoving herself back from her mother. Sonia was at a loss as she appeared to have thought her daughter brought back to reason. But the Queen of Demons was not there when he died. She hadn't seen the look Kendra had seen in Adrian's eyes. Those eyes had told her that his final moments were only to look at her with the memories of the time they shared together. That one special man had loved her, not for her body and pleasure only. "Yes... The men of that world are disgusting in their selfish greed. But I found one that was not as you say. If I could find one, then there are likely others, present and future generations, worthy enough to find the love that I just lost. He would have said the same for those in the world he loved. A world I refuse to destroy." Sonia's patience had surpassed the breaking point and her right hand lashed out the slap some sense into her child. The queen gasped as her hand was stopped by the powerful grip of Kendra's hand. The air crackled with the magic surrounding Kendra now as she stared her mother down. "Don't try to stop me from leaving... or I will unleash my 'gift' in this realm," she hissed. Doing so would destroy them all into complete nothingness. The demons around them shrank away from mother and daughter as if that threat was about to come true. "Don't try to find me either." "Kendra...," her mother whispered desperately to her, the queen's eyes brimming with tears. "Goodbye," Kendra spoke, barely able to restrain the emotion in her voice as she let her mother go. The young succubus turned around and swiftly strode away as quickly as she had come. She managed a small smile to Morgana as she passed her dumbstruck older sister. Her sibling looked to be torn from all of this happening so quickly. Kendra could only hope Morgana would eventually forgive her. Stepping through the doorway, the succubus used one sharp nail to slice open her palm as she walked. Her wounded hand gripped her whip to let the blood flow over it. Eyes closing with concentration, she used the power coursing through her blood to fuse with Adrian's gift. The whip became crimson red, now forever a part of her being. A reminder of her resolve to never destroy his world, avenge his death, never to return home. Stepping into the portal room, she quietly picked up one of the talismans from the pedestal. After a moment and a few quiet words, the portal opened back to Adrian's world. The young succubus stepped into the bright light of the rising sun. And with that light came the pain... ******************** "Wake up! You've had plenty of time to have recovered," came an angry growl as the room was filled with the crack of the savage slap across her face. Kendra's eyes opened and focused on the large figure of Merodach towering above her. The red-skinned demon looked down at her with disgust filling those unholy yellow eyes. The memory of her experience long past faded swiftly as those of recent events came rushing forward. How dare he take her from Richard! Emerald eyes opening wide with fury, she lunged forward at him with a hateful scream! "Merodach! You bast-" her voice began before being cut off painfully as she crashed to the ground. The succubus grasped at her neck as she coughed from the agony. Her fingers found a metallic collar around her neck. Her gaze followed the long length of the chain from her collar to the stone wall. She glared at Merodach and tightened her fists about the collar to tear it from her neck. The demon simply stood there with his arms across his chest as he watched her. A growing sense of panic began to well up within her as she could not break the metal nor pull the chain from the wall. She should have been able to do so with ease! Merodach sighed with impatience as he glowered down at her, "Are you finished?" "What is this?" She demanded as her fingers frantically pulled at the collar around her neck. "That, my dear, is what your mother gave to me to help safely bring you back when I found you. Albeit, it took them some time to forge it. It took them decades to research on how to make something like it to begin with," He answered her matter-of-factly. "To put it simply, it has not only locked away your freedom but your powers as well." "My powers? Impossible!" She shouted angrily. How could her mother do this to her once again? Had she not understood her warning? For that matter, did she not even care about what her daughter wished for in life? She struggled once more but her strength was not there. The demoness glared at Merodach, trying to cover the panic rising within her from the vulnerability she was feeling. "Do not worry. Your mother wanted to ensure certain safeguards were made along with this collar. Your immortality is still in place. Despite being unable to use your succubae powers to seduce and kill men, your body retains its ability to adapt and heal. This is all for the purpose of bringing you back to the Queen Succubus safely." "Then tell me, Mero. Why am I still here and not back home in the Abyss?" she snapped in retort. She was in a large room lit only by the dim light of a few torches. Enclosed as she was, she knew the feeling of existing in the Abyss. It was not where she was at the present. He was keeping her in the normal world for some reason. It was something that she was not likely going to like. "Very perceptive of you, Kendra," Merodach chuckled as he paced in front of her. "I fully intend to make you destroy this realm before we leave." "What makes you think I would ever do such a thing? I even told my mother that I would not," Kendra said. She was amazed at his foolishness in thinking she would willingly destroy Richard and her friends. "Oh... I know you won't," the demon growled at her. "I was there that day of your little tantrum spat with the Queen. I heard your words. But who said you would not destroy the world unwillingly?" "What?" The word slipped from her as Kendra was confused at his statement and confident sneer. Merodach raised his hand slightly, exerting a small part of his demonic powers to light the other torches within the room. Emerald eyes opened wide as the darkness was lifted. Eyes glancing all about, she saw nothing but various demons surrounding her. More importantly, she recognized who these demons were. "No! You wouldn't dare!" The room was filled with at least two dozen demons, if not more since she could not see past them. They all ranged in various forms out the worst nightmares mankind dreamt of. Each demon was branded on their bare chest of two crescent moons intertwined. It was a symbol of the demons given the specific task to sexually violate those who had committed perverse crimes against others when they were alive. Thus they were condemned to an eternity of sexual torture in the Abyss in recompense. They wore no clothing as they were often proud to display the massive appendages dangling between their legs. "Yes, I will dare. There are more than enough demons here to make a succubus go mad with the sexual energy. I will have these eager comrades rape you until your mind breaks from the pleasure. You will be constantly violated even after your resistance has been lost. So much so that I will withdraw them until you beg for them to return and promise to do whatever I say," He stated simply before shrugging. Kendra looked at him with growing horror. This was no idle threat he was making against her. She would be unable to kill these demons with her powers suppressed. "No.. I.." Before she could say anything more, Mero cut her off angrily as he walked towards the exit, "You could have gone along with the Queen's plans, Kendra! Now I will make the most of your folly and use this opportunity to increase my influence and power in our realm." The demons parted for him as finally reached the heavy metal door. "You filthy scumbag," Kendra spat angrily as her fury was growing with every word Mero spoke. Yet she could not feel her powers coming forward. "You think my mother will accept me coming back broken? You are such a fool to not think this through." Mero paused at her words after having opened the door. He glanced back and gave her a smile that sent chills down her spine. "Whoever said you would make it back to the Abyss alive?" Her mind reeled at this as he left her with these demons. The bastard fully intended to break her, use her powers to his own gain, and then toss her aside like a broken tool. He had thought this through well enough that she said no more. If she was in the realm she was targeting with her powers, she would also be destroyed in the cataclysm. He would flee and leave her to die. All the while having a well-concocted tale to explain it to her mother, such as her losing her temper and control upon finding out their plans. "Kendra Tansanee. How I have longed to claim your perfect body," came a feminine voice as a slightly smaller figure stepped out of the group of behemoth demons. The familiar form made Kendra shiver in fear. To think that Mero would go so far as to include Ezrias on this! The green skinned beauty looked down at her with a satisified smile as lust filled her eyes. Waves a dark green hair cascaded down her back behind the large wings extending from her back. Her chest heaved with her increased breathing from her excitement, large breasts swaying with nipples erect. She was one of the demon lords in charge of Crescent Moon legion. An individual who delighted in the sexual perversions of all kinds. "Ezrias," Kendra spoke, doing her best to keep her voice trembling from the fear she felt, "If you release me, I am willing to overlook this transgression. End this ridiculous fiasco now." "Oh no, my delectable succubus," Ezrias laughed before looking down at her, wiping her lips as the sex-crazed vixen's mouth was watering with anticipation. "I am the only one giving orders here. Even if I were not, these fellows would not listen either. No one would ever be so foolish to pass up the once in an eternity chance to experience the pleasure that only a Tansanee's body can give!" Blazing Glory Ch. 13 "No," Kendra whispered as her last hope that fear would make them come to their senses was crushed. "Now be a good princess and showcase the abilities those pretty, pale lips of yours have," Ezrias laughed as she snapped her fingers before two large demons stepped forward to approach the kneeling, helpless succubus. Their members were already hardening in the anticipation. Each swollen cock was almost two feet in length with thick girths. Kendra's body shivered in fear. Yet even more troubling was how her body reacted to the strong scent coming from their massive erections. She had heard these sexual fiends secreted an aphrodisiac from their sexual organs to drive their victims wild with lust. The was not good as her body hungered for energy after recovering from such severe injuries. The succubus was a lost desert wanderer seeing an oasis for the first time. "Damn you," she cried as her body moved despite her mind struggled in vain to resist, both hands wrapping about those lengths. Their heated girth was so thick that she could not wrap her hands fully around them. Hands pumping up and down, tears sliding down her cheeks as Kendra leaned forward. The best she could do was try to imagine it was Richard she was pleasuring. The room was filled with pleased grunts and growls from all the demons as well as the sound of wet, hungry suckling. Pale lips slurped and salivated across large flared cock heads as Kendra drew both erections to her face. Precum oozed out of their slits, causing her became heady from the scent they gave off. By the Abyss, she simply could not fathom resisting any longer. Her pussy was becoming wet with her own arousal as her body yearned for the sexual energy it craved. "Look at you go, princess," Ezrias laughed mocking as she spoke Kendra's title with derision. "How quickly the royal line succumbs to wanton lust for demons you felt beneath your notice! Suck those cocks like the true whore you are!" Kendra mentally swore she was going to make that bitch pay for this when this was over. Her lips strained as they stretched over the bulbous blue cock head, the demon above her growling in approval as she bobbed her head up and down as much of the length she could. Her cheeks hollowed with the deep suction that made him groan loud from the exquisite oral pleasure only a succubus could give, tongue dancing about that slit to taste the sweet male essence flowing forth. Her hand twisted about the large, spongy head of the other demon, making it grunt in pleasure as well. Fingers gathered up his sticky juices to rub them about its length. "Ezrias, this succubus sure knows how to handle a cock," The demon groaned in surprise, looking to its commander. "Don't you dare submit to her so easily," Ezrias rebuked him harshly. "She is here to be our toy, not the other way around." Kendra had hoped to make these demons cum more quickly to end this, but the fear Ezrias had instilled in her subordinates reinforced their focus to endure. Cursing silently, Kendra's emerald eyes widened as the demon above her grabbed handfuls of her hair and pulled forward abruptly. "MMMMPPH!!" Came Kenda's muffled cry of protest as the battering ram of a penis shoved its way down, her throat bulging from the intruder. Saliva trailed from her stretched lips to drip from her chin as the bastard was thrusting into her throat with increasing tempo. His huge balls, heavy with demonic cum, slapped against the underside of her chin. "Gods, Kendra!" Ezrias moaned as her hands cupped her breasts, pinching her nipples as her cheeks flushed. "Even just watching you is so arousing!" "Mmmph! Mmmmph!! Mmmph!!" Came Kendra's increasing protests as the demon was forcefully face fucking her with fast, hard strokes. She could only whimper in frustration as her body continued to respond with growing arousal, her juices dripping to the floor from her wet cunt. Kendra fought desperately against the growing heat in her body. She did not want to give them the satisfaction of seeing her orgasm. She wanted to end this quickly, but time continued to pass before she could finally begin to feel those long, muscular lengths twitch. "By the Abyss, her mouth-pussy is too much," the demon growled before pulling her forward. Her eyes shot open wide as he pulled her even deeper than before to where her nose was pressed into the stench of his groin. "MMPH!!" Her muffled scream came as she gagged while trying to relax her throat. He roared in pleasure as he was more than happy to give her thick ropes of demon cum erupting down her esophagus. She had no choice but to swallow his vile cum down into her stomach. Her other hand ached from the frantic thrusting motions of the other demon before he let out a long hiss, white jizz spurting out of the slit to coat her fingers. Some of it shot past her hand and splashed against her face. During all of this, her starved succubus body went wild with pleasure as she was driven to the brink of the orgasm. Her pussy felt on fire as it convulsed to send a small spurt of juices out. No! NO! Her mind screamed at her body as she fought back desperately against her orgasm. "Nicely done," Ezrias smirked as she clapped in applause while both demons withdrew to leave Kendra coughing and trembling upon the floor. Kendra glared up at her before she froze at what she saw. Ezrias finished clapping and put her hands back upon her erect cock, her hands stroking it fervently in. It was huge! More than a couple feet in length, the absurd cock pointed upwards in arousal to where its fat cockhead lay nestled between Ezrias's large breasts. She could see why this demoness outranked the others because of its length. Ezrias looked back down to her with a knowing look as she leaned down to give the tip of her cock a quick slurping kiss. "I see you wish to experience my cunt destroyer here. So many women have howled in both pain and bliss from my gift. But in due time Kendra... Next pair!" "No! Please!" Kendra begged as what just happened was only the beginning of this horrible experience as two eager demons stepped forward. The black skinned demon shoved her back onto her back. She cried out as he forced her legs apart despite her best efforts to keep them closed. With this blasted collar about her neck, she had no more strength than a normal human woman. Ezrias and the other demons laughed and taunted her as they saw her pussy was dripping in arousal. Her cheeks burned with shame. Kendra looked down fearfully as she felt her waist lifted off the ground. The demon at her waist was positioning his mighty meat spear to the delicate wet petals of her entrance. "NOOOOOOO!!" She howled as he thrust forward fully into her. Her back arched upwards to thrusts her heaving tits outward as she screamed. A normal woman would have been killed by such a sudden invasion, but her succubus body swiftly spread to accommodate his cock. Stomach bulging slightly as she grunted, Kendra felt her body respond in welcoming eagerness as her muscles tightly clenched the member. The pain of being stretched so suddenly caused her to involuntarily groan as pleasure flooded through her body, back at the brink of her orgasm. Her breasts bounced as he did not waste any time in experiencing the exquisite pleasure of her body with long, hard strokes into her wet tunnel. Her body felt light with the pleasure before she realized it was her body being lifted by her shoulders by the other demon. "Suck it, princess," growled an ashen skinned demon. Suspended in midair, her head hung upside down as the head of the demon's cock slapped her wetly across the cheek. Kendra kept her mouth clenched, despite her body's desire to take it into her mouth. Something told her this was a pivotal moment in her fighting back. She could not let these demons break her or she could be forever lost to Richard! Frowning from her lack of compliance, he grasped one of her bouncing brown orbs before pinching her sensitive erect nipple roughly. Kendra cried out in pain before her she choked as that cock was rammed past her lips and down her throat. Tears dripped from her eyes as her body betrayed her by causing her throat to swallow coaxingly about its length in acceptance. For what seemed like hours, she could only grunt as she was suspended in midair, her lush body speared like a pig on a spit by two thick demon cocks. The bastards relentlessly pounded her mouth and twat, at times thrusting into her in unison while other times in opposite directions to rock her back and forth. Her brown breasts capped by hard pink nipples bounced about her upper torso with the force. Kendra's eyes opened wide as she felt that familiar burning ache within her groin. No! Her hands reached out to try and push herself away. She was not going to let these low life demons force her into the approaching climax. Tears of relief trickled from her eyes as she felt their pace quicken rapidly before they released their loads of cum into her. Her pussy was flooded with the hot seed as she was forced to swallow multiple times. Despite her disgust, she was glad that she did not let them make her body orgasm. The two demons pulled out and dropped her to the floor roughly. She rolled over and coughed out what remained in her mouth as she heard the others praise their comrades that had just finished. "I can no longer wait with you presenting yourself in such a lewd way to me," Ezrias groaned as she stepped forward. Kendra looked behind her fearfully, realizing too late she was on her hands and knees, her pussy aimed directly toward the female demon. The sight of the immensely long cock swaying about as Ezrias moved toward her drove Kendra to start crawling away as fast as she could. "I can't," Kendra pleaded. "I don't want to take something that big!" The demon's hands seized her hips to prevent her from getting away any further. With the collar causing her to have no more strength than a human, she could not break free of those strong hands if she wanted to. Ezrias bent over her kneeling body and pushed her head to the ground forcefully. "Do not worry, princess. You will learn to love my cock as I am sure to love your pussy," Ezrias whispered into her ear. Kendra's green eyes shot open as she felt the swift penetration of nearly a foot of thick cock rammng into her cunt. "GOOOODSSS!!" Kendra cried out as she feels her lips and inner walls stretched wide. The demon above her laughed mockingly at her reaction before thrusting forward once again, driving more big cock meat into her. Kendra's tits swayed as she clenched her teeth, a panting gasp escaping her as she tried to control her body as it was once again burning towards her feared release. "Just as I thought. Your pussy's texture, temperature and wetness are as perfect as I had dreamed it would be," Ezrias moaned into her ear as she thrust forward to penetrate Kendra even deeper. The bulge in Kendra's stomach moved further with every passing thrust from the demoness. She felt like she was going to burst. Her breath was shallow and rapid as her ass was arching high, thighs spread as wide as she could. The succubus not only suffered through the depth of the penetration, but the incredible girth that stretched her further with every passing inch. Her nipples were rock hard as she panted in her growing arousal. Dammit, Kendra mentally cursed her body. She didn't want to become excited by the penetration from this bitch. But it felt like she was fighting against the current of a mighty river. She was being swept away as a groan escaped her throat. "Oh? Are we starting to finally enjoy this?" Ezrias said teasingly as she slid her cock out for a moment before slamming it back into her, causing Kendra to cry out in pleasure. The demons around her laughed and hollered as they watched the princess writhing about in pleasure while moaning like a bitch in heat. Ezrias gave one last thrust and buried the entire length into the succubus's hot canal. Kendra's mouth opened in wordless wonder as the complete penetration made her body become exhilarated with waves of electric pleasure washing back and forth through her. Ezrias wasted no time thrust into her hot depths with long, hard strokes. The room was filled with hard smacks of her hips hitting Kendra's ass. "Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!" Kendra cried out with every thrust, her lush body twisting about from the abuse she was receiving. She could no longer help but arch back as much as she could against Ezrias, lost in her need for release. By the Abyss, she was going to cum and she now wanted it more than anything in her desperate need. Her lush body began to shake fully. "Such exquisite contractions about my cock. It is like you are trying to eat me alive. If you want my spunk so badly, then you may have it," Ezrias said, breathing heavily as her green jugs bounced in unison with Kendra's. The loud slaps became more rapid with the fast, powerful pounding from Ezrias as the green beauty pushed herself over the brink. "I'm cumming! I'm cumming inside you princess!" she cried out in ecstacy before a stream of demon seed poured forth into Kendra's womb. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Kendra screamed in futility as the cum caused her eyes to see stars as she was lost in orgasm, her juices flowing out in proof of her humiliating surrender to pleasure. Kendra slumped forward against the cold floor as she wept both tears of joy and frustration. The blissful elation of her body finally reaching its long release made her almost delirious with happiness, but she cursed herself for allowing this demon bitch to make her cum despite her best efforts not to. "Damn you," she cried, "I'll make you all pay for this... I swear it." Panting heavily as she came down from her orgasmic high, Kendra felt a powerful grip seize each of her arms. The weak succubus looked to see what was happening. She was shocked to see the green hands of Ezrias holding her arms as they changed into clawed monstrosities. Looking over her shoulder as panic began to well up within her, her eyes grew wide as the feminine face and body of the demon changed. Ezrias began to look more like a feline lycan. Her face became bestial and her mane of dark green hair became wilder. Her teeth elongated into a terrifying set of fangs. Tentacles sprouted from her back as her size kept growing larger. Kendra's panic reached new heights as this growth spurt combined with the iron grips on her arms lifted up her body off the ground. Her legs swayed helplessly as she watched the ground move further away from her. She now knew why Ezrias was their leader as the demoness stood thirty feet tall! Motion between her legs caught her attention and she literally screamed at what she saw. "NO! BY THE ABYSS YOU CAN'T!!" she cried as she began to struggle with all the remaining strength within her, though she knew it was futile. She was too ashamed to admit that her body responded opposite of her mind and felt a thrill of excitement rush through it in anticipation. Swaying beneath was a massive cock that had grown with the size of the demon holding her. It had to be at least seven feet in length and as thick as her arm. All about its length were bumps that she knew were meant to drive the recipient wild from the uneven texture. A thick bead of cum was at the slit before she watched it drop to the floor with a loud splat. Her demon body may be able to take some of this behemoth erection, but it would still be excruciating! "Oh, but I will," Ezrias laughed, her voice much deeper, as her massive tits swayed on her chest from her amusement. "Your pussy was excellent, but I admit I am a woman that enjoys a fine ass when I see one. And yours is a most spectacular specimen that I cannot resist. How I am going to enjoy destroying it!" Kendra was too weak at this point to kick about in protest as the spongy head of this battering ram pressed against the delicate star of her ass. Ezrias used her precum oozing out to slicken the entrance in preparation for what was to come. "Please! I'm begging you," Kendra screamed as she felt the pressure against her ass begin. "DON'T! NOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHH!!" The demons around them cheered and yelled insults at her as the succubus shrieked at the top of her lungs as the head slid into her ass. She thanked the stars that she was blessed with demon blood in her veins as it would truly kill her to take such an intrusion. Kendra cried out once more as Ezrias thrust forward, driving more of that massive cock into her. Her eyes closed as she trembled all over as her ass was stretched wide by the increasing thickness as it slid further into her. She focused her mind as best she could to make her body relax. "I wish you could behold the beautiful sight of your ass being ruined," Ezrias laughed before a small groan escaped her. "Such tightness. The way your muscles are clenching at me is simply divine!" Kendra could only stare wide-eyed at the ceiling with her mouth hanging open, unable to make a sound in response as inch by agonizing inch pushed deeper into her. Ezrias gave a lustful growl as she began to give short thrusts, making Kendra gasp as air was pushed out of her lungs with each deeper intrusion. "Oh gods...," Kendra barely manages to croak as she finds her hips automatically pressing back towards Ezrias, feeling the length of the cock inside her. There was no possible reality in which she could fit something taller than she was inside her body. Instead, her body hung in the air as she was impaled by nearly half of its length with her abdomen bulging. All the while her succubus body was a raging inferno of ecstasy. Kendra's lungs filled with air once more as it was withdrawn partially to give her breath before Ezrias unleashed a deafening bestial roar. "UNGH!!" she grunted as the brutal thrust forward slammed into her luscious body hard before being followed by another and another. Her legs tried to find some support for her before reaching back behind to lock around the rest of the cock not inside her. Ezrias pulled both her arms behind her, making those large brown jugs jut out and jiggle enticingly to the demons below with each savage thrust. "No... UNGH!... More... UNGH!... please!" Kendra desperately pleaded with each breath she managed. Her desperation was growing by the moment as she could feel herself approaching the strongest orgasm she'd ever experience. One she feared would shatter her mind. Her grunts of protests began to mix with lusty moans of pleasure as she could feel her juices running in a steady stream down her thighs. Ezrias seemed to be encouraged by these moans, a few tentacles whipping around to slap the succubae's ass with harsh resounding cracks. Kendra cried out as the whipping only turned her body on even more. She was at the mercy of her own demonic powers, her entire succubus body was one, big erogenous zone of heightened bliss. Each of those knobs and bumps along its length rubbed against her insides with each movement causing her mind to give up the fight. Her hips ground back against Ezrias as a long, sensual wail escaped her throat. "OOOOOOHHHHH GODS YES!! FUCK ME!! FUCK MY ASS HARDER!!" Kendra howled in crazed lust, tongue hanging out of her mouth as she lost herself completely in the tidal wave of carnal bliss. An approving roar filled the room from the spectators at their leader's victory. "Now that is spirit, princess! Now the real fun begins!" Ezrias growled before she began to pull Kendra's body down in time for her upward thrusts. The feeling about her cock was impossible to describe except other than having never experienced pleasure this raw and powerful in all the centuries she had existed. Ezrias did not pity those who died at the hands of a succubus, especially Kendra. They died experiencing the best sex in all the realms. Should they live, they would only be broken souls afterwards, unable to reach that same zenith again. Ezrias swore she would experience Kendra's body many times over this night and in the following days, as Merodach promised to allow her to have at this exotic demoness again. Blazing Glory Ch. 13 "OOOOOH BY THE ABYSS! MMMMM YESSSS!!" Kendra moaned loudly as the strokes came faster and harder, jolting her body back and forth wildly. Her heavy breasts swung about with each bestial thrust from the demoness behind her. She ignored the demons laughing at how she ground her ass harder back against their commander, focusing only on the mind numbing pleasure. She could hear the breath beginning to quicken behind her as she was fucked brutally and lethally, had she not been immortal. "You are too much, Kendra," Ezrias gasped with labored breaths, "I am going to stain your insides to be forever claimed as mine. Forever as my personal bitch! Take my cum, royal slut! TAKE IT ALL!!" Ezrias said those last words with a roar as she pulled the succubus downward with one final thrust. Kendra stared wide-eyed in horror as she felt that massive slab of meat throb before thick monster cum erupted inside her ass. The cock's girth was so thick that it blocked any from escaping, each pulse of cum going deeper into her. She can only tremble in shock at the odd sensation of the spunk filling her, her stomach beginning to swell. Through it all, she could feel Ezrias continue to pump load after thick creamy load of jizz into her body. Her jaw quivers in fear from what is happening and what she suspects is to come. "Not this! Anything but this!" Kendra cries out before her words choke off and she closes her mouth, eyes open wide as can be and wild in disbelief. She can feel the cum seeping up into her throat and tries to swallow it back down, but there is nowhere to go but up. "Now, now! Be a good princess and give up on resisting," Ezrias purrs hotly, flexing her cock inside to send a couple larger bursts of cum. "This is always my favorite part after all." Kendra's hair whips about as she frantically shakes her head as her mouth suddenly fills with cum, cheeks billowing out while twin tendrils of spunk spurt out her nose. Her mouth opens as cum bursts forth in a great wave across the room. Thick spurts sent through her body shoot out of her mouth in a steady, sticky stream as if she were nothing more than the decorative spout for a fountain that was this titan-sized cock. What semen doesn't rocket from her mouth pours out in a white flood to spill down her front before cascading to the floor. Her brown tits sway and drip with sticky jizz as the front of her body is glazed. Every part of her being filled with cum finally triggered it. Unable to speak since she couldn't breathe at the moment, her eyes roll up and a long muffled moan escapes her from the explosion within her mind as her body and soul are crushed by her climax. Kendra's vision went white as her hips frantically hump against the cock she is impaled on as her juices burst free from her pussy, spraying outwards to shower the ground beneath them. The orgasm only briefly subsides before her pussy squirts again to be followed by another in a long chain of squirting orgasm. Her body twists and contorts within Ezria's grasp, cum flowing past her smiling lips. With a victorious grin, Ezrias slides Kendra off her cock and drops her to the ground like a used cum rag. The succubus hits the floor with a large splash in the pool of sex juices they created. Her body continues to twitch and spasm in mini-orgasms as she looks faintly to see demons all about stroking their cocks, having been turned on by such a lewd spectacle from the royal demoness. "More," she moans loudly to them. Her request is granted as a series of grunts is followed by a shower of spunk fall upon her body, coating her completely. All she cares about now is sex. She wants their cocks. She needs their cum. The succubus begs for more and more. A hand seizes her hair and drags her through the wet mess of a floor over to the rest. They give her more throughout the night and following days without stopping. And that smile never left her face. ******************** Blaze moved swiftly through the forest surrounding them as he looked down. Other figures followed him closely through the brush as quietly as they could. Nadine traced behind to make sure he did not miss anything that would lead them off the trail of their targets. Kali and Evalyn followed the normally cheerful lycan with the terrifying cloaked figure of Death's Mistress trailing a few steps back. Huffing and puffing along in his effort to keep up was Ambassador Flynn, his angry mutters of not getting left behind the only sound they heard from time to time. Amused at this, a grinning Tyra formed the rear guard while her eyes were ever watchful of their surroundings for any sign of ambush. All of those in the party were filled with the same firm resolve to rescue Kendra. Even though Kendra's true nature had been revealed by Rae, they could not bring themselves to abandon the succubus to whatever fate Mero had intended for her. Blaze had been skeptical at first in his disbelief that the demon he loved was the one prophesized to end the world as they knew it. The idea that he would meet such a person at the beginning of his quest nearly made him laugh with the irony since his dream was to become the type of hero who saves the world. The group in Captain Red's cabin had been quiet for a long time after Rae had finished. It did not matter to him. Kendra was still the succubus he had met in the beginning. This destroyer nonsense meant nothing to him. Only his love for her mattered. Upon seeing his unwavering resolve to get her back, the others quickly quashed their minor fears or misgivings about the situation. Kali gave orders to Kaiman to be in charge of the lycan race in her absence until she came back. The gatorman had fiercely protested at first before arguing to at least be allowed to accompany her. Yet he could not insist any further when Nadine and Evalyn stated they would accompany her in his stead. Tyra was committed to go wherever Blaze went as his guardian. However, they were still in the dark on as where they would even begin searching for Kendra. Rae had chimed in her suspicions. From the direction Mero had flown toward, there was a possible location in the massive mountain chain to their west. According to the drowess, he flew toward what was a large volcano that served as an entrance to the dwarven cities. Further inside the underworld was a city her sister and other dark elves called home. Her sister would likely have knowledge through spies about the pathways the forces of Koa were using. She knew the layout of the drow city from maps but was not sure of the route to take there from dwarven territory. Kiora spoke of the dwarf ambassador Flynn being from that area. Queen Roselei was having a hard enough time restraining Flynn from taking his forces back to their home before other races could possibly claim it. He could lead them in the direction of the drow city while being able to ascertain the cities' conditions before the rest of the dwarves came to salvage their homes. It would serve to be a mutual benefit for both parties. The rescue party had been formed and was off before the sun rose the following day. At first they simply made in the same direction of the large, smoking volcano in the distance. The evidence of the war that had ravaged the countryside eventually faded into wilderness. Their eyes were still scanning their surroundings for any remnants of the evil horde that had scattered in full retreat a few days earlier. "Stop!" Rae hissed softly but urgently the same moment all three lycans drew up with their ears perked. The party stopped and tensed in preparation of an ambush. The forest was quiet except for the occasional chirp of a bird and wind rustling the leaves of the trees above. Blaze looked over his shoulder to the members with keener hearing than he possessed. "What is it?" he whispered. "Hell hounds," the drowess replied before turning her head to spit on the ground with disgust. "I would recognize the growls of those foul beasts anywhere. I would estimate at least a dozen by what I can hear. They must be the ones we are tracking." "Aurora is with them. I can hear her in the distance yelling at the hounds," Nadine whispered in a near growl. The hackles along the back of her neck were raised. This was a surprise as there had been no sightings of the four generals of Kaos. Aurora must have stayed in their encampment as a liaison for the goddess to her army. A guess at best, he supposed. Blaze cursed silently to himself as he remembered foxwoman. He did not want to risk encountering her magic again. As if reading his expression in weighing their options, Nadine simply smiled before turning to Kali and Evalyn. "Come on. Let's go." "What? Wait!" Blaze started as the pantherwoman and lycan leader nodded. Nadine put her hand on his shoulder and leaned in to kiss his lips briefly, as the others lycans strode past. "This is a problem we lycans should handle," she whispered. Her arms wrapped about him in a tender embrace. "Besides, I won't lose you to her again. Go around with the others as we distract them. Bring Kendra back to us." The catwoman let him go and gave him that small, cheerful smile that he always loved about her before she swiftly disappeared into the dense forest to catch up with the others. He desperately wanted to follow. He knew the dangers of this rescue attempt had for all of them. Yet he did not want to lose anyone else he held dear. Blaze looked after them with concern before a firm hand pulled him. "Come, Richard," Rae spoke softly to him. "We are close enough to the mountain to proceed without tracking them any further. Have faith in our comrades. We knew we could encounter those we have scores to settle with. I do not wish to lose a dear friend either, but let us make the most of the danger they are putting themselves in for our sakes." Blaze looked into the glowing red eyes of the drow assassin before nodding. Nadine's cheerful spirit was what had kept many of them going through the hardest times. He looked forward to seeing her smile when he brought Kendra back with him. He moved with the smaller rescue group to circumnavigate the clash about to occur. ******************** Tails swaying low behind supple bodies moving with feline grace eased through the underbrush of the forest with hardly a sound. It was an amazing feat considering the speed at which the hunters pursued their prey. They came upon their targets resting in a small forest clearing. The hell hounds panted heavily from the restless pace they were being driven in their retreat. The pack lay off to the side. On the other side was a silver-haired foxwoman leaning wearily against the tree, her eyes gazing through the trees toward the volcano, their current hope of escape. Three sets of golden eyes looked on from the darkness. Nadine almost purred with satisfaction at the weary state their prey was in. Despite being heavily outnumbered, an exhausted enemy was the perfect prey to pounce upon. Her breath caught in her throat when a few hellhounds stopped panting and looked up. Their ears perked as they began to sniff at the air. Their ambush would be found out within seconds if they didn't spring now. Nadine gave a low soft hiss to signal Kali and Evalyn. Catwoman and pantherwoman leaped from the brush into the pack of unprepared hell hounds. The beasts yelped in surprise before their sharp, unearthly cries of pain filled the clearing as claws tore through flesh and staff crushed bones. Aurora staggered upright in her weariness to look at the ambush with shock. Collecting herself quickly, the foxwoman's lips begin to move in casting a spell. Just as they had planned. The silent catwoman sprinted from her cover to come upon Aurora from her right, blindsiding the foxwoman with the fist connecting to her lower jaw. Aurora screamed in pain as she was sent crashing to the ground, the rest of the words of her spell lost to the excruciating pain in her jaw. She staggered to her feet dazedly before touching her jaw, letting the magic flow in to heal the broken bone. The pain having ceased, she looked to the catwoman already moving in for another strike. "You heartless monster," Nadine screamed as she lashed out. Aurora sidestepped to avoid the blow before leaping backwards to put some space between the two of them. Nadine turned about, her claws releasing in her growing fury. "You collaborated to kill hundreds of your own kind! I'll make you pay for all those lycans who suffered." "My kind?... MY kind?" Aurora spoke, her own voice rising in anger. Her eyes returned the hatred glaring at her. She removed the chigiriki from its harness and pointed the spiked ball at the slowly circling catwoman. "I was more than happy to serve my goddess in bringing about the suffering of you filthy vermin!" "As much as I want to tear you apart right now, I still want to know why before I do. What could make you hate your own people so much?" Nadine replied. The catwoman did not expect to get a truthful answer but was driven out of curiosity to know. If it was a simple answer of one person delighting is death, it would make it all the easier to dispose of the evil before her. "There you go with that again. What does it matter to you?" The foxwoman yelled, impossibly seeming to grow angrier than she already was. Her left eye twitched as the metallic click released the spiked ball. Her arm lashed out as she screamed. "I was never one of you hateful scum!" Nadine was caught off guard by the ferocity coming from the normally composed foxwoman. The chain extended as the spiked end of her weapon whistled through the air. The speed amazed the furry beauty as it missed her head by mere inches as she dove downward to avoid it. She was showered with splintering wood as it tore through the small tree next to her. She yelped and hurriedly rolled away before the tree came crashing down on her. "You lycan filth. You could never understand the suffering my clan went through generation after generation," Aurora spat in seething anger while whipping the spiked ball back around into a high arc. "We foxes chose to embrace magic. It is a beautiful part of this world. But lycans feared magic's use over claws and teeth so much you branded us all witches. We were abandoned by the lycan race, forever isolated and alone as a result. And it's because of your kind's ignorance that she died!" Nadine leaped aside as the deadly end of Aurora's chigiriki impacted the ground where she had been. Dirt exploded outwards from the impact that surprised Nadine. Foxwomen were not known for their lycan strength, but Aurora was wielding it with the same ferocity her sister did with her staff. The foxwoman was beside herself with rage. Nadine did not understand why this foxwoman was so infuriated by what she had said. Her own anger ebbed away with the growing confusion at this while Aurora lunged at her once more. Nadine's muscles tensed to move before the glimmer in the sunlight froze her where she stood. "YOU BASTARDS BURNED MY MOTHER ALIVE!" The foxwoman shrieked, tears flowing from her eyes. Nadine realized she should have died with those words. The shock at witnessing her adversary in tears had frozen her where she stood. If not the tears, those very words would have had the same effect. Bark exploded once more as the infuriated foxwoman misjudged her weapons angle to embed itself in the large tree adjacent to the catwoman. Aurora grunted as she pulled on her weapon repeatedly before screaming in rage as she continued to pull at it in futility. Nadine backed away from the enraged foxwoman, her mind reeling from the shock. Throughout the life of a lycan, one of the messages driven home into younglings was to fear magic. It was an unnatural force for lycans to use when they had been gifted with the strength and endurance of the natural species they resembled. The stories of foxwomen were always told to frighten them of how magic corrupts those who dabble into its dark arts. She had never seen a foxwoman before Aurora, but she had grown up despising their kind. Generation after generation was raised to hate that which they feared. But never had she heard the lycans resorted to burning the foxwomen the same as humans did to witches. Golden eyes glanced to Kali and Evalyn fighting savagely against the hell hounds. Kali hissed in disgust as a hound bit onto her staff she used to block her face from getting ravaged. The Hellcat whipped it around to slam the hound into the others. Tears stung Nadine's eyes as the gravity of Aurora's words cut to her very soul. The little sister she had always loved so dearly had suffered greatly until recently. Nadine had always tried to get her friends to accept her little sister, but they refused out of fear. The hatred and loneliness had hurt Kali more than she could ever comprehend. Yet Nadine realized now that she had partaken in that very same kind of hatred. The winsome catwoman many called her. Able to make friends with so many in a brief amount of time. Even she had looked down upon foxwomen to where she had despised Aurora from the very first moment she saw her. It didn't matter that it would not have changed the intent of the foxwoman that day or the events to follow. What mattered was that she had hated Aurora without a second thought. Aurora was right. Tears slid down her cheeks. She was scum, for treating another the very same way others did her little sister. The foxwoman before her had lost her mother to the very same, ignorant hate. She could now see why Aurora hated her own kind with such passion. The same hatred had likely lured the dark goddess in to take advantage of Aurora for her grand schemes of worldwide chaos. Would Kali have become any different if she had continued to endure the weight of their oppressive eyes and words? "I'm sorry," Nadine choked out in barely a whisper as Aurora gave up on freeing her weapon. Aurora had regained some composure as she hurriedly wiped the wetness from her face. "What did you say? More pathetic attempts to chastise me?" "I am sorry," Nadine repeated herself as she brushed away her tears. "I know it does not justify the wrongs you have committed, but I am just as much to blame. I had no idea the Fox Clan had suffered the same bigotry my sister endured." "You bitch. I was careless in my anger to let my feelings out like that, but you would sink so low to use that against me? Don't you even dare pity me!" Aurora shouted, her body trembling. "I don't pity you. I know there will never be enough recompense in words, but I am so very sorry that your mother was taken from you. That you never had any friends to experience joy with. Instead you were left to be despised and alone. We should stop this. Kali has already changed our people's negative feelings about her. We can work to welcome to Fox Clan back into lycan society without fear or repercussion. You have much to atone for, but I promise I will support you the whole way through," Nadine finished as she extended her hand to the other. Aurora's silver eyes had grown wider with every word Nadine spoke. New tears pooled in those eyes before cascading down her cheeks as she stepped back from Nadine. "No. It's a ruse. There will never be peace or understanding after so much hatred. Hatred is all I have left! I won't let you take it from me!," Aurora angrily shook her head as she stared at Kali in fear before closing her eyes. Collecting herself, the foxwoman spoke with her voice becoming horrifyingly distant with each passing word, "I sacrifice my life to the dark kitsunes of old! Spirit of the Nine, consume this body of mine!" Those chanted works seemed to echo eerily in the air before an explosive silver aura of magic enveloped the foxwoman. Nadine was thrown back by the concussion of air. Her claws frantically dug deep into the soil as she was finding herself in an unexpected windstorm with the sorceress at the epicenter. Her cackles rose in instinctual fear from being in close proximity of such dangerous magic. Narrowed eyes watered against the wind as she looked to the silvery tendrils wrapping themselves about the foxwoman, seeing agony in Aurora's face before she disappeared inside the magic maelstrom. Blazing Glory Ch. 13 "Aurora! Please stop this!" Nadine cried out before her eyes widened as the silver cocoon of magic warped and grew larger. The wind gradually dissipated along with the fading silvery glimmer. The catwoman could only stare in shock as Aurora stood before her fully encased in silver fur. Her face had lost its human features to become elongated and more foxlike. Behind the sorceress waved nine blue-tipped silver tails. New tears stung Nadine's eyes as she saw the feral madness looking down at her. Aurora had let her hatred fully consume her. Normally priding herself in her beauty, the foxwoman was no more than a monster now in this state. Those hateful eyes centered on Nadine before dirt and grass exploded behind the foxwoman. So fast! Nadine cried out in terror as Aurora was upon her instantly. Golden eyes caught sight of the fist in time for her to instinctively tighten her abdomen muscles as hard as possible. The fist of the silver monstrosity caught her full on and dug in deeply. Breath rushed out of the catwoman's lungs, eyes wide in surprise of the force. Nadine's feet left the ground as her body caved inward with the force of the blow before her body became a projectile flying backwards into the trunk of a large tree. Her head snapped back to collide against the bark, nearly blacking her out in that instant. Crashing down onto the ground, she rolled around in agony as she tried to regain her breath. Her martial arts training had saved her life. If she had not tightened her muscles in preparation to take the blow, she would have been torn in half. However, it was impossible for her body to take another impact like that. Leaning back against the tree as the air finally filled her burning lungs, her dazed vision came back. Her instincts were screaming at her to move! Her eyes opened wide to see the silver fist flying to cave her skull in at the same frightening speed. She yelped and ducked aside. It sped past her ear to shatter the thick tree trunk behind as if it were a mere matchstick. Nadine had no time to think things over as she gave over to her instincts, her body naturally arching away from Aurora's arm and legs coming up as she coiled inward. Like a loosened coil, her lycan muscles sprung her into the rising spiral kick to crush both feet squarely with the snout of the foxwoman, the power of the kick making Aurora stagger backwards. The catwoman landed on her feet reeling still from her body's pain. She looked to see Aurora violently shaking her head and swaying about in a desperate attempt to maintain her footing. Nadine's eyes brightened with the realization that came to her. Despite the magic giving her body terrifying power, the foxwoman could not withstand a significant blow. Foxwomen were so focused in their magic that they often neglected their physical strength. She simply had to overwhelm her opponent with precision blows to render her unconscious. Aurora's fanged maw opened in an unearthly roar before she sprang forward once more, open hand now with extended claws swiping down to eviscerate her. Nadine was better prepared for the speed this time and ducked inside the savage yet simple attack to drive her elbow into Aurora's gut. The foxwoman gasped before being caught by the catwoman's uppercut snapping her open maw closed with a jarring click, likely loosening quite a few fangs. The foxwoman was reeling once more, backing quickly away from this unexpectedly fierce counterattack. Nadine jumped forward to continue pressing the attack. Her foot was yanked from beneath her. She yelped and crashed face first into the ground. Hissing in pain, she looked down to see a silver tails coiled about her legs. She mewed in frustration at being caught as she looked back up to Aurora, her opponent's bloodied snout curled upward in a pleased smirk. The catwoman cried out in panic as the tails whipped her into the air, her body flying at a frightening speed. The air was filled with a sickening smack as her body impacted the intended tree nearby. Nadine grunted in agony as the pain exploded through her hips where she hit. Her body soon slammed into another tree, her ears hearing several ribs break in that instant alone. Her mind was awash in pain to where she could barely stay conscious as she suffered the foxwoman's wrath crushing her body against the forest like a rag doll. After seemingly tiring of exacting out her torture, Aurora finally stopped whipping her into fixed objects. She sneered down at the whimpering catwoman entrapped by her tails. Those feral eyes hatefully glared at her but also filled with pleasure at her suffering. With a snarl, those tails of hers whipped around to hurl the catwoman with beastly strength into the air. Nadine's breath wheezed from her body, her mind shocked as she watched the ground and forest below quickly move away from her. She realized in a quickening panic she had to be hundreds of feet in the air! She was going to die from the fall alone if she didn't think quickly. Her eyes caught site of something below. When she saw the silver form rising up to meet her body as it approached the apex of its ascent, she started frantically clawing at air to try anything to move away. How could Aurora even jump this high? This was insane! Her mind was nearly overwhelmed with fear and hopeless as her body began to fall toward the forest below. Nadine didn't want to die. Rae would never forgive her close friend for dying so easily. Blaze, Kali, her mother, and everyone else would be so overwhelmed with grief. She did not want to make them cry. Her lips raised to bare her fangs as Aurora came upon her. Blood splashed the face of the foxwoman as the extended claws tore into Nadine's abdomen. Aurora smirked arrogantly in the apparent victory. Those eyes quickly widened as two claws seized that arm in an iron grip. Looking up from the impaled stomach of the catwoman, she was met with a golden gaze filled with a feral rage terrifying in its own right. A tiger's roar rumbled from her throat as Nadine twisted about with that arm and hurled the Aurora towards the ground. The furry lycan nearly blacked out finally as Aurora's bloody claw ripped from her stomach as she hurtled downwards. The silver body crashed through tree branches before hitting the ground with a sickening thud. Nadine's arm cradled the open wound as she desperately looked for any solid branch to try and catch as she fell towards the rapidly approaching forest canopy. To her dismay, Nadine caught sight of the foxwoman struggling to rise. She needed to end this or she was finished once Aurora regained herself. Her body flew past the broken branches as she fell towards Aurora, rearing her one free arm back with fist tightly clenched. On her hands and knees, Aurora looked over her shoulder in time to see the catwoman's fist lash out. The combined force of her remaining strength and the descent collided with the left side of the foxwoman's face. Her shocked cry was swiftly silenced as she was knocked unconscious. Nadine cried out in pain as she rolled and tumbled away until her body skidded to a halt. Pain unlike anything she has ever felt before filled her. Yet she head turned to glance worriedly toward Aurora, more fearful she had killed her with that last blow than her own condition. Silver tendrils of magic floated away from the twitching body that lay there. After a few moments of torment, Nadine managed to slowly rise to her feet. A trail of blood followed her as she limped over to the other. Aurora was coming around when she reached her but the foxwoman appeared to have as much difficulty moving. "Go ahead," She gasped painfully, pushing herself up to a kneeling position, "Kill me then. You are no different than those who killed my mother." She still could not believe Nadine had been able to stop her in her beast form, with ancient magic flowing throughout her body. The transformation was as powerful as it was excruciating. But this one lycan had defeated her without magical assistance. The shame was too much for her to endure. "No. I told you I am different," Nadine managed a smile, battered and bloody as she was. She dropped to her knees before collapsing against the startled sorceress. She leaned against Aurora as her words came out in a wheezing whisper to her ears. "I want to be your friend so you won't be alone anymore." Aurora's eyes opened wide in shock with those last words as Nadine fell silent and limp against her. Even after all the pain and suffering she had caused the catwoman, Nadine still wished to befriend her? She did not know whether this lycan was just plain crazy or genuine in her feelings. But the catwoman had refused to take her life after she offered it. Tears filled her eyes. Someone genuinely wanted to fill the loneliness in her life? Not compelled to by force of magic, but out of honest desire. Arms lifted to wrap about the catwoman in close embrace. Aurora wept silently into her shoulder as remaining magic flowed out of her to surround Nadine. The normally cold essence now warm as she healed Nadine. Voices calling out the catwoman's name drew Aurora out of her concentration. She barely managed to keep her magic focused on binding wounds and renewing flesh from the severe injuries she had caused. It was unthinkable to move her. The loss of blood alone would require several hours of recovery once her body was fully healed. Her mind was racing wild with fear should Nadine's friends find them. Before she could try to begin to think of an explanation, but one feminine voice quickly came closer. "Nadine? Nadine answer me please!" Kali cried out in fear for her sister. The windstorm had caught her and Evalyn off-guard as it attracted her gaze to catch a glimpse of the foxwoman changing. The same moment the sorceress launched her savage attack, the few remaining hellhounds attacked with renewed vigor. It had taken her concentration away as they worked quickly to finish them off. Only when her staff had split the skull of the last demon beast had she turned to witness the monstrous form of Aurora launch herself high into the air. Nadine was nowhere to be seen. The panicked search began soon after as she refused to believe her sister would fall to Aurora, even with that transformation. "Nadi-" She began to call out, stepping out of the brush before her voice caught in her throat. She saw the foxwoman kneeling there, holding her sister in her arms. Horrific wounds covered the catwoman's body as a pool of her blood soaked the forest floor around them. Her vision went white with rage as the grief tore her apart inside. Kali screamed as she launched herself at the sorceress. "You bitch! I'll kill you!" "Stop, please! I beg you! She's not dead!" Aurora shouted in panic, fear in her silver gaze. If Kali separated her from Nadine, her friend would slip beyond her tenuous grasp and die. She cringed inwards as the staff stopped inches shy of splitting her head wide open. Kali's chest heaved before she trembled violently, trying to reign in her rage. Those words as well as fear in those eyes had surprised her. But the tears staining the foxwoman's cheeks had shocked her completely out of her bloodlust. Still, she did not trust this sorceress. Should Aurora try any tricks, she would not hesitate to knock her head clean off before she could utter a word. "You seek to bargain your life for that of my sister's?" She spoke with barely restrained disgust. "No," Aurora answered. Kali was astounded to see her draw Nadine in closer, like a mother cradling her hurt child. "I must focus on healing of her. If you separate us, I'll lose my only friend." "Friend? Why would my sister want to be friends with a servant of Koas? Especially one that was trying to kill her just moments ago! You must be daft to think I would believe that tall tale!" "No!" Aurora shouted in a panicked voice that caught Kali by surprise so much that she backed away a step. Evalyn came upon both of them at that moment and fell in behind Kali with claws ready. "No, she wished to become my friend because she had found out how I had suffered in the past. She said you had dealt with similar treatment. She's the first lycan I ever encountered to apologize for hating my clan because of its use of magic. Nadine said she wished to end our banishment. In fact, she said she wanted to become my friend as proof of that sentiment." Evalyn sighed deeply behind Kali, "That sounds just like our winsome catwoman. Able to win the hearts of everyone she meets, even her enemies." Kali stared long into the eyes of the foxwoman. She could not see any sign of falsehood or ill will. Evalyn was right. It was just like Nadine to do as Aurora said. As the leader of the lycans, it was her call to make on whether the Fox Clan would be allowed back into lycan society. The animosity would be difficult to overcome between both sides. What would you do, Dio? She wondered how the old lionman would react in her place at this very moment. Kali knew. She would listen to learn more. Lowering herself to sit on the ground before the foxwoman as the pantherwoman stood guard behind her, she regarded Aurora calmly now. "Please continue healing my sister then. In the meantime, speak about your past to explain how we are both kindred spirits as Nadine believed." ******************** Blaze breathed heavily as he stood within the red inferno of the volcano's cavern. Dangerous lava bubbled and spurt hundreds of yards away. They were standing upon a broad rim of granite that circumnavigated the mouth of volcano below. His eyes could see their goal in the carved entrance on the other side of the cavern. That was their path to the underworld of the drow, dwarves, and other races. Yet it could not seem further away than when he started this journey. The oppressive heat of the volcano was not the source of the sweat dripping down his face. His breathing was panicked from the oppressive force filling the cavern. The source of that force stood a few dozen yards. Full lips curled upwards in a chilling smirk as the malevolent yellow eyes observed them in an overbearing arrogance. Blaze cursed silently at running into Danika in such a place. This volcano was certainly advantageous fighting grounds for the fire demon. "No one shall enter the realm of Koas without her permission. This is as far as you little insects go. Leave and I will spare your insignificant lives. I will show no mercy should you go any further," Danika stated simply, though her words hinted at daring them to try. The demon's unholy eyes focused on him. Blaze swallowed as they seemed to glow more brightly. "Well, if it isn't the little man with the swords..." "You remember me?" Blaze asked. He was surprised. Their encounter had been brief in those same Natori ruins where he had also first met Tyra. She had displayed the same cocky attitude then. He figured she would have long since dismissed him as nothing more than the usual trash. "Of course not. You are the one who has caused my mistress so much aggravation as of late," Danika stated simply before raised her left arm. Everyone stiffened for the attack to come. But the demoness raised her hand to her left cheek to run along the singular scar down her left cheek. "And how could I not forget the one who left this blemish on my immortal skin." Those last words were spoken with a calm firmness that sounded like a death knell. Even if he had not heard those words, the look in her eyes told him of the sentence she had given him for this grave offense. He swallowed deeply and was surprised to finding himself slowly taking a step backward. The demon's deadly hostility was that overbearing in just her presence alone. A shadow moved in front of him, breaking his view from those inhuman eyes to look up at the broad blue shoulders before him. "Tyra?" Her mane of red hair shifted as she looked over her shoulder to him and smiled reassuringly. "You go on ahead, Blaze. As your guardian, I promise to now allow her to lay a single finger on you. Besides," The beautiful gargoyle's smile disappeared as her expression hardened, "The two of us have a personal score to settle ourselves." Blaze wanted to argue otherwise with Tyra. Danika had even knocked Kendra around when they had last encountered her. The guardian had managed a surprise attack to land a hit on her, but it had not been nearly enough to discourage the demon. Since they were beneath her notice at the time, Danika chose to complete her objective rather than continue bothering with them. How could Tyra hope to stop the Enforcer, feared around the world, by herself? "Rae!" Tyra looked past Blaze, who was struggling to find words for his objection, to the drowess. "I am entrusting you to guard Blaze in my place until you get Kendra back. I am sure that succubus will be able to take care of him in my stead." "Hey!" Blaze shouted angrily, finally finding the words as his anger rose from hearing Tyra. "I don't want to hear those kind of words from you!" She hefted her spiked mace over her shoulder and winked to him. "Go Blaze... Hurry!" Blaze nearly refused to obey, but the firm tug on his shirt from Rae brought his gaze away from the gargoyle to see the others already in motion. Cursing silently, he fell in behind Rae as they all sprinted to round Danika toward the exit. "You better catch up soon so you don't get left behind! It won't do to continue on without the best guardian an adventurer could ask for!" He called back to her. He admonished himself for such a silly thing to say, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything that could hint at a final parting. Because Tyra will win! She will come back to his side where she has always been. Soft lips simply turned upwards in a small smile in silent answer. "You will not enter the domain of my mistress," the demon's voice boomed inside the mountain, her amused expression turned angry in an instant. Her arm rose towards their party. Rae was quick to drop between them to defend with her own magic for the fire attack to come. They were as surprised as the fire demon was when the metallic missile screamed across the cavern floor to crush Danika's face with a sickening impact that send the demon flying through the air. Tyra took in a deep breath and relaxed her bulging muscles after heaving her weapon with every ounce of strength within her arm. Danika's hapless body finally stopped its motion by crashing into the granite wall, the solid stone cracking outward from the source of the impact. Tyra grimaced as she watched her cherished mace fall into the cavern below to be consumed by the volcano. She did not regret the loss as she observed the others reaching their destination safely to disappear from view. Slumping to the ground, loosened rocks showered the stunned demon as her hand clutched her face. What was this burning sensation coming from her face? It was not like the pleasant heat of her flames. It was rather unpleasant. Drawing her hand from her face, her yellow gaze widened at the sight of blood. It was just like that fight with the boy. It should be impossible to harm her, yet that gargoyle had achieved that unobtainable achievement. Her eyes darkened as they focused on the gargoyle before her. "Very well then, gargoyle," She pushed a large boulder aside as she rose. "I will destroy you first before I go after him. As you fall into the netherworld of death, go with the knowledge that I will find him. In your honor, I will make sure he screams long into the night all the while reminding him that you failed to protect him." Tyra's eyes hardened as the demon taunted her. She would not fall for the Danika's goading attempt to make her lose her temper. She already knew the fate Blaze would endure if she failed. But she already knew the outcome of this battle long before having set foot in the volcano. It was the end for the Enforcer. She raised her hand and mockingly waved the demon to come at her.

Through the falling debris flew a lone figure, crashing with sickening thud against the wall on the other side of the hallway. The stone along its expanse cracked with the impact yet managed to maintain its structural integrity. Blood erupted from Lexiss's mouth, feeling every bone and organ in her body seemingly crushed in that moment. Her wide eyes looked on in horror as her bloody form slid down the wall. Through the dust and falling debris, a figure out of her nightmares looked on with silhouette half turned from the punch that had sent her flying. Those glowing green eyes made her want to scream and beg for mercy despite the fact that she couldn't with her shattered jaw. "You," Kendra's voiced hissed with trembling fury, causing tears to flood from terrified shadow mistress's eyes. The naked succubus began to walk towards the woman, the shadow demon spitting up blood, before Blaze jumped in front of her. His arms wrapped about her in an effort to stop the enraged demoness. "Kendra, stop this!" He yelled as his feet slid backward. The simple act of her walking in this state felt like trying to stop a moving mountain. He looked back at the stunned drow sisters "Save her! We still need her!" Both Rae and Rizarra snapped out of it to rush to the side of the dying avatar. He saw both make physical contact to flood her with healing magic. It had happened so quickly. When he had finally recovered consciousness, Rizarra and Lexiss had entered to inform them that the dungeon halls were still clear with no sign of their presence being discovered. Rae finished freeing Kendra from her bonds as he looked about to see the decapitated body of Merodach lying on the floor. The drowess made quick work of picking the lock to the collar about the demon's neck before tossing the thing away in disgust. He watched it clatter across the floor noisily, happy to see such a horrible thing removed from her. How could Mero be so cruel to treat her like a slave? Wasn't she the daughter of his queen? Blaze's mind was still a haze after having seen Kendra bloodied from Mero's cruel beating. Mouth opening to ask what had happened; his words were cut off as Kendra asked first. "Who are they?" She asked, mistrust in her tone as she rose to her feet while observing to two strangers in such close proximity of this gathering. Blaze shook his head as he should have realized sooner that Kendra would not know them and be suspicious of their presence. "Oh, them? This is Rae's sister, Rizarra. We are in her drow city. The other is the one who helped us find her as well as you. She is Lexiss Makora," Blaze answered. Those last words had barely left his lips when the blurred movement startled everyone. The reaction from the succubus had been instantaneous as she lashed out with lightning speed combined with demonic strength. Lexiss was sailing through the air before any of them were aware of what transpired. Blaze cursed himself as he threw himself back into Kendra, trying to slow her down. Why hadn't he foreseen this reaction? He had been so caught up in rescuing her that he had not remembered Kendra's hatred. The succubus had made it no secret that she harbored an intense hatred for Lexiss after what she had done to the man she had loved. He doubted Kendra would ever forget her name so long as she existed. "I'll rip her limb from limb," Kendra hissed by his ears. The fury in her tone sent a terrifying chill down his spine. "Kendra!" He shouted, moving his face to look into hers to break her gaze from Lexiss. "Stop this! I know you hate her for what she did, but she helped us save you. If not for her, we likely would never have found you as quickly as we did." Kendra blinked as she shook her head, not wanting to hear it. She remembered those long hours of hearing him scream in agony. All those tears of grief she had shed were caused by this woman. She had not only disemboweled the him, but placed a curse on him to destroy his soul. There was no forgiving such a despicable act. Her feet stopped as the glow faded from her eyes. "I can't," She whispered, "I can't forgive her for nearly taking you from me forever." "I understand, believe me. You do not have to forgive her. But do not kill her, please. She knows of Koas planning to renew the war with another wave of her forces," Blaze pleaded, hoping to reason with her with this revelation. "She has proven her worth in words in forsaking her goddess by saving my life as well as Rae's today." "She saved you," Kendra looked to him with surprise, as if unsure to laugh at the very idea that the same woman who had nearly killed him could be capable of such a reversal. When Blaze nodded, she looked around him to the dazed shadow mistress, slumped against the wall as she recovered. Rae glanced back from where she knelt and nodded in affirmation of his words being true. Looking back to Blaze, she merely nodded in acquiescence. "I'll allow her to live then, but I will never forgive her no matter what good she does from here on." Blaze's shoulders slumped as the wave of relief came over him. When he looked back up, his breath left him as he looked into those emerald green eyes. Once again, he was reminded of her unworldly beauty. It was ages ago but only felt like recently that he had been the naïve adventurer coming upon the domineering demon. At first their relationship had been one of tense suspicion of each other before becoming one of a pleasant partnership. Those feelings had quickly evolved into the intense love he held for her. The same loved he saw reflected in her eyes. One corner of her pale lips turned upward in a knowing smile. By Stavros, he had missed her. Hands firmly gripping her, her pulled her naked body against his swiftly as his lips captured hers. Those soft, luscious tiers eagerly accepted his loving embrace as her wings wrapped about him. Kendra's hands roamed up his neck to entangle her fingers in his hair while their tongues danced with each other. She moaned softly into his mouth, her body pressing into his as he stole her breath away with the ferocious passion of his lips. For long minutes, the lovers simply held each other and kissed, drinking in each other's presence that had long been missed. Even if only for a number of days, it might as well have been an eternity for both. A clearing of a throat brought them out of their euphoric embrace and their lips parted. Blaze looked to see Rae waiting patiently next to her gawking sister. If he didn't know any better, he could have sworn Rizarra was envious. Lexiss leaned against the wall, hand rubbing her head, as she still tried to regain her wits. Death's Mistress fixed him with a firm stare, "Blaze, why didn't you tell us your blades were Natori? Knowing their capabilities ahead of time could have saved us quite a bit of trouble." The warrior blinked as confusion filled him. What was she talking about? He looked over his shoulder to his swords in the scabbards on his back. "What do you mean?" he responded truthfully, not understanding as all eyes now focused on him. Their looks were all filled with knowing something that he did not. He had yet to be filled in on what had transpired with Merodach. His head began to ache from all of this. "Blaze," Kenda spoke quietly with her gaze downcast before looking up to him, "In your blind rage, you decapitated Merodach. Any normal weapon of this world would have shattered attempting such a feat on an immortal. They can only be one of the ancient Natori weapons. Where did you get those swords?" "Natori?" He whispered in shock. The look in Kendra's eyes spoke of the utmost certainty of what she had said. He had killed Merodach when he should have failed in any other circumstance is what she was telling him. "They were gifts." Rae shook her head and threw her hands up in disbelief. "Weapons that can destroy the gods themselves were simply given to you? These relics of the ancients are protected by denizens of the gods to prevent them falling into the hands of mortals. To retrieve them alone you would have to put yourself in constant peril. Don't be silly and expect us to beli..." Rae's voice trailed off as she saw the tears running down Blaze's cheeks. "They belonged to my master," he whispered and he wiped his eyes. "I had thought them old and useless compared to the gilded weaponry he had received as gifts from important people and royalty from around the world. I was upset thinking they were simple hand-me-downs he wanted to get rid of. These swords had always been with him in combat and were special to him. He told me he wished to pass it down to his son as his father did to him." Rizarra sighed as she looked to her sister, "It is possible. Some Natori artifacts could have been lost in the chaos during the war with the gods and passed down through generations unknowingly." "That is why they were important to him as they had belonged to his family for centuries," Blaze said, nodding to what Rizarra said as true. "But he was impotent from so many fierce battles that took its toll on his body. I was such a fool then to resent being given weapons I thought lesser of my worth. Only after he was gone did I appreciate them and why he gave them to me. Now you are telling me they are worth even more than all those weapons from kings and countries around the world?" "Xas," Rae nodded. "No amount of wealth could equal the worth of Natori weaponry. And with those weapons you could put an end to this war by ending Koas herself." His attention snapped up to look to Rae with those words. He glanced over Kendra. The succubus nodded in affirmation that this could be the solution they were looking for in stopping the schemes of the dark goddess. Could he really do it? Kill a god? Wouldn't the very act be like declaring war on all deities as did the Natori of ancient times? After a few careful moments of consideration, Blaze looked to the rest of them to give his answer. "Alright then, let us go confront the Mistress of Chaos," He said with a grin. "The violence and suffering her ambition causes has to come to an end. I see no other alternative other to convince her to stop or be destroyed." The others nodded and smiled to him. They were with him in this decision and would do their utmost to make sure he was successful. He looked to the former avatar of the dark goddess looking downcast as they discussed this. Walking over to Lexiss, he placed a reassuring hand upon her shoulder. "I know this may be hard on you, but we need your help in getting to where Koas is." "Please," she whispered, looking up to him with a fearful gaze, "Don't make me go back there. Even though she created me from her very being, that place is no longer my home. Koas will undoubtedly kill me once she finds out what I have done." Blaze could feel her whole body trembling uncontrollably through his hand. If there was one thing the shadow mistress feared more than a wrathful Kendra, it was the horrible fate that awaited her upon returning to Koas. He sighed before nodding in sympathy. He would not ask her again now that she had shown him her terror of going back. "Lexiss, hear me out then. Go to Stavros," he stated simply. "Stavros? I do not understand what you mean," Lexiss responded with a confused look. "I know you may have caused him and his people trouble in the past, but seek his protection. As further proof to all of us here as well as Stavros, pledge your loyalty to him by serving as his avatar," he explained. The other women looked on in surprise at he what he had suggested. With her acting as a personal avatar of Stavros, she would be under his protection. An attempt on her life would result in severe consequences. Most gods recognized this fact in their desires to avoid needless spats with each other. So long as Stavros agreed to take her in. The young warrior had a hard time believing the deity would refuse after seeing the turnaround in Lexiss. "How do we find our way to Koas without her then?" Rae asked what they were all thinking. "I can help," Rizarra spoke up. "I know a few routes to the other side from the intelligence reports we drow have gathered. That will allow her to take her leave of us and go to Stavros." Blaze nodded and couldn't help but sigh a little in relief. In the end, this was the best for Lexiss. It put her out of harm's way. They would separate here now that she was done assisting in the search for Kendra. "But aren't you forgetting something important, Blaze? Before you leave," Lexiss spoke as those purple eyes looked up to him, realizing the approaching time of parting as well. "You agreed to repay me for helping you find Kendra." Rae sighed heavily, rolling her eyes as she folded her arms across her chest. The drowess fixated him with a stare that she had warned him. Scratching the back of his head, Blaze remembered that he did agree to her terms with little thought of what she may want. He looked at what they had on them, not much in coin or possessions to part with. What could she want then? "I did, didn't I? But we really don't have much to give you at the mome-" "Make love to me, please!" Lexiss cut him off abruptly, her hands desperately clutching at his sleeve. "What?..." A dangerous voice echoed in the hall, causing them all to freeze. Blaze swallowed deeply as he broke into a cold sweat, turning his head slightly to see Kendra trembling in barely controlled rage. Her lowered gaze caused her bangs to cover her eyes, but the scowl her lips wore were enough to cause Lexiss to shrink behind him in fear. Both Rae and Rizarra gave incredulous looks to the shadow mistress as if she had a crazy death wish. "Please understand," Lexiss said behind him, her words more to him than anyone else. "All I've known is darkness and pain in my existence. I could feel your intimacy even then, despite the aphrodisiac I used on you. I just want to experience what they have with you, but with no more hiding in the shadows or ill will between us." "Kendra," Blaze said her name softly, trying to soothe her as best he could. "You may have saved him once today, but that doesn't erase your past actions," Kendra said, voice growling as her body shook with growing fury. "And now, right before me, you demand that he become intimate with you in the way that he is with me and the others?" Blaze had to stabilize the situation before the succubus lost all control. "Kendra, please! This was my fault as it was my decision to agree blindly to her demands. If you want to take your anger out on anyone, take it out on me." Kendra blinked. The thought of hurting him like she wanted to do to Lexiss was so incomprehensible that it snapped her out of it. Shaking her head, she stepped back from him. "Fine," she sighed. Seeing his resolve, the demoness turned to give Lexiss a warning glare, "Try anything that harms him in any way and I will make sure what just happened seem like a slap across the back of your wrist." "Thank you, Kendra," he sighed in relief. Blaze could feel Lexiss trembling behind him. She did not doubt the words of the succubus. Understanding the truth behind Kendra's powers now, he knew full well that his lover was far from exaggerating with her threat. Those green eyes fixated him firmly. "Don't take too long. I'm going to pay a visit to some former comrades of mine. I expect you to be finished by the time I return," She stated coolly before turning about and walking down the hall. Blaze looked after her with concern before realizing she meant the horde of demons on the other side of the building. He immediately became worried that she would be overwhelmed and captured once more. That is, until he saw her cracking her knuckles. Her nude body was tense, like a coiled snake ready to strike and bore all the lethal intent of doing so. A shiver ran down his spine as he now pitied the demons who did not know what was coming for them. Rae looked back over to him and Lexiss before motioning, "We'd best have you to finish before she returns. Rae and I were lucky enough to bring you back from the brink of death. But we can't do so when you are nothing more than a blood stain, now can we?" Rizarra looked to her sister and just about laughed as Lexiss stiffened in fear from the suggested gruesome fate. She turned about to walk after Kendra, waving her hand for them to follow. "Come. I had a personal room to use here while enjoying the entertainment of the arena. While I surmise it is thoroughly ruined like the others, I doubt they discovered the secret chamber I used for my Patrons and I to enjoy." Death's Mistress sighed as she fell in behind Blaze and the shadow mistress. Lexiss was risking not only her life, but all of theirs by angering Kendra. Rae knew what the succubus was in truth as did Blaze after her revelation to them. Why risk causing Kendra to lose control of herself in rage and destroy the world for one romp in the sack with him? Then again, Rae thought to herself, this was Blaze after all. She'd risk much if it meant she could enjoy one last time with him in bed. Nor did Lexiss know Kendra's true nature either. As her thoughts turned to it, she found herself surprised that Blaze had made no mention to Kendra yet that he knew. She supposed that he was giving Kendra her own time to reveal her secret when the time was right. Rae felt the guilt of having told to others before the demon could, especially considering her own secret she kept from them. "This is it," Rizarra spoke up, jarring Rae out of her thoughts as her sister opened the door. Looking inside, they saw what looked to be another office with a large desk. Her sister was always focused on her work as a matron mother, ordering assassinations while managing the financial sabotage of other houses. Even in this area, Rizarra seemed to enjoy throwing herself into her work as the head of her household. Rae would rather keep killing than deal with paperwork. "Good, it is not as damaged as I thought," Rizarra stated before pointing to the wall behind the desk. "Pull the right sconce on the wall there to reveal my bedchamber." Rae fixated Lexiss with a firm glare as she tapped her pointed elven ear. "Rest assured that we will be able to hear everything and will be listening for any signal from Blaze of trouble. I may not have the demonic strength of my friend, but I can be just as cruel in killing you should you try anything. Remember that." The drowess waited until the shadow mistress nodded that she understood before giving Blaze one worried glance. He simply smiled in assurance to her. Rae took a small breath before both dark elves stepped out in the hallway, closing the door behind them to give the two privacy. ******************** Blazing Glory Ch. 14 "I am sorry if my demand seems unreasonable," Lexiss spoke, albeit a bit shyly as they were alone together now. Blaze shrugged slightly while walking over to the sconce Rizarra had pointed out. Reaching up, his hand took hold of it and pulled back. The soft metallic click was all that could be heard before the wall shifted and opened with a light grinding noise. Glancing inside, Blaze saw candles flare to life, likely from magical enchantments in place. He turned back to Lexiss and smiled reassuringly. "Think nothing of it. I am a man of my word," he said, extending his arm out to invite her inside. This gesture seemed to help put her apprehensiveness at ease. Stepping inside, Blaze watched the door close behind them. "You said you've only known darkness and pain after you made your request. What has happened to you, Lexiss?" She moved over to the bed and leaned against the ornate bedpost. Lexiss was not shocked that he had figured out there was more to her words. Her arms hugged herself as she looked down in shame, reliving the memories of all that she had gone through in the name of her goddess. "In order to win over the alliance of the dark races for her army, we were instructed to do anything possible to assure the success of our missions. As you can imagine, some of these creatures looked upon us with desire and made demands that we cooperate with them to the fullest," she said. "You don't mean they..." Blaze said, unable to finish as he was horrified by what the goddess was putting her own people through. "Yes," Lexiss said, her arms tightening further about herself as she shivered in disgust. "In particular, I was made to recruit the giants and orcs. Thankfully, the giants were merely satisfied with watching me masturbate and covering me in their cum. But the orcs... The orcs had their way with my body in their encampment. First their leader before the rest of the encampment. There must have been hundreds if not over a thousand. I lost track of time as I sucked them off, felt them flood my pussy and ass with their disgusting cum. Others delighted spraying their cum all over me. When I became too coated in their slimy filth, they showered me with piss to rinse it off. They even made me drink it at times. I became their personal cum bucket and toilet for days. My mind was close to breaking in a sea of filthy orc bodies using me." "Gods," Blaze whispered, covering his mouth in shock as he felt sick to his stomach. While each of his comrades was an exotic beauty in their own right, Lexiss was in no doubt just as beautiful. The vile hordes must have run wild with lust over such a beauty at their beck and call. The thought of what she had been through happening to the others terrified him. "That is why your tenderness reached my heart, Blaze," she said looking up to him with a sad smile. "It had been closed off after my experiences. But your desire to see me enjoy the pleasure as much as you were was something I never experienced before." Her arms dropped down as she moved away from the bed, walking toward him with her hips swaying as she smiled up him. "I want to experience that feeling once again, if only for one last time," Lexiss whispered, tracing her finger along his jaw before cupping his cheek as her other hands gripped his shirt tightly. She pulled him down to kiss him deeply with her lush lips. Blaze was surprised to see the turnaround in her attitude change from timid to seductive. Her passionate kiss proved her desperate desire to attain that height of bliss once again. He could not help but respond, losing himself in her scent and warmth as he kissed her back. She shivered against his body before pulling back from their kiss. "My body is yours, Blaze. Explore to your heart's content," she whispered, trailing her lips along his jaw line and across his neck. He could not suppress the shiver of pleasure running up his spine from the feel of her lips. His body reacted as he stiffened to a full raging erection. Taking her up on her invitation, his hand rose to the large curve of her breast and squeezed it through her dress. She moaned in approval as his other hand took up her other large mound, massaging her impressive tits. The shadow mistress became visibly more excited as her cheeks flushed and breathing quickened. "Mmmmm... Yes! That is what I desire, but I need more," she whispered, breaking free from his hands as she turned around. She pulled her black hair away as she looked over her shoulder to him, hunger in her purple eyes. "I need to feel your touch directly. Please help me remove this dress." The young man stared in awe for a moment as her pose was sexually exciting to where he thought he would burst through his pants. He moved up behind her, his lips capturing the arch of her slender neck, kissing her soft gray skin. She gasped and moaned, leaning back into him as his fingers quickly worked the tight laces on her back. The long black dress became loose, slowly sliding away from her lean body. Full, round gray globes bounced slightly in their freedom with darker gray nipples pert in her arousal. "You are certainly a beautiful woman, Lexiss," Blaze said, unable to resist admiring her body that filled him with lust. She turned about to face him, smiling gratefully at his compliment. It was nice to receive such genuine words instead of the foul catcalls of brutes. Lexiss was glad she chose to ask him to do this. "Thank you," she hummed softly, bare hips swaying slightly. "Koas did liken me in her image after all. But for those kind words, I feel I should reward you." And in doing so reward myself, she finished in thought. She bit her lower lip in eagerness as her hands sought him out, pulling her shirt off over his head. Her hands tossed it aside quickly to return to his chest, caressing those taut muscles with a pleased groan. The burning in her pussy and heart was increasing with every moment. She knelt before him, making quick work of his leggings and pulling them down. "Gods," Blaze gasped as he felt her soft hands caressing his erect cock. She gazed up at him with a hypnotizing gaze as she leaned forward, those full dark lips wrapping about the head of his cock. The young warrior closed his eyes, enjoying the warm wet sensation of her mouth as she suckled on it gently. "Mmmm, you taste as wonderful as I remember," she hummed after taking her mouth from him, ducking her head to the side to run her tongue from the base to flared head with long lavishing strokes. Lexiss pulled back up to prob his slit gently with her tongue, gathering up his precum to swallow with excited moans before drawing him fully back into her welcoming mouth. Her gaze continued to remain on his face, enjoying his expressions change with the pleasure she was giving him. She was no succubus, but she would show him she was skilled in the sexual arts nonetheless. "Holy..." Blaze's eyes shot open as he felt his hard length push deeper, the cockhead finding its way down her throat as she handled every inch of him expertly. One of her hands grasped his sack, fondling it with her fingers as her head bobbed back and forth on him with gusto that filled the room with wet slurping sounds of her suction. Lexiss locked her purple eyes with his as she felt his balls tensing in her hands. He was close. This man's cum was going to fill her mouth very soon. The thought alone drove her to increase the speed and suction of the blowjob, her own excitement for the impending climax seeping down her inner thighs. "Lexiss... Yes! Lexiss, I'm cumming!" Blaze cried out, his hands finding her hair long black hair and tangling in it with a strong grasp. Lexiss gave him a look that said she wouldn't pull away for the entire world. She sucked as fiercely as she could, head rapidly moving to draw out her desire. On the backstroke of it coming out of her throat, it lurched inside her mouth as his seed blasted forth. The jizz coated the back of her throat and pooled on her tongue. Oh by the Abyss, his cum was like ambrosia! Her eyes rolled up in ecstasy, her pussy sending out a squirting jet of her own fluids as she climaxed. Blaze wavered where he was, struggling to stand on weak knees as both of their bodies shivered from their shared ecstasy. The shadow mistress pulled back to let his cock escape with a wet pop. She closed her eyes as she knealt there, savoring his taste before swallowing his spunk in a few satisfying gulps. "That was amazing..." He managed, not having expected her to give him a fellatio like a starving wanderer sat down to eat a feast at the table. "Yes, but I am nowhere near satisfied with just that," Lexiss spoke as she rose, firmly grasping his hand to lead the wobbly legged man over to the bed. She knew they only had a limited time and wanted every moment to be filled with him. She turned about and sat down on the edge of the soft bed. Leaning back, she pushed herself further onto it. One leg spread to the side as the opposite leg's knee rose upward. The gray skinned vixen revealed to him her bare, damp folds. "Come, Blaze. Explore, touch, lick, kiss... Whatever you desire..." The erotic sight alone nearly made him cum again as the exotic beauty laid herself out before him in open invitation to her luscious body. How could he say no? He moved over her as he got onto the bed, his hands cupping and feeling her large tits like before as he licked her neck teasingly. Soft, short gasps slipped from her lips as he lowered himself to kiss and suckle her breasts all over. The shadow mistress moaned softly when she felt his tongue swirl about the hard nipple before sucking it into his mouth. An encouraging cry filled the air as his teeth grazed the sensitive bud with a nibble. Lexiss writhed on the bed as he explored her body with tender loving care. Her body was on fire with what he was doing, unable to experience this foreplay in their brief first encounter. It was no wonder those women held onto him with such fierceness. He knew how to make a woman feel like her pleasure was the only thing that mattered to him. Lexiss's breath caught and her nipple throbbed under his tongue when she felt his fingers explore further, hand sliding down her toned stomach to trace along her thighs. Blaze heard her moans deepen, body continuing to writhe under his touch. Those touches left her thighs to the goal of both lovers, sliding across her wet petals before exploring those folds further. "Oh yes!" Lexiss moaned in pleasure. The shadow mistress pushed her hips forward eagerly as those fingers rubbed her budding clit back and forth. Blaze bit gently on her other nipple, suckling as he pulled on it to draw her tit up slightly. Dropping his hand further, her wet slit was soon probed with two digits delving deep into the hot wet pussy. Her body felt like it was being burned to ashes from the fire of her ecstasy he giving her. Those fingers curled upward to caress the inner walls over her steamy cunt. "Oh goddess yes! Like that! Please!" Blaze released her breast from his mouth in order to lead a trail of kisses down her stomach. The air was filled with her passionate moans as well as the soft wet sounds of his fingers pumping in and out of her wet twat with the increasing speed and strength. Before long, a third finger joined its compatriots into her tight cunt. Lexiss felt her clit throb with the additional penetration, her hips tensed and raised to his fingers as she gripped the fine blankets tightly. "Keep going! Don't ever stop!" She cried out. He moved further down with his trailing kisses while his fingers swiftly moved in and out of her sopping wet pussy. Blaze's vision noticed her clit budding out with her heightened state. Surrounding it with his mouth, he suckled on it at while his tongue flicked across it at the same time. The wet squelches reverberated about the room as he finger banged her pussy hard and fast while doing this. "BLAAAAAZE!!! OH YEEEESSSS!!!!" Lexiss all but screamed, stomach tense with her hips thrust fully into his fingers. The shadow mistress's whole body shook with the crushing impact of her orgasm. Her sweet juices flooded out of her as her head thrashed about as she cried in joy of another fantastic release. Blaze held onto the gray vixen as her body arched and convulsed several times, his fingers and hands drenched from her climax. When her pussy walls unclenched and released his fingers, he leaned back and licked them clean. While she didn't taste as incredible as Kendra, he had to admit the essence of Lexiss was enjoyable too. The shadow mistress lay there breathing heavily as she slowly recovered with shuddering breaths. She sensed him rise and move over her. Opening her eyes, she looked up to see him gazing down at her with a concerned look. Did she look that much a mess? She blushed deeply before managing a smile. Lexiss reached up, fingers running through his short hair as she pulled him down into a reassuring kiss. Their tongues caressed and danced about wildly. She did not mind the taste of herself as their lips lovingly embraced each the other's. As much as she wished she could continue being lost in his kisses, she broke it by pulling back. "I fear our time is likely growing short. Shall we continue then?" Lexiss whispered to him, her hands reaching down to graze over his hips. The man above her simply nodded with agreement. She brought him down for another tender kiss before her hands gently lined that flared head against her soaked folds. Blaze groaned into her lips as he felt the initial resistance before his cock slid into her hot depths, feeling her tight wet walls squeezing about him in welcome. He thrust forward to drive it more deeply, eliciting a cry from her. He focused on trying to hold out as long as he could so that she would be satisfied with this experience. He wanted it to be a memorable occasion she could look back on with fondness. It would not do to cum too quickly. Her tightness made it a tough battle nonetheless. The shadow mistress moaned, nails lightly scratching over his sides as she spread her hips open further to give him better access to drive deeper. Tears leaked from the edges of her eyes. It was beyond words feeling him inside her finally after all this time. When his hips finally met hers, the feeling of the full penetration of him inside her set the firestorm raging forth. Goddess, she wanted to... No! She needed to fuck her brains out on this man's incredible length until she was a drooling mess of a cock drunk slut. "What the..." Blaze said in surprise with powerful hands seized him, her hips pushing up as she rolled him aside onto his back. She groaned huskily as she straddled his hips, still impaled on that pole. She leaned forward and nuzzled his neck, kissing and nipping at it passionately. "I need it, Blaze. I love the tenderness, but right now I need it more like the last time. The intensity of it," Lexiss crooned, writhing over him with wriggling hips about his cock. Her slender hips rose and fell over his, riding him slowly at first but quickening with each passing moment. Blaze felt her lips leave him as she leaned back, riding his cock fluidly. Her long black hair swayed along her back as her breasts bounced with each movement on her chest. She took his wrists in iron grips, positioning one on her hip and the other on full breast. "Touch me more, Blaze," She moaned encouragingly. He could not help but blink in awe as the sensual being above him was overcome with her lust. The feeling of her hot tunnel coiling about him as she rode him was incredible. It was becoming more difficult to resist flooding her with cum. His hands squeezed her tit, making her give a lusty gasp. Her skilled hips rolled and rocked over his, the sultry sound of their wet copulation formed loud slaps from hips meeting. Both lovers were soon awash in their pleasures as the sex became more intense. Before long they became lost to instinct. Blaze was thrusting up to meet her downward motions, bouncing her curvaceous body up and down upon his meaty sword. Her large gray tits vigorously jiggled about as they both groaned in nearing that cliff's edge. "Lexiss... I'm going to come soon!" Blaze growled through grit teeth. It was just too much pleasure to resist any longer for him. "Yes, Blaze! Hold my hips and fill me!" Lexiss cried out as she rode him blissfully. "I am so close. Goddess yes! YES!" She felt his powerful hands seize control of her hips on both sides. The human used his strength to thrust is cock up into the shadow demon's tight pussy with hard fast strokes. Gray skin shone with the wet sheen of her sweat as she rode him with equal ferocity. Her moans quickly became sharp screams of need that pierced the air with each thrust. "YES! YES! YESSS! FUCK ME! FUCK ME BLAZE! I'M CUMMING! I'M CUMMING! I'M CUUUUMMMIIINGGG!!! YEEEEEEESSSS!!!" Lexiss shrieked as her hips jerked forward and slammed her vivacious form over his, embedding him fully inside her as she convulsed wildly. Blaze gasped as he held onto her tightly, feeling her juices squirt out of her cunt in a torrent that soaked his hips. Her squeezing walls were too much! His cock gave her what she desired. Thick ropes of cum erupted inside her to reach her innermost depths. Lexiss sat there, mouth hanging open and eyes rolled back so only the whites showed. Her body was hot to the touch as several more orgasms rippled through her body. Such an incredible look from this beauty of being struck mute with pleasure kept his arousal rock hard within her, despite having cum twice. The woman wanted the intensity of their first union. He would make sure she got what she desired. "Blaze? What are yo-OOOOOH!" Lexiss moaned in surprise, barely having come out of her orgasmic stupor when she felt him fold his legs and raise them both until he stood upon the bed. Her arms instinctively wrapped about his neck as her long legs locked behind his waist to support herself. Their position caused her to slide down his erection at a different, yet wonderful angle. She hissed with the sparks flying through her sensitive, post-orgasmic cunt. With a grunt, the human in her arms seemed to gather himself in focus before he gave a powerful thrust up into the suspended woman. "OH!" Lexiss said with mouth open in the very shape of that word, purple eyes wide open. The long cock slid back out as he reared back before slamming upward into her again. She nearly became limp in his arms as she saw stars explode into her vision with every thrust. "OH! MY! GODS!" Blaze was breathing hard and almost growling in his focus, using his body's strength and endurance to pound away at her cunt. Lexiss found herself leaning backward as she was thrown up and down on the large meaty rod impaling her beautifully. Helpless to the onslaught of physical strength and pleasure tearing through her, she frantically reached above and behind her. Her hands found the bedpost behind her lurching body and grabbed it firmly. Both bodies were dripping with sweat of the exertion of their rough mating. Lexiss held on for dear life to the bedpost behind her as her breasts bounced about with her lush body suspended above the bed. Blaze held her hips firmly and fucked her with the hard strokes she could not get enough of. Her grip nearly slipped as her eyes rolled up again, feeling the oncoming rush once more but with greater ferocity than the last time. She both dreaded and eagerly waited for what would surely be her greatest orgasm ever. "Lexiss! I am close again already," he grunted. "Yes!" came her sobbing cry in response, so fucked completely in her ecstatic state. "Again then! Fill me again!" He couldn't hold back much longer if he wanted to. Her cunt walls were milking him for all that he had left in him. Hands lifting her hips up further into her arms, the human gave a loud long roar as he began to lay into her frothing pussy as his spunk poured into her. Blazing Glory Ch. 14 "FUCK! FUCK! YEEESSS! TEAR ME APART YOU SWEET BASTARD! DESTROY MY CUNT WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL COCK! YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!" Lexiss shrieked at the top of her lungs, her juices spraying out of her in torrents as her mind was obliterated by pleasure she never thought possible. Blaze slowed his thrusts as he became too exhausted to do anything more than stand there supporting her. He looked down to his body drenched with sweat and her cum. That had been more intense than he had expected it to be. He hoped it is what she had wished for. Looking up to Lexiss, he blinked in surprise. "Lexiss?" He asked with growing concern. The shadow mistress hung there with her hands in a frozen grip on the bedpost. Her eyes rolled up and her tongue hung out of her mouth. Her body shivered and quaked every now again from a series of mini-orgasm. She had passed out!? He looked on in shock with her cock drunk expression before he carefully helping ease her down to the bed. "Lexiss, come on now," He spoke, gently patting her cheek in nervousness. He was afraid he had gone too far this time. After a few moments, her breathing steadied before she blinked her eyes a few times to regain her focus. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you alright?" Lexiss could only look to him in wonder for a moment as she slowly nodded. It had been more than she ever hoped to experience. The former servant of Koas nearly wanted to cry that she would never get to experience such with him again. But it was just punishment after what she had done to him. She leaned up to kiss him briefly before wrapping her arms about him in loving embrace. "Thank you, Blaze," she whispered tearfully into his ear. "Thank you..." ******************** Rae glanced up when the door opened. Her red eyes focused as both Lexiss and Blaze exited the bedroom. Her elven ears had heard everything. The shadow mistress had gotten her wish granted to the fullest of her desires. As much as she did not care for the demand, the passionate screams leaving that room had left her wet between her legs. Seeing her sister squirm slightly across from her told her that Rizarra felt it too. They had both shared in that ecstasy not all the long ago. However, she hoped this would be the last time Lexiss made such a request. She doubted the succubus would tolerate anything more. Still, she was thankful that Lexiss had not done anything treacherous to her lover while inside that room. "Took you both long enough to clean up," she chided them with a sigh. Blaze scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed chuckle while Lexiss turned her head with a deep blush. Rae stepped up to touch Blaze, sending healing magic in his body specifically aimed to replenish his strength and stamina. He had had sex with three women in one day after all. "If you had taken any longer with her, I might have rushed in to tackle you for myself, Patron." "Now that is done," Rizarra said, pushing herself from the wall, "We should get moving quickly to the next task at hand. I will guide you through the underworld to the domain of the Mistress of Chaos. We only need to fetch Kendra but she hasn't returned yet. I am concerned about her well-being. She went alone to face hundreds of demons after all." A flash of dark movement startled them along with the wet thud of something hitting the wall before falling to the ground. The source of the noise rolled slightly towards them into the light. All of them recoiled at the head of what appeared to be a female with green skin and dark green hair. What remained of her face was a look of sheer horror that disquieted even the drow present. Kendra stepped around the corner, her naked body covered head to toe in blood. "Kendra..." Blaze started, hesitating before reaching out to her, "Are you okay?" The demoness looked to them nonchalantly, as if wondering at their amazed expressions. "What? Never been better. Is that a bedroom in there? I trust there is a bath?" She said pointing to where Blaze and Lexiss had come out from. Rizarra could only nod numbly as she walked past all of them with a grin. "Fine then. Give me a few moments to clean up and I will be ready. Please leave my clothes inside." Blaze stared in wonder as Kendra walked in without another word. He had always known she was a woman who he did not want to anger. But the coldness that emanated from her reminded him that she was still a demon. As Rae passed him to follow her friend inside with her clothing, he felt Lexiss trembling behind him. He could hear the drow conversing with the demoness inside. The shock wore off after a number of minutes and he looked behind him to Lexiss. She was still shaking uncontrollably, unsettled greatly by the grisly sight. It would not be a far reaching guess that she knew it could have been her head lying there upon the floor. He put a hand on her shoulder comfortingly. "Don't worry, Lexiss. She may not like you, but I can tell she has no hostile intentions toward you," he said reassuringly. "Blaze is right," Rae said as she stepped back outside, closing the door behind her. "I can tell my friend worked it out of her system. Strange... I almost pity those poor demons for what they must have faced. That is until she told me just now that they all had raped her before we arrived." Blaze stiffened at this revelation as Rae looked apologetically to him. "I am sorry but I felt you should know, despite her keeping this from you in her own way of trying to protect you. The world can be a cruel place, but even more cruel in the world of demons." He couldn't help but look past the door where Kendra was cleaning their filth from her. A part of him was filled with self-loathing for not having arrived sooner to save her. Yet he knew this had been Kendra's score to settle. Already he could hear her telling him not to worry about it any further. His mind now focused on Koas. The goddess had gone too far in starting this war. She went even further to set horrible demons upon the woman he loved in order to break him. This madness was going to stop. Looking to Rae, they both shared a knowing look along the same thoughts. After a short while of waiting, the door opened. Kendra stepped outside as she finished tying the laces of her leather vest. Taking the towel hanging about her neck to ruffle the moisture out of blonde hair one last time, Kendra gave them that familiar bright smile. "Ready. Let's go give hell to the goddess since she likes chaos so much," she said cheerfully, the corner of her mouth turned upward into a smirk. They all agreed whole-heartedly as Rizarra turned to lead them out of the building. Rae poked and teased Kendra mercilessly along the way in an unusual display of affection for her friend. Clearly the drowess was just as relieved to have Kendra back. "I always thought you succubi loved to swallow cum, not spew it out," Rae laughed as they descended from the buildings entrance. Kendra nearly stumbled on a step before blushing as she smacked the arm the amused dark elf lightly. "Hush, Rae! I shared that only with you in confidence," she whispered with a nervous glance back towards Blaze, whom was talking with Lexiss. "It's not like I had a choice. The damn bitch was in my ass and ejaculating an absurd amount." "Still sounds kind of kinky. All that cum to go all the way through your body," Rae chuckled before her red eyes widened with an idea. "Perhaps I should research to see if there is a spell that could make our dear Blaze cum that much for us?" "Rae!" Kendra looked to her with shock before shaking her head. "Don't be silly!" Rae hummed softly to herself in amusement as she observed Kendra acting in disapproval, but give a sideways glance in thoughtful consideration of the idea. The drowess looked forward to the day they could all be together again without worry where such amusement between friends would be commonplace. "Lexiss! I finally found you," came a shout to startle them all out of their reverie and conversations. The shadow mistress gave a shocked gasp as they all looked to the source of the voice down the empty street. Standing there calmly with an arrogant expression was a woman with short blue hair and intense orange eyes. A Shoushan woman in ninja garb. "Nariko! What are you doing here?" Lexiss managed to say, despite the fear nearly freezing her in place at being found out by one of her former cohorts. Blaze stepped in front of the shadow mistress protectively as his lightened mood darkened immediately. While he had not seen her face in his pursuit of her after poisoning Tyra, he had heard enough from Rae's description to know whom they faced. "What am I doing here? To retrieve you, of course," the ninja sneered at her. "Our goddess was suspicious of your delayed return. She sent me to see if Ulthar was up some treachery... or if you were." "But why would the goddess even suspect me of such a thing," Lexiss responded, panic starting to fill her with an impulse to starting running as fast as she could. "You really think Koas didn't recognize the change in you after your first encounter with that man? Even the rest of us could tell you were somehow different. Yet our goddess chose to continue believing in you, considering you were born from her very essence. It is amazing that you could betray Koas, who is technically your mother. I can't wait to tell her!" Nariko laughed, those orange eyes glaring at Lexiss with hatred. "Do not think I have forgiven you taking me from my sister's protection. Because of you and that pointy-eared rat, I was forced into the humiliation of being gang-banged by a whole village of centaurs! When I tell Koas of your actions, she will no doubt send as many of her servants to wipe you out. You will be hunted to the ends of the world and never given a moments rest." "Vith! You always seem to like running your mouth. It is well enough to hear the goddess shut you up with a mouthful of centaur cock," Rae said with a laugh, smirking as the ninja stiffened in indignation at her words. "Silence, rat!" the ninja said hatefully as she spat on the ground in disgust. Rizarra hissed angrily at her sister being disrespected but was stopped from lunging forward to kill the woman by Rae's restraining arm. She looked to give her sister a tongue-lashing for stopping her. She was every bit as capable as her sibling. Rae's wide-eyed, fearful look stopped her from doing so. "Dalninil?" Rizarra uttered, confounded by Rae's expression. "Leave her to me. You all must leave, quickly!" Rae said with urgency, looking behind her with the others with the same panicked expression. The others looked to her with the same confusion. What had suddenly overcome the drowess? "Don't be ridiculous," Kendra answered her firmly. "We are your friends. We are not leaving each other now that we are back together. We can easily take her down together." Rae shook her head insistently. She had felt the throbbing vibration in her ring sabers about the same moment Nariko had insulted her. It was coming. She could feel the air beginning to chill already. There was no stopping what was about to occur. They had to flee! They had to get away from her! "I can handle this. Please... Please don't make me beg. I can't explain but I don't want you to see what will happen. That is the most I can say!" Rae said, her voice rising with the growing sense of urgency. Blaze looked on with wonder at this sudden change in Rae that none of them had seen in her before as Kendra and Rizarra began arguing with her. The tears forming at the corner of the drowess's eyes confirmed his thoughts. Rae was desperate. He had never seen her like this. She must want them gone for a very good reason. Many people had their secrets, even from friends. After all, Kendra had hidden her true identity from them out of fear all this time. He knew he couldn't understand what would drive this, but he knew he had to respect Rae's wishes if he truly cared for her. "Come. We are leaving this to her. I trust Rae can handle Nariko," He said as before looking to Rizarra, retreating down the street away from the ninja. "Lead us out of here." "What?" shouted a furious ninja as he turned to leave, "I heard that you bastard!" Meanwhile, Rizarra looked about as ready to argue with him as Kendra was, but both of them saw the determined look in his eyes. Nodding, Rizarra turned and began to run down the street to catch up to him. Kendra looked pained with worry as she gave one last look to her friend before following them out of the ruined city. Rae watched them go, thankful that they had listened to her. She would never forgive herself they had stayed as she likely would have killed them too. "It doesn't matter, rodent," Nariko sneered as she observed them leave. She shrugged her shoulders in mock exasperation as if dealing with children. "Once I dispatch you, I will find them. They'll be dead as you, all the same." Nariko's smirk slowly faded as she watched the shoulders of the drow tremble before her laughter became audible. What was this vile elf so amused about? She must know she couldn't beat a ninja of her skill in one on one combat. "No. Your fate is as good as sealed because he has come for you," the drowess laughed as she looked over her shoulder back to the ninja. Nariko was about to tear apart this false bravado when she stopped, her eyes looking down to see her breath becoming visible. Her body shivered as she felt the air becoming much colder than it had been a moment before. "What damn trickery are you up to?" She demanded as she looked back to the drowess to see a low mist crawling across the ground and spreading out from where the elf stood. Nariko cautiously stepped back as she pulled out a kunai. Was this some kind of illusionary magic? Or was it some kind of preparation for a magic attack? Her eyes spotted a dark mass begin to form within the mist before starting to grow. The smirk on Rae's face became wicked as the dark mass began to take shape. It rose out of the mist spread further to the rest of the city streets. As the shape coalesced, gnawing suspicion gradually became growing recognition. Nariko swallowed deeply as she tried to contain her fear. She must be mistaken! "N-no.. This isn't possible!" Nariko stammered. Staggering backwards, urine splashing forth as the ninja soiled herself. The terror had taken hold of her. "How? Not with a worthless rat like you! How could you even be worthy?" Rae turned around to fully face the terrified Shoushan woman as the towering cowled figure stood next to her, ultimately confirming her fears as it brought out a large blood stained scythe. She understood why the drowess said her fate was sealed because of who came for her. Death... ******************** The air was very still, providing little relief to those trying to rest during the near-moonless summer night. The small silvery crescent gave very little light as it made its trek across the sky. The human village called Liosis was large enough in size to where some would begin calling it a city. It had grown prosperous due to the discovery of rare metals and gems in the nearby mountains. This had increased trade with races that coveted such materials and wealth, like the dwarves. As such, people flocked to the human city on the outskirts of most kingdoms. They sought vast wealth free of taxation that the kingdoms imposed. What they found instead was not what they expected. They discovered quickly Liosis was ramp with corruption where only a few prospered while the rest wallowed in decrepit conditions of poverty. There was a small click to the window of one of these prestigious manors of the rich. The simple latch was gently lifted out of the way with the narrow point of the blade. Slowly, but quietly the window was opened until there was enough room for the dark figure to slip inside. Cautiously it crouched under the windowsill, attentive with listening for any sound of alarm or presence as those malevolently glowing red eyes glanced about. Rae thought this night was going well so far as she had not been discovered yet. She prided herself in being able to make many kills without being discovered. The drowess was often long gone before the body was found. It was secret game she amused herself with. A few times she was discovered by a person before she would kill them swiftly to keep her presence unknown. Tonight was a success in the initial infiltration as she had traversed many rooftops naked, her pitch black skin allowing her to blend in with the night's darkness. Her eyes glanced about the beautiful ornate furniture around the room. Lavish rugs and priceless paintings further emphasized the hedonistic lifestyle of the owner. There was the occasional clink of sword and armor on the first floor below from the guards. The owner of this residence was, in fact, the governor of Liosis. She had gathered enough details from her employers that this man was the most corrupt soul this city had to offer. This governor's corruption ranged from buying votes to keep his position while also violently suppressing or removing his opposition behind the scenes. The fool! Rae's lips curled upward into a wicked smirk. This governor was not smart enough to keep a balance of how much was too far before the people would act. Powerless before his hired mercenaries and guards, the people of this town secretly pooled what little money they had left to hire as assassin. The money was a pittance and well short of what her services were worth, but she was bored out of her mind. She more than happily took the job to rid the world of this little worm. These people should be grateful that one of the best assassins in the realm was being so generous. Rae stiffened as she heard something within the room. How was it possible that she missed a presence inside this room? She had patiently waited with keen ears to make sure this entry point was clear. Dark pointed ears now checked once more as she remained frozen, a spider ready to spring into action should it be a surprise attack waiting. The drowess heard it again, a sound that was even faint for her hearing to pick up. A whimper. Pulling her curved dagger out of the single cord wrapped about her bare waist, Rae crawled forward with caution. As she reached a lavish chair, she peered around to see a crumpled form trembling on the rug. Glancing about to see if this was some trap, the dark assassin slowly moved her way forward to the whimpering form. There were no signs of any other presence within the room. She roughly poked the form with the tip of her dagger, surprised when a small chirp of pain erupted from the form. Rae saw the terrified eyes of a girl turn toward her. From what she observed, it was a human girl that had hardly been in the world more than a decade. One of the locals, the drowess surmised. "Are... are you an angel come for me, miss?" the terrified girl choked out in fear, her whole body trembling. Rae nearly snorted in derision at such a ridiculous notion. What stopped her was what she saw more clearly in the dark. Even though the girl wore a simple white dress, it could not hide the tears in the fabric or the blood stains splattered across its length. What would normally have been pale skin was covered in cuts and black bruises. The girl's face was heavily battered with one eye swollen shut and blood leaking from her broken nose. For the first time in her young life, the drowess found herself speechless. Memories came flooding back of her training as a drow warrior during her childhood. She'd received numerous beatings during those trials and even beat other children to prove her worth as drow. Eventually those beatings between drow children turned into death matches to see who would survive. "N-no," The drow stammered as she finally found her voice, unsure why a human child would be in such horrid condition. Should she simply cut her throat to avoid any alarm being raised by the child? Oddly, the thought quickly disappeared from her mind whereas most drow would have followed through. "What is your name child?" Why? Why did she ask that question? It served no purpose! The girl sniffed as she trembled still, Rae knowing now it was coming from the intense pain her young battered body was in. Blazing Glory Ch. 14 "Lily." Rae's red eyes blinked as she heard this name. Simple, yet pretty like the humans favored in naming their offspring. Often times there was special meaning behind each name. She did not know of many, but had come across this name in one of her prior targets. It meant innocence. Rae's breath froze in her lungs as her mind raced through the various reports of happenings in Liosis that the governor was suspected of being tied to. One of those was the disappearances of many families, including those with children. "Please be quiet, Lily," Rae hushed her reassuringly as her hand gently slid down the girl's dress. Red eyes carefully observed with her tilted head as the hem was softly raised and pulled back a bit. Her breath left her in a rush as she trembled. That filthy, vithing son of a bitch! She violently fought uprising in her stomach as her eyes, wild with rage, she glared towards the door that would lead to her target. She would skin him alive for this! "The bad man had me and my mama taken from our home today. He hurt me so much," Lily cried, tears streaking her bruised face. Rae's whole body trembled as she tried to reign in her emotions. Why was it bothering her to this extent? Rae pressed her hands to the girl's body. Furthermore, where was this desire to help the girl suddenly coming from? Her magic flood forth, easing the girl's pain as far as her talent would allow. Closing her eyes, she focused on trying to heal her injuries. She gasped as she found the girl was far worse internally than she appeared on the outside. This was beyond her current abilities. She cursed herself mentally. Given a few more decades of experience, she could have handled this. "Lily... I... I... can't save you," Rae spoke, finding herself surprised at the emotion breaking in her tone. She couldn't let such a life end like this. To the Abyss if she didn't understand why she felt all this turmoil within her. It was just how it was. She was always prideful in her successes and knowing how to accept failures. But she couldn't forgive herself in failing in this moment. "What is your name, miss?" Lily asked, before a fit of coughing seized her. Rae dropped her dagger and reached out with her arms to pull Lily into her body comfortingly. "Rae. Rae Nitara," she answered as she continued to flood her magic into Lily's body to ease the pain. "Easy now, little one." The human girl looks up to her and sniffed, knowing what her fate was coming to in its finality. "Miss Rae... I'm scared..." The assassin looked up to the ceiling, eyes wildly searching for something to say or do to comfort the girl in her final moments. Her kind was not known for such preposterous notions as giving such kindness to the dying. The dying were simply not good enough to survive in this world and only had themselves to blame in the end. Only the strong find the will to continue down the path of the living. "Mama always said an angel would come for us when our time came," Lily whispered, shivering in more in fear at the moment than from her pain. "But.. I am scared of going on without my mama. I don't want to go on alone." A lone memory sparked in Rae's mind as the girl mentioned her mother. It had been long forgotten, buried underneath to brutality of the physical and mental conditioning of serving Lloth. She had once been afraid of going on alone into the underworld without her mother. She was a weak, needy child. Weakness that would surely get her killed unless she found some kind of strength to push through what was merely days away. There was no secret about the harshness that awaited her. The thought of being led out into the underworld and abandoned for survival training to make it back terrified her. Many drow children were killed or consumed by the horrors out there. She had hid in their manor for a long time until her mother found her. Rather than beat Rae for her stubbornness, her mother had taken her into her arms and surprised her with what she did. Rae wasn't sure she would be any good at this, but closed her eyes as she hummed softly while her fingers caressed Lily's cheek. Slowly, softly her voice came out as she sang her mother's words as best she could from Drow to Common. "Just let yours fears go, You will find your way back home. Let your fears go, You will find you are not lost. No, little child of mine, You're not alone. You're not alone. For we're tied together forever. Just let your fears go, You will find your way through the dark. Just let your fears go, You will find your path leading to light. And you will come back to me, Where I will always be for you." Her voice softly trailed off as she blinked her wet eyes, remembering the smell and softness of her mother's embrace as she was sung to. It was a surreal experience to witness her mother expressing such love for her. Rae looked down and was surprised to see Lily smiling, fresh tears leaking from her eyes. Lily closed her eyes and turned her head into Rae's chest. "You're so warm," the girl whispered before she stilled, with that smile on her face. Rae's heart leapt into her throat as she felt the body go limp in her arms. The drow gently placed the girl's body back on the floor before her arms wrapped about her stomach. The normally cold assassin hunched over, long silvery hair spilling over her shoulders as her mouth opened in a silent scream. Her body shuddered as her sobs wracked her entire body, tears falling down to splash upon the Lily's face. Why? Why was this tearing her apart inside? The girl was simply not strong enough to survive! There was no warrant for sympathy, let alone grief. Only the strong survive. The weak perished as they deserved! Her mind screamed the mantra that had been drilled into her. This world was a cruel place where children died all the time. It was ridiculous that one death would affect her when she had killed so many people. Yet here she was, silently writhing in agonizing grief over a girl she had just met. Nothing she had said or done so far made any sense. Was she a failure as a drow then? Why did she care when all others would not? "Because you are different than them, Rae Nitara." Rae froze as the words were spoken. She had left herself completely exposed. Her hand swiftly found her dagger on the floor and spun about the face the source of the voice. The blade nearly dropped from her hand as she saw the other presence in the room. Fear nearly caused her to scream out loud. Standing in the light of the window was a tall figure covered by a large black cloak. The hood was pulled up to where only the glow of yellow eyes could be seen. The very air seemed to chill so that she could see the minimal breath that escaped from her as she observed the black wings protruding from the figure's back. What gave this dark figure's identity away was the unmistakable skeletal hand holding the large, blood stained scythe. "Death," she whispered, her body trembling. The presence of Death could only mean one thing. Her hand tightened on her dagger. She leapt over Lily's body protectively, dagger risen to the specter and hissing viciously. Rae gasped as she had meant to defend herself by leaping away. "Case in point," came the hollow, cold voice as Death tilted his head. "It is futile though. I have already taken her spirit away." The shift in cowl slightly revealed the skeletal facial features. It was disconcerting hearing the voice in her mind but it still sounded like he had spoken aloud. Her heart sank as she knew his words to be true. Her actions had been foolish. "Then you are here for me?" she asked, body tensed as she would not go down without a fight. Yet it seemed insane to think she could hope to win against Death. His head shook slightly as Rae backed away from him. "No. It is not your time yet, dark elf," he looked down to the body of Lily before shifting his cold gaze back to Rae. The drowess felt her blood run cold from those undead eyes. "You Nitaras are a rare breed of drow. To observe a drow showing compassion and kindness is an unusual sight." Rae stiffened and hissed at him. "I did no such thing! I am not weak like surface dwellers!" "Try to deny it as much as you wish to," he stated coldly. His eyes looked to her as if piercing her very soul and laying it open to read like a book. She shifted uncomfortably and averted her eyes slightly. "But I witnessed tonight what I have seen in your soul many times, even during your assassinations. There is good in you, despite being a child of Lloth." Rae stiffened and nearly hurled the dagger into his form, but knew it would do nothing. "I do not have any 'good' inside me, specter. I enjoy the thrill of the kill. I dispatch my victims without mercy. I am a drow through and through!" she hissed, trying to keep her voice from rising too much in her growing anger. "Yet you are very selective in your missions, are you not?" Death replied. Upon seeing the drowess flinch at his words. As he pushed her closer toward the truth of his words, he moved forward slowly to stand over the small form of Lily before pointing down to the body. "I have yet to witness such cruelty from you. That is because you only accept missions to kill those whom you deem deserving of their life being snuffed out. Often times, if they cannot afford your services, you will perform the job for little or no pay. A charitable venture uncommon for an assassin." "Enough! Not another word..." Rae shook her head as she backed further away from Death, the specter was tearing down the walls within her that she had built up over the years. She was a drow! A ruthless murderer! "Murderer?" Death's shifted slightly in what seemed almost like an amused posture. "Your hands are drenched in blood true enough. Dripping heavily in the lives you have taken, but not one drop of innocent blood stains your soul." Trembling, Rae leaned wearily back against the wall as she was cornered by his words. They were true. Trying to deny it under the façade of a heartless drow assassin; she could not bring herself to assassinate those she felt did not deserve death. Only those she researched in depth to discover lavishing in the suffering of others with their depravity and greed were the ones she accepted contracts for. "Is this what you are here for then? To mock me for being a lie? A living mockery to my people and goddess?" She spat in tearful vehemence. "No. I simply wish to assist you," Death answered simply. "Vel'bol?" Rae responded in shock. "Is this more mockery? What do you mean by this?" Death quietly moved over the windows, almost gliding in a way that gave her the chills once more. Glancing outside as if seeing the whole world for what it was in that moment, the shoulders of the specter seemed to lower slightly in fatigue. "I am a being that has existed since the beginning when life first began. I have always been a shepherd of souls to the afterlife they deserve. Yet millennia after millennia passes and I continue to see the same suffering of many innocent people before I come for their souls. All the while corrupt souls live on without consequence. Over time, you could say that I have become sympathetic to their plight despite my nature to remain impartial. Like you, I could no longer deny the feelings these experiences have impressed on me. What you observed tonight, I have seen over a thousand fold," Death whispered. His scythe rattled slightly, causing Rae to observe the dark figure's skeletal hand shake momentarily. Was he angry? "Why not end the lives of these scumbags yourself then?" Rae asked as the implications of his words began to sink in. "Because I cannot. When a life has reached its fated endpoint, I merely come to shepherd the soul to its proper eternal resting place. Be it paradise or inferno, I simply guide them there. I am unable to take personal action myself," the hooded spirit stated simply before turning to point one, long bony finger at her, "Which is where you come in... Nitara..." Rae couldn't suppress the cold shiver than ran down her spine in that moment. What could he want with her? How could she possibly be of any use to an immortal being like Death? "I am not here to use you, but aide your endeavors," Death said chillingly as he glided over to her. His one hand motioned her to rise reassuringly. She only did so begrudgingly. "The gift I will give you will earn you renowned fame as an assassin more so than you already enjoy. All I ask in return is you use this gift when sensing I draw near, indicating your target is one whose time has come. To meet a fate befitting one so twisted in life." Rae swallowed slightly as she thought this offer over. Death did not give her a consequence should she refuse. It was an honest request as she had ever been given. Her anger still simmered beneath the surface as she hungered for the blood of her target tonight more than ever. Would this gift truly make the filthy human suffer for what he did to Lily? She remembered the girl's words that both she and her mother had been taken. It would be a deviation from her initial route to her kill, but a worthy one. "Very well, then" she responded with measured words, "On the condition that I first get the girl's mother out of this rathole." "That is not possible," Death spoke calmly as he shook his head, "The guards raped and killed her mother hours ago." Rae stood there silently in shock from those words before her fists clenched. Her teeth bit into her lower lip as she threw her head back and stifled her furious scream as best could. Panting in her fury as the blood leaked down her chin from her lips, she fixed the skeletal face with red eyes glowing brightly. Death stood there quietly to allow the trembling drow time to recover and speak. "You have a deal only so long as your gift allows me the fond memory of hearing their screams," she hissed. "Indeed it shall," Death said as he moved towards her, "Now that our pact is made, Rae Nitara..." Rae no longer shuddered in fear as the embodiment of life's end approached. She only smirked darkly at the wonderful thoughts of how she was going to kill every corrupt soul in this house in the cruelest fashion possible. That night would become legend in Liosis to be told in hushed tones over the gloom of hearth fires or mugs of ale. A night where the townspeople heard the ungodly screams of what must have been the underworld coming from the governor's house. Too terrified to see what was going on, they only checked the following day. Those brave enough to enter came outside retching and vomiting, telling of blood soaked walls and viscera everywhere. When asked of the governor, every soul blanched and shook their head vehemently in fear the same fate would visit them in the night. Even though none knew of the pact made, it was ironic and fitting that the culprit was given the name Death's Mistress as it was only known to be a woman who took the contract. The townspeople were surprised when this terrifying assassin had all their money for the job returned without a word as to why... ******************** "Nariko Miakoda," Death spoke with chilling finality, "It is time for your existence in this world to come to an end in a death only fitting one so corrupt." Nariko stood there shivering in her fear as her mind continued trying to grasp how this was possible. She had devoted her whole life to being a ruthless ninja. She always envied her sister. Everything Nariko excelled at, Kalei only did better. She did not hate her sister for it, but why could she not catch up to Kalei? Nariko was furious at first when she learned that Koas had approached her older sibling first on becoming a servant. It surprised her when Kalei graciously declined and announced her intentions to start her own ninja clan. It was then that Koas had sensed Nariko's jealousy before the goddess turned to ask her. What had been a day of bitter disappointment quickly became one of profound joy. Nariko proudly served, killing hundreds in the name of her goddess. Men, women, children... It didn't matter so long as she returned to a pleased Mistress of Chaos. And now she was witnessing the embodiment of the world she had chosen to live in standing at the side of the drow instead of her's. Why the damned drow? Why recognize HER? 'Why that filthy black rat!?" Nariko screamed in rage at the cloaked figure. "She doesn't deserve the honor!" "Don't you ever shut up," Rae yelled back in annoyance with the ninja's tantrum. Her derision for this woman grew with every passing moment. "It is no honor, but heavy responsibility I willingly took on to remove filthy stains like you from this world. Come now and accept your fate with what little dignity you have left. Or do I already see all that remained tricking down your legs?" Nariko's eyes grew wide as her face went red with a mixture of intense shame and fury. Rae simply smirked as her as Death moved behind the drowess. The ninja gasped as she watched the skeletal hands rest upon the dark elf's shoulders. Instead of falling lifeless to the ground as the legends tell, Rae's expression changed to pleasure before shivering while the figure behind her began to waiver. Rae wrapped her arms about herself as her shivering increased. As Death's figure faded, a visible change was occurring in the dark elf. What was happening to them? Like ink spilt across a fresh leaflet of white paper, Rae's silvery white hair was turning black. The obsidian black skin recognizable of all drow was now becoming white as the freshest fallen mountain snow. Death's figure had vanished before the dark elf cried out as the clothing on her back ripped, large black feathery wings bursting forth the fan out in their newfound freedom. Rae's hunched body righted itself and arched her back as her body now shivered with what looked to be something else. Tilting her head slightly, the changed elf pulled some dark strands from her white face so that her glowing red eyes fell upon the stunned Shoushan ninja. Pale lips tugged upwards at one corner in a smirk only befitting a dark goddess. Hot pain suddenly burst through Nariko's chest before flooding her entire being. Her body lurched forward from the shock as she clutched her chest. Drawing her hands back in panic to confirm what she feared, her orange eyes saw nothing. No blood soaked her hand nor did she feel its warm wetness flooding from her body. How was that possible? She had certainly felt the searing pain of being run through with a blade. Looking back to Rae, Nariko could see the hunger in those red eyes. How was it possible? That sensation had been from the drow's bloodlust alone? "Oh goddess, you can't be her!" Nariko said, stepping backward as the realization began to fully set in. It was worse than Death merely recognizing an assassin's worth. She had heard the stories of the rare instances of violent deaths over so many decades. The circumstances in which these victims had died frightened many with the grotesque savagery in which they occurred, causing the birth of a legend whispered in corners. Many had claimed to be her over the years. In fact, so many claimed the title that others never thought more of it than boastful behavior and the true existence no more than a silly myth created to scare youngsters. "Y-you... You are Death's Mistress?" The winged wraith before her merely chuckled, "That I am. Many other assassin's claim the title falsely. But as you see, I am the true bringer of oblivion." Rae was inwardly thankful that the others were far away from her by now. She had found that in this state, her bloodlust was almost uncontrollable and she killed everything about her to get to Death's target. To her relief, there had not been any innocents around in the past instances of this change in form. Blazing Glory Ch. 14 Her red eyes narrowed as her pointed ears heard laughter. The kunoichi before her was holding her sides in her amused state, eyes wild with hatred and madness. This sudden change in Nariko from her fearful state moments ago was unexpected. Had the fear broken her mind? "You seem to be well amused for one about to die horribly," Rae said, chuckling softly to herself as her bloodlust continued to rise. "Yes! Because of this, I can kill you and prove my worth to Death," Nariko screamed in laughter, her pretty face warped in madness. "And then I will become the new Death's Mistress!" "Oh?... Really now?" Rae's voice hummed pleasantly, eyes regarding Nariko in her own amusement. Her hand rose, crooked finger beckoning the ninja mockingly, words dripping with venom. "Then come foolish child. Let us see if you can take the title from me." "You'll regret those words," Nariko spat at her as she sneered. Rae reached behind her to draw her ring sabers from their sheathes and spinning them into her hands. Her eyes narrowed as Nariko swiftly raised her hands together in front of her chest before making a series of hand signs before holding the fifth sign in front of her. The drowess wondered what she was up to with this strange action. She had researched ninjas before, having had to eliminate some in previous experiences. None had acted like this. Carefully watching for any movement, the ninja began to fade from her view behind a growing mist. "What trickery are you up to?" Rae hissed in irritation as she glanced about. Where had this fog come from? It was not the same as Death's mist crawling across the ground. This mist rose above the ground and surrounded her completely. Nariko was no longer in her normal vision as the blanket of mist grew thicker to where she could only see a few feet in front of her. She did not sense the weaving of any magic like she normally would, yet somehow Nariko was manipulating the air around. Her pointed ears twitched at the faint whistling sound coming from her left. The wraith elf spun to meet the flurry spinning metal stars slicing out of the fog into her vision. Cursing in irritation, she focused on those that would certainly strike her. Her blades slashed outwards to deflect those few while the others flew past. Outside of her target's field of vision, Nariko burst from the fog with her kunai raised above her to strike. A twisted grin upon her face, she nearly laughed at how easy this would be to strike the drowess down from behind. This black skinned rat would pay for her insolence in underestimating her. No one living knew of her clan's abilities because they never lived to spread the knowledge. Against this unknown, she had the advantage over the drowess. The ninja's confident expression evaporated as Rae's back turned at that moment with her own astonishing speed. Blood shot from her open mouth while the pain exploded through her midsection. The drowess drilled a kick into her with enough power to send her flying back to crash through the wall of a nearby building. Rae observed the fog dispersing after this successful counterattack, confirming her suspicions. "You really thought I'd lost your presence in the fog?" Rae hummed in amusement. With Death inside her, she would never lose sight of her target's soul. She had to admit she was surprised the ninja was using life magic, a lost art that was risky. Most magic wielders used the magic flowing through the world around them and through their bodies. Life magic was the connected to the soul and particularly risky to use. It could replenish itself quickly in time with relation to the user's stamina. But if the user was not careful in its use, exhausting one's life magic resulted in death. Life magic had fallen out of favor centuries ago as a result to where few still knew about it. "You filthy rat eared whore!" Nariko's shriek came from the gaping hole in the wall, drawing Rae out of her brief thoughts. She would have to be careful, as life magic could be very powerful. Her bangs lifted away from her eyes as the air began to stir about her. Looking about, she cursed as the air turned into a violent whirlwind around her. Her hair whipped about as her wings caught the air currents and threw her tumbling up into air. Everything was spinning about rapidly, glimpses of buildings moving further away as she was flung higher up into the air. "VITH!" Rae hissed in rage as she knew what was coming finally happed as the searing pain exploded through her back, her wings breaking as she slammed into the cavern ceiling high above the city. Glancing to her right, she sighed in relief that she had just missed being speared through by a large stalactite. Her ears picked up the faint whistling in the howling wind as she dropped from the ceiling back into the windstorm. The drowess hissed in frustration as she flooded her wings with healing magic. Bones snapped back into place before she whipped them about to shield her body as best she could. Dozens of kunai and shuriken blades spun about in the air as they rose the meet her. Sharp metal clangs filled her hearing as they impacted the granite ceiling. A small number sliced through her skin in her few exposed areas while her wings deflected most of the others. The whirlwind finally began to dissipate, allowing Rae to unfurl them. Her red eyes glared down at the city below, locking on the lone soul leaping across rooftops. Her wings beat the air as her bloodlust reached its peak. Nariko's gaze looked up, frustrated in seeing the small figure high above moving about. With the aid of a small burst of her magic, her legs launched her across the gap onto the roof of the next building. Somehow the drow was still alive. Her hands met in front of her again as she began to channeling. Her breath froze in her lungs as a booming voice shocked her out of her focus. "Alright! Enough toying around then. You want to play rough, ninja girl?" Rae's chilling cold laughter filled the air. "Then let's get rough!" The ninja skidded to a halt as bright white tendrils flew outward from Rae's figure above. They spun about, weaving and connecting together as the threads of magic lit the ceiling. Her eyes widened and heart leapt into her throat as the weaving web continued expanding until it was the size of the city itself. Crawling across its massive expanse where thousands of small white spiders. No one had this much magic prowess! No one! This was not possible, Nariko's mind howled in panic. Above her, the drowess eyes glowed malevolently with her fanged smile as her raised hand dropped down. Spider after spider released itself from the web, thousands falling down upon her and the city in a glittering rain. It would have been beautiful if it was not terrifying at the same time. There was nowhere for her to run. "SHIT!!!" Nariko screamed as her hands came together to channel as the rain of spiders came crashing down. In that moment, the city of T'rissjra ceased to be. Bright fires erupted everywhere as the city was lit up by countless thundering explosions. Debris of all kinds flew everywhere in the cacophony of chaos. Buildings groaned in dying as they fell over while others collapsed into themselves. Dust and smoke billowed up throughout the large cavern as flames engulfed the shattered remains of T'rissja's skeleton. Rae smirked with satisfaction at the sight of the destruction. She was always pleased with how her magical power was amplified when in this form. Had she been in this form during the war, she could very well have taken care of most of the enemy by herself. Her red eyes looked down upon the city as she glided toward the glowing soul that told her Nariko still lived. Death's Mistress was curious how the ninja had managed to survive. Landing upon the roof of one of the few buildings still left standing, her vision focused on the cocoon of stone in front of her. All around it were shattered stone. What surprised her was how the roof structure surrounding this shell looks to have been melted and reformed. The ninja used the stone to form a several layers of barriers around herself as a shield from the explosions? Rae grudgingly had to admit this was an impressive feat. Nariko staggered out from behind where it had partially caved in and fell to her knees, coughing and bleeding from her head. Ring sabers raised, Rae walked around the stone cocoon to finish the job. She stopped momentarily as she heard a crack from the weakened roof structure beneath her feet. "Got you!" Nariko's voice came from behind. "What?" The shocked wraith turned about to see the kunoichi in midair. Her red eyes widened as she realized she had been fooled. It had been a clone using life magic, the same magic linked to the soul her eyes tracked. She cursed this oversight in not being more observant of her surroundings. Nariko sent her kunai whistling through the air to slice into the stone at her feet. The drowess gasped when the cracking floor finally gave way, sending her plummeting down into the floor below. Coughing and rising to her feet, she glared upward at the gaping hole she had fallen through. "Die bitch," Nariko laughed as her form leapt over the hole and hurled a handful of black pellets down into the room with her. Rae cursed in annoyance as they fell all about her and began to hiss with smoke and sparks. Normally she would have thought them a silly trick, but not from what she had observed from the kunoichi so far. They were likely infused with concentrated life magic. Rae sprinted forward as the hissing quickly increased. Wings shielding her form, Death's Mistress shattered the remains of the window as she burst through. Once outside, she unfurled the great raven wings and gave a mighty thrust forward as the building behind her was incinerated in the bomblets' blast. She tumbled in the air before righting herself in time to land in the street, her boots skidding through the debris as it rained down. "Damn you," Rae hissed as she was beginning to get irritated, her bloodlust yet to be satiated. Nariko sat perched on top of a nearby building's burning skeleton, looking down at her with a maddened smirk. Rae threw her ring sabers down; their blade's biting into the pavement to remain upright. That smirk on the ninja's face faded as the ethereal form of a large scythe cloaked in black flame appeared in the Rae's outstretched arms. The wraith elf twirled it about her form as she spun towards the building. "Get down here!" Rae's voice boomed as she hurled the large weapon, its form spinning rapidly into a giant circular projectile slicing through the air. The whirlwind blade cut through the structure, bringing it to further ruin as it toppled over. Rae's hands seized her sabers as the ninja leapt from the crumbling building toward her. "Yes! YES! Come at me! Let us finish this little game!" Nariko screamed in hatred as she fell upon Rae, the sparks flying with the harsh metallic clang in kunai meeting saber as drow and ninja clashed. Tumbling to the ground and rolling to her feet, Nariko turned about to meet the oncoming drowess. Death's Mistress laughed as their blades met in a deadly dance, her body spinning about with rapid slashes high and low with of elfish speed. Nariko grimaced with her single kunai, put on the defensive as they dance about the flaming ruins of the city. "Damn it all," Nariko cursed in frustration as she was being pressed back by the continuous onslaught. She could not keep up with this speed for much longer. In desperation, she leapt backwards as Rae gave a mighty upward swing with her blade that missed. Taking this moment that the drow needed to recover, Nariko channeled her hands together as she landed. The flames about her whipped about and coalesced in the massive forms of several large flaming tigers. The flaming beasts grew with the roar of living fire, converging upon the drowess. The ninja smirked as she would use the very destruction her foe had caused to finish her. "Burn in hell!" She yelled, laughing with the triumph of becoming the new Death's Mistress in mere moments. "No, foolish child. You will be the one to burn," Rae hissed, switching her one blade to be held with the other swiftly as she thrust out her freed hand, palm open. Black flame erupted from her outstretched arm into a giant cone of destruction. Nariko's conjurations were engulfed in the darkness as it roared forth in a wave of complete annihilation. This attack was similar to the desert battle and start of the war at the coastline, but this time the flames were amplified by her form. The flames engulfed half the ruins of the city before crashing into the cavern wall with thunderous force, solid granite melting from the intense heat. Rae's glowing eyes narrowed, observing the gaping ditch as the explosive sound of her attack reverberated off the stone walls. Nothing remained in the path, even flames had been extinguished by the concussive force. Glancing about her in the flaming ruins that escaped the destructive blast, she frowned as she observed the glowing soul moving quickly away. Nariko must have used the large form of the tigers to obscure Rae's vision to stage an early exit should her attack failed. The drowess spat on the ground before spreading her wings and thrusting them to launch herself in pursuit. Wings beating the air, her form weaved through tattered buildings and flames, smoke stinging her eyes as she rapidly closed in. It seemed the ninja was growing tired. The hunt would soon come to its conclusion. Her tongue slid out to wet her lips in anticipation. Nariko panted heavily as she stopped in a small open plaza, looking about to see a few structures still intact enough for the purpose she wanted. Her tired body burned in protest, but she paid it no mind. She spun about hurling every last kunai and shuriken she had to imbed themselves into the stone. She could already hear the beating of wings coming in her direction. The ninja panted heavily from the exertion as she backed up to lean against a wall that was half collapsed while facing the direction her enemy came from. The wraith elf's form came through the billowing smoke as Nariko had hoped. Her lips smirked as she saw those red eyes widen too late at seeing the glowing lines of life magic attached to her weapons, forming a web in the air. Rae tried to dive away, but it was too late as her forward momentum carried her into the trap. The drowess let out a scream of fury as she became entangled in the life fibers. Her gaze found Nariko before she struggled even more violently to get at her, causing the strings to tighten about her entangled limbs and wings. "Enough of this," Nariko sighed in relief as she raised her open hand outward, "I am ready to receive my new title and Death's blessing as the superior. No more waiting!" She laughed as her hand closed into a fist. Rae screamed in agony as the threads tightened immediately, ripping through flesh and bone. Arms, legs, and black wings fell to the ground as blood poured out of the mutilated torso of the drow. Nariko laughed as victory was finally hers! She would be the new bringer of death into this world. Countless numbers would fall victim to her as her goddess commanded. Koas would cherish her newfound abilities from Death's blessing and would become the number one servant of the dark goddess. She almost cried in profound joy at the thought. But she could not as the sound of laughter reached her. The ninja stepped out from the wall in shock. How could it be possible to survive such physical trauma? Looking up in surprise to the remains of the drowess, she saw Rae looking down at her with such malevolence. "Foolish child," Rae laughed with a wicked grin, "You really think you could trap a spider within a web? Or..." "Be the only one able to make clones?" the voice hissed softly into Nariko's ear. The kunoichi screamed in surprise and horror. She realized her fatal mistake as she lashed out with her fist behind her. Rae easily ducked the desperate attack and grabbed the Nariko's wrist with an iron grip. Slamming it against the wall, the wraith elf slammed her ring saber into the open palm. The sharp blade tore through flesh before embedding itself into stone, pinning her hand there. The ninja shrieked as she frantically reached to free herself with her free hand. However, Rae was already in motion in preparation of such reaction. Seizing that hand, Rae drove her other saber in to pin the hand to the wall in similar fashion. Rae stepped back with satisfaction to observe her handy work, both arms of her prey pinned high against the wall and leaving her helpless. There would be no more channeling of life magic with those hands. Stepping forward, Rae's hand seized the hair on the back of Nariko's head with a vicious grip. "No! Don't you da-" Nariko cried out in panic, her protests muffled as Rae's lips captured hers in a rough open-mouthed kiss. The ninja's eyes bolted open wide before she squirmed about in protest, her legs kick and flailing wildly about. Rae held her firmly into the kiss by her grip, tongues mingling before the black liquid rushed out of her throat. Nariko coughed and spluttered, forced to drink the noxious fluid. She violently struggled in those brief moments before Rae released her and stepped away. "What.. What did you do? That could not have been Lloth's Kiss. That was not poison as it came from within in you," Nariko coughed and spluttered, heaving to try and force herself to vomit it back up. Despite her attempts, she could not make herself expel it. She glared hatefully at Rae before being stunned by what she saw. The drowess was back to her normal self. Black skin, silvery white hair, and no wings. All traces of Death were gone. "What is going on, you wretched rat!?" Rae sighed in relief as she moved to sit on the ground against a large piece of stone debris. While, her bloodlust was not fully satiated in slicing apart as many corrupt souls as possible, the condition was that this was the fate her ultimate target must meet. "It is called Death's Kiss, actually," Rae answered with disgust as if being pestered by a petulant child. Eyes wild with hatred and madness, ninja spit venomously at Rae before the drowess continued non-chalantly."It is a poison made so that you will suffer as you have made countless others suffer." The ninja panted heavily as sweat dripped from her brow as the effects were beginning. Panic and fear now replaced the hatred in her expression. "What is happening to me?" "Your stomach is already absorbing the poison into your blood stream to be carried through every part of your body," Rae answered matter-of-factly. "It converts the blood into an acid that slowly eats away at the flesh. Soon your acidic blood will begin to destroy all of your body from within. But that is only the physical aspect of Death's Kiss. Normally such pain and trauma would cause the victim to black out and die quickly. The magical quality of this poison is that it keeps the victim alive and conscious through the whole process. Even if only a tiny bit of flesh remains on your bones, your soul will still be kept in place and alive to feel it all. You will experience the agony of melting away until the very end where only your partially melted bones remain." Nariko trembled in disbelief as her body grew hotter with every passing moment. Red tears coming down her face as she bled from her eyes, her cheeks sizzling as the flesh began to burn away. Rae sighed with weariness as she sat back to watch, listening to the ninja's hateful screams and curses directed her way before her shrill horrific screams echoed bloodily throughout the city. Rae paid her no sympathy was she watched. How many had screamed as they died at her hands? Had Nariko giving them any sympathy as she took their lives from them? She doubted it. It was a fitting punishment for those who are so cruel to the innocent. Long after the bones had stopped rattling about in front of her, Rae still sat there amongst the flaming ruins. Taking this form was exhausting enough on her body that she needed the rest soon after. Yet that wasn't what bothered her most
